Can this be pinned at the top for a little while?
I just wanted to let you know that I have gotten a promotion. Our dealership was purchased by a dealer up the street. I will now be heading the Internet department for Lincoln Mercury, Pontiac, GMC, Victory motrocycles, and Big Dog motorcylces. They also sell small motorpsort things like ATV's and powered scooters.
I am training Steve Mullins in our parts department all about the CEG, NECO, FCO, MFF, SHOclub, and the rest of you guys. I will be giving him a cheat sheet with all the stuff you and I have dealt with over the years. This should make the transition much easier.
I will be starting up an Internet Parts department for all the GM stuff also for those of that may need some GM stuff.
If anyone wants to buy any vehicles, I will be more than willing to help you out. I will list the links to these dealerships below. Mind you I have not done anything to these sites yet, they are in their original state until I can get everything together.

Congrats on the promotion and good luck. You've been a stand up guy and great to do busniess with; your replacement has some big shoes to fill.
your replacement isnt going to know what hit him. hahaaa. bill, congrats and good luck.
Congrats Bill. You have seriously earned that promotion.
You are going to be missed dearly.
Congrats!! That is a great opportunity for you & sounds like it could lead to a whole new career!
(Victory motorcycles...
)
Don't worry about your replacement, we'll remind him of all the free stuff you promised the CEGers.
Seriously, I'll be needing a car for my youngest. She'll start driving come the fall, so I'll keep my eye on your L-M web site for a new ride.
Congrats on the promotion! CEG is gunna miss ya; dont be a stranger!
I will still be invlolved with the CEG for a while, remember I actually drive a 96 Mystique (SVT'ized).
At the beginning I will be real busy, then when the dust settles. You will see more of me again.
Thanks for all the compliments, it's been a blast talking to all of you in the past.

Mystiques are the greatest!!!!! You are the man!!!!!
Good luck with your promotion!
I hand picked this guy because I think he will model me the best. Still a little green with all the CEG stuff. But I am helping him.
The techs were amazed at the numbers that guy is pulling. They always thought the Contiques were lousy, then I told them about all the stuff you guys do and that changed their minds.
See you all soon.
BTW: Whenever you are in Vegas, be sure to look me up. I like having drinks with guys I have talked to on the phone for years but never met.
Does the new guy have a funny accent too?
I'm probably ordering something soon... and now I'm gonna have to deal with a new guy.
I know you'll keep him in line though.
Bill:
Thanks for all the help on my last repair project. Good luck.

The very best of luck in your new job. Maybe in a few more years you might end up running Ford !
One question though : how do I get the CEG discount if I do an online order ? Is there a code or something I need to enter ?
Congrats on the promotion Bill and welcome to Steve Mullins
Seeing that your moving to GM parts Bill, how much for the entire HID set up from the old body style Envoy? I'd like to add that to our new 04' Buick Ranier CXL
I'll have to call ya when we get to Vegas the first weekend in May.
Thanks again for helping me find parts I needed!!
I wish you the best Bill, and thanks for your service.
Congrats! Sounds like a great opportunity for ya!
So until this transition takes place, can we still place orders through you? I need to order up an intake rebuild kit (gaskets and such). Your phone number still the best way to get in touch with you?
Thanks and Good Luck,
Okay, so how do we get ahold of the new guy?
Congrats! And yes, how do we get ahold of the new guy? I need a few parts.
Me too. I need to get a price for a fog light wiring kit.

Congrats Bill. We'll see you in November when we come down to our favorite vacation spot on earth!
For GM stuff, see if you can top

Congratulations on your promotion Bill. This may be a sad day for all the Contique owners...but it could be a good thing for me.
I sold my Mystique and I now own a Pontiac Trans Am WS6.......I haven't bought anything but aftermarket parts for it yet.....but if I need anything.......I'm calling you first!
Congrats!
Ryan Paunovich

The order placed online are already disocunted. You will see the list price then your price.
Bill,
Thanks for everything! You deserve it. We will miss dealing with you directly... Maybe when I need a new car though...
Congrats!

True, but we wanna another discount - not for just ANY Internet customer but for the members of the CEG!!!
Seems to be a common thing (mechanics not wanting to work on Contiques) more of Ford's trying to make sure the Contiques were orphaned in the favor of Suvs.
Bill to get you started, little something I've ran into trying to help my son in Illinois. 1998 Prism evaporator purge solenoid (on canister behind the gas tank) built 10/97 takes a 3-port vaccum not the two port Toyota #90910-12186 (aisin). Have not received the proper part yet, but it supposed to on the way?
anyhow I guess it doesn't matter brand, getting the correct part is becomming a bigger problem?

For whatever reason, the SLM website won't pull up on my computer, maybe it's down? I dunno, but I found their address:
SLM
3030 Sahara Avenue
Las Vegs, NV 89104
And Steve or Bill (whoever reads this) thanks for the quick service and I'll get the money order and send it today.
It doesn't work for me.
Oh well, Google told me what I needed to know.
I'm going to see bill or steve, whoever is working next week when I'm in vegas, they do great work, my local shop flinched when I asked them to price match months ago.. oh well...
Great guys
hey man, you are impossible to get ahold of. Ive been trying to hit you up to see what you would charge me for a Front passenger sway bar linkage and a Left Rear transaxel mount (Manual trannie). But every time I call you are away from your desk.

I'm still waiting on someone at Signature Lincoln Mercury to send me the overcharge on shipping. I paid for 2-day air and they sent my parts ground. I hate to keep asking this, but all I ever get out of Bill is that he will do this right now and then I never hear from him again or get some foggy excuse?
If I call them on the phone again can Steve or Tim help me with this problem because it's not getting taken care of from Bill?
I'm not going to re-give my CC numbers over the phone again because Bill already has them. If he can�t find the CC numbers then just send a check to my address. I'm sure it can't be that hard to find my shipping address in the system. And send me an E-mail saying you have acknowledged this because I hate waiting around here, got better things to do like tweak my car.
I�m really at a loss as to why this is becoming such a big ordeal over a few dollars that would not have been a problem if someone had not made a mistake at Signature Lincoln Mercury.
I would still buy from them in the future because I know most of the errors I�ve had will not be repeated and I'll choose ground the next time to avoid any complications...lol
Holy crap! It shows that I never come into the General forum. This is the first I heard about this.
I guess that would explain why Bill is so hard to get ahold of.

This problem was resolved several days ago. I informed you that I was away on Jury duty, not a foggy excuse, and would credit the account ASAP which I did on 11/04/04 at 11:40am. So I have no idea why you are posting negative comments on this board several days after the credit was issued.
I have been a part of the CEG since 1998 and have helped hundreds of CEG'rs get there parts cheap, fast, and accurate. Sometimes mistakes happen, and I made good on my end by crediting the entire S&H for that order $15 to be exact.
So I would appreciate in the future that you not post comments about a situation that had already been handled.
I've been wanting to say this all my ceg'r life

I would like to send my biggest apology too Bill. 
I�ve been working solo at my job for the last 3 weeks with no one to help me on these servers. The stress level sort of blasted my perceptions way out of wack with everyone that I was dealing with at the time.
I asked my wife to check the account for 7$ from Signature and she said there was nothing, so I got a little steamy, I�m sorry. It was on her account that the CC# was for and she is not home yet to confirm the 15$ deposit.
I hope you have no ill feelings for the misunderstandings here with my little rant. You have got to understand my level of paranoia after dealing with years of being ripped off on the Internet.
Bill rocks! I order all my parts from him and will continue to do so.
Well, good news is my wife has the 15$.
And bad news is my wife has the 15$.
She never would have known..
That could have been 15$ for my TB intake parts.

THATS IS GIVE HIM HELL BILL
Bill is the great person to deal with - however, Eric is right - the Web site wouldn't work....
Do promise not to laugh but Steve Mullin moved up too - was promoted as a something-Manager. Tim Vierra is the guy to deal with.
Timothy Viera
Senior Parts Counterperson
Signature Lincoln Mercury
3030 E. Sahara Ave

No way, really? Damn, we keep going through 'em.
Oh well, I always forgot Steve's name and would ask for Bill anyway.
I'll still call SLM and ask for Bill Jenkins in 30 years.
Guys,
Steve was promoted to Parts Manager after our last one left after the takeover.
So you can deal with Myself or Tim.
I may also soon be able to get discounts on the following brands.
Honda, Toyota, Scion, Caddy, Chevy, Saab, Subura, GMC, Land rover, Buick, VW, Saturn, and Hyundai.

Remember you MUST enable 3rd party cookies in IE in order for it to work properly.
Bill - it worked ever since all right - I guess it was just a temporary glitch or something.
Bill,
sent emails to the addresses you posted and everything bounced and now your website won't load either?
Any help appreciated!
Yet another happy Ceger.
Heres my story, I called and asked for bill which in turn i got tim. I had to order a Svt cruise control cable and an SVT passenger side exhaust hanger with bushing. Got the Cable fine but tim wasnt able to find the hanger.
So i told him i would call him back when i got home with a part number. Not 5 min later i got a phone call back from tim saying he got ahold of bill and got the part number.
I was shocked that he just didnt blow me off and wait for me to call back. Ordered all my stuff and got them today. Bill just wanted to thank you again and please thank tim for the stand up job he did.
Hey bill, I know this is a little off subject... but I went to my local ford dealer to get my oil changed and get a free inspection... and I got my reciept and saw that the parts and service director goes by the name "Ken Jenkins" its a long shot, but do you have any relation to him? Up here in midland Mi.

And Bill, could you get me Bill Walton's autograph, seeing as how you have the same name..
Sorry, thought I'd throw some humor into this, as there are probably 10,000+ people in the US with the last name Jenkins. I went to school with 2 or 3 of them.
Mark
After reading all the threads in this post, that last one was the best. Love the humor!!
I have never ordered anything from SLM or Bill, but after everything I just read, next time I need something for my '96 SE I'll be sure to check with them. Oh Yeah, Congrats on the promotion Bill.

I would say rather 100,000+
