Stuff For Guys

DEALERSHIPS. ARE DONE!! I’m thinking about the sad state of affairs confronting Automotive Dealerships today!

I believe like I’ve read, Dealerships will be history, like retail stores are going through massive bankruptcies and closing stores, 4800+ in 2017 alone, and over 1 billion square feet of vacant retail space that will have to be repurposed to different uses.

I sold automobiles for 8 years, selling Audi, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, and Toyota. I know what is wrong: 1.) customers don’t want to waste 4 hours on a beautiful Saturday buying a car. 2.) Same selling techniques used for the past 120 years. 3.) Managers that insist on talking to a customer after multiple back and forths with the sales desk, 4.) Salespeople who don’t really want to be at the dealership because they have to be at the dealership for 50–60 hours per week, working for a $100 flat selling and delivering a car, taking 4 hours of the Salespersons time. There are more reasons, but enough for now.

Do you know how long it takes me to buy a new car? I just bought a 2017 Toyota 86 Limited Edition in Super Nova, with a 6-speed Manual…….Thirty (30) Minutes, start to finish, including F&I, and a Test Drive!

Dealership are FINISHED!!
