129 Cars
by This American Life from on (#55D96)
For our 25th Anniversary, a favorite episode from 2013. We spend a month at a Jeep dealership on Long Island as they try to make their monthly sales goal: 129 cars. If they make it, they'll get a huge bonus from the manufacturer, possibly as high as $85,000 - enough to put them in the black for the month. If they don't make it, it'll be the second month in a row. So they pull out all the stops.
