action

Ben Selleck's used car dealership in Temecula , California is in crisis, so the owner calls on sales professional Don Ready for help. This is a macho, womanizer and full-blooded sales professional. He travels with his team. 211 cars have to be sold on a sales weekend. While they motivate the salespeople Sellecks, everyone also has to deal with the joy and sadness of love. The bisexual Ben Selleck harasses Ready's colleague Brent, Jibby seeks true love and woos a young stripper, Babs desires a ten-year-old who lives in an adult's body, and Ready falls in love with Selleck's daughter Ivy. However, she is engaged to the unbearable Paxton, son of Selleck's greatest competitor and singer in a boy band.

Ready had an affair in Temeluca 21 years ago and he believes he rediscovered his son in car salesman Blake. He develops fatherly feelings and a longing to settle down. He also tries to come to terms with the death of his mentor McDermott in Albuquerque . Because of a woman's story, Ready was distracted and had swapped McDermott's parachute for a backpack full of sex toys. McDermott then fell to his death. Ready enters into a risky deal: If he does not succeed in selling all the cars, Selleck faces bankruptcy and the takeover by Paxton. After a few twists of fate, the sellers manage to sell all but one car: a sports car from the film A Boiled Rascal . Here Ready pulls out all the stops: he succeeds in selling the car to his arch-rival Paxton. This then leaves Ivy.

In the credits you learn about the further fate of the protagonists: Almost all of them are looking for love, but fail.
