May sales?

We got a little of this on the Malibu thread, but how are May sales? Given they probably lack vs history, are they improving over the recent months? In particular, better than April? More traffic, etc. Thanks, enjoy reading all your posts.

Re: May sales?

Here in Indianapolis our traffic has been piss poor. We are a newer dealership (Ed Martin Buick Pontiac GMC) and have been out for like 4 years. Traffic has been increasing every year, and every month we have outdone the previous year's month. Right now we 40 cars short of matching last years May. We sell the G6 more than anything, along with a vibe here and there. Interest still remains high on the Acadias and Enclaves. The thing that has killed us is that GMC is dead(except for Acadias). 3 Yukons, 0 Sierras, and 0 Envoys sold this month. Most of our business comes from GMC especially Yukons in our area. I am starting to look for another career.

Re: May sales?

Lets just put it this way...it is May 29th and I have only sold 1 and a 1/2 deal with another sales person...and both vehicles were used.

You have to understand I am in the middle of no where at a family owned Chevy dealership in South Texas...but this month is still ridiculous! I sold 1 used and 7 new last month!

This has been the worst month ever since I started selling cars 7 months ago.

But I am going to hang in there!!!

Re: May sales?

I work at a small delership in Canada, and we are having a pretty good May. Started off the month very good, it's tailed off a little bit in the last week and a half, but traffic is picking up. We usually do 30-32 a month. Did 43 in April and probably finish with 40-41 for May. Used sucks this month, but new has been pretty strong. We're a four line dealership, and we are seeing a pretty good mix of everything. Biggest problem we're having is running out of stock. Trucks, Cobalts, G5's all very scarce. Wondering if anyone else has noticed the Malibu cannabalizing sales from other models. We've sold 1 Impala this year, and sprinkling of Allure's(LaCrosse) and 1 Lucerne. We even had two deals last week where customers came in on Torrent's and left with Malibu's. I totally understand it, I picked up my own Malibu three weeks ago and couldn't love it more, but I was just wondering if it was a trend everywhere?
