A Detail Step By Step Guide to Starting a Successful Preowned Car Lot Business for All 50 States
Have you ever wanted to be your own boss? Are you looking for a rewarding career? Do you consider yourself a master salesman, or maybe you want to become one?
Are you looking to start a business that really matters?
Car dealership owners provide a much-needed service to our communities, and this service comes with a personal touch that cannot be achieved via an online-only buying experience.
Sometimes, it appears that there are more cars on the road than people. How could you possibly make any money in this industry?
The market has never been better for individuals striving to begin their own used car dealerships. Used car dealerships are a recession-sturdy business model.
With my 30 years of hands-on experience in the automobile dealership industry, this book fulfills my need to give something back. I share my wisdom and time-honored advice for venturing into your dream career!
My family memories involve selling baseball cards at the local flea market and traveling to auto auctions with my father and Uncle Sam.
Although I was an adult at the time of my first auction, I felt like a kid on his way to the circus. I became captivated by the action between the auctioneer and the people with the paddles.
My Uncle Sam's voice cut through the bidding to yell the winning bid for a beat-up and rusted yet supposedly reliable pick-up truck.
Three weeks and two paint jobs later, I watched him sell it for a $3,500 profit.
I was immediately hooked.
Since then, I knew I desperately wanted to sell used cars, not just for the insane profits.
I once sold a gently used Volvo in great condition to an elderly couple who were absolutely thrilled to have it. They wanted it for safety reasons and, of course, its record of reliability.
That made me proud.
Moments like these make it all worth it.
Car salesmen must be therapists, educators, and extended family all rolled into one. The entire experience can be enriching!
