February 2008 - How are sales?

JackDye · 02-16-2008, 03:27 PM

Past the mid-point, time to take the pulse of the sellers. Looking at industry data, Feb is usually a pretty good step up from January levels.

Have at it.

JJSoCrazy · 02-18-2008, 12:02 AM

Its been VERY slow at Cadillac in the Westchester, NY area. My father is a Salesmanager at Cadillac for over 17 years.

VERY slow here in Northern Virginia, (Chevrolet)

FenwickHockey65 · 02-18-2008, 03:08 PM

Drove past a few dealerships the other day. Not much happening.
On a happier note, I drove past a honda dealership and saw maybe 20 accords just sitting on the lot. None sold. Nobody interested.

BryceStrong · 02-18-2008, 06:18 PM

Also slow. We gotta hit the phones.

ChebbySalesDept · 02-18-2008, 07:01 PM

Very busy Saturday and today.

Slow up until then.

It's a ghost town here. (Detroit)

On average, we do about 100 deals a month. Even December & January. So far, maybe 25...30 if we're lucky. BTW, I'm representin' Mazda.

Which dealership? My mom is trading her car in this month or the next on something new (no particular car in mind). Wouldn't mind sending her to somebody from this site. We're in Metro Detroit. Let me know...

That is bass ackwards. A salesperson that knows you personally and has dealt with you before is much more likely to give you a good deal.

Ask Your Sales Manager I Sold Cars For 32years Your Saleman Thinks He Knows You Personally And Take It That You Will Pay More He Gives You A Good Deal The First Time Just Like The Cable Co Then Charges You More The Next Time Around

I seriously doubt that you sold car sucessfully for 32 years by screwing over your customers like you say.

Troll alert.
