Does anyone know that name of a movie that came out about 10-15 years
ago that was about a used car dealership and featured a tough talking
bald manager?

Was this guy the manager? If so, I can tell you the name of the movie.
If not, can you recall any details about the plot?

Pink: No, that actor was not the manager. The manager was bald as an
egg, and he delivered a wonderful soliloquy in the form of a pep talk
to his sales staff that included every conceivable method of ripping
off customers. The same actor has appeared as a lawyer in a relatively
recent TV series. I believe his last name begins with a "B."

I am almost certain of this, but I'd like you to verify.

I am thinking of "Suckers," starring Daniel Benzali, who played a
lawyer in a TV series called "Murder One."

Here's a good pic of Benzali:

Okely-dokely! It's good to have been able to nail this one.

My first thought was a great comedy called "Used Cars," in which Jack
Warden played the manager of a used car lot. The first photo linked
above was of Jack Warden.

Since a second thought was needed, I racked my brain until it emitted
the memory of having seen the very bald Daniel Benzali in a movie
about used car dealers. A search thru Benzali's listing on the IMDb
produced the title "Suckers," and the rest is history.

Internet Movie Database: Daniel Benzali
http://imdb.com/name/nm0073137/

Internet Movie Database: Suckers
http://imdb.com/title/tt0199054/

In case you want to buy the DVD, it's available for cheap, and the
used ones were only played by little old ladies on Sunday:

Amazon: Suckers DVD
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001LJCT8

I'm glad to have been able to help! I love "name that movie"
questions. If someone had told me five years ago that I could earn
money with my headful of trivia, I woulda thought they were joshin'
me.

Very best regards,
Pink
