* SpoiledByTheFormat: In "129 Cars," a Long Island Jeep dealership must meet their quota for October in order to get a bonus from Chrysler, which is crucial to keeping the business in black for the month. After weeks of deal-making, close calls and near misses, car #129 is sold just in time, at 5:00 on October 31st. There are still ten minutes in the episode. [[spoiler:Two hours before closing, one sale is disallowed, and another one falls through. With some hurried negotiation with some borderline buyers, plus a last-minute walk-in sale, they meet their goal.]]
