8 Malibus sold in 3 days; 3 today already.

pgill00 · 05-26-2008, 05:06 PM

7 at sticker and 1 at GMS. Only 4 remaining in stock and 1 Impala.

53 total pieces in the last 7 days which is the best week of the year (averaging 99-110 per month so far this year). Get your mind right salesboys and girls, things are losening up.

If you do not know your cars, get a brochure. If you are watching the news saying how bad the economy is, stop it.

Put a smile on your face, get your inventory sheet and get in front of someone.

Glad to hear sale are doing well in general, the Malibu in particular. Would like to hear other dealers' sales numbers if you guys wouldn't mind sharing, Saturn Aura in specific. Thanks.

Keep up the good work!

Good to hear! I hope your dealership (and all dealerships) can keep it up. What models are selling best (LT, LTZ, etc.)?

Get me a BU with a LS3 and a 6speed auto and you can make it 5.

I agree gmmerc5, we need to start up those monthly sales threads again. I loved to hear about those sales.

**ChevyRules** · 05-26-2008, 10:14 PM

I can't count how many are being sold at my dealer. Pretty hard to keep count of them since we have easily 15 Malibu's in stock if not more. Though I see at least 3 people checking them out a day. Hopefully some are turning into sales.

Seems at my dealership were only selling fully loaded LTZ 3.6s or total base models.

gmmerc5 · 05-26-2008, 11:17 PM

From 3 dealers reply so far, it seem that these dealers are having a fairly good supplies of Malibu on hand to sell, I hope this applied to all dealers nation wide. Any Saturn dealer out there? How is the Aura's sale doing?

Wow, good job man! Hope that pace keeps up. Nice that GM has such a competitive sedan... the Malibu can grow sales while the competition falls!

1LT is by far the best. LS is second and LTZ third. We sell a 1LT in 6 days or so, LS in 12 and LTZ in 15-18 (though we did sell the 4-cyl yesterday after having it only 6 days). We have 1 2LT right now and we have had a very small amount of those.

Ended the day on 6 total units with 4 of them being Malibus. The truck delivered two more white ones last night (an LS and a 1LT). It was a great day and got out of here by 6!

It is really impressive since there is only a $1000 conquest bonus cash on these cars. Interestingly enough, none of our Malibu sales yesterday had a trade involved.

We sold 7 on a Saturday a few weeks ago. We had more then 40 at one point we are now in the 20's. We just received 21 Impalas on Friday that puts us over 40 for Impalas. We also had a seven week stretch where we sold more then eighty Malibus.
