did you see chevy showed the new 2024 trax redesign! looks so much better
I did. It looks Great!
I love your videos and the edits!
A 3 year old Equinox and the hood already has rust. Chevy Quality at its finest lol 😂
The new Trax looks amazing!
I'm going into the car sales business starting next week.....0 experience here so hoping I can learn and end up great at this, been djing the past 16 years, so my main nervousness is learning it and getting it, pretty sure I'm going to be fine but so glad I have videos like yours to study, thanks Dave, keep up the great work!
I’m a realtor in California and what your co-worker Eddie said it best. You have to adapt to the circumstances. But, if you are great at what you do you will survive.
Right on!
Awesome video as always Dave! I really love the camaraderie with your team there... you guys are really tight-knit and it made us feel something. Really enjoyed the video, glad you are getting some sales in too! Your insight, on top of Eddie's and Dave F. made this one of my favorite Dealership Life videos ever. Great job man!
Thanks bud 👍 and your Camaro Carbon fiber hood is looking 🔥
@@DaveBsellsChevy Thank you so much!!! That car is coming along very nicely! Appreciate you!
That was great seeing and hearing from the other sales people and their perspective on the changes that occurred in purchasing a vehicle.
Dave B , watching your videos and other TH-camrs who work for dealerships made me want to try car sales . I have my first interview with a Chevrolet dealer next week . Never sold cars before but you make it look fun !
I used to be the lot manager organize the lot and vehicles now I drive truck but been looking to get back into it
We have a good time. I am fortunate to work at a good store with good owners and a customer centric environment.
@@johnde2754 thanks for the advice no I know a lot are that way . The one I am interving at is no where around where I live but it's supposed to have a guaranteed salary plus commission . At least that's what it says figure I would go and here them out . I do have sales experience but in cell phones looking for a change I know it's a Hussle and a lot of work in car sales but it looks like more fun then my current career path I am in now .
@@Woolathabeast89 Plan on 50 hour work weeks, one Sat. off a month and 3-4 nights a week. I'm doubtful of the guaranteed salary after a probationary period. At least that was how it worked for me at the dealer I worked for.
I sold cars 27 years! It will suck the life right out of you!
Great video, I like where you are taking your TH-cam channel !
Thanks!
What a great video.
We just bought a new car virtually. Was an amazing process and really made the process easier, especially if you know what you want.
Thanks for watching 👍
Buying a car should be like ordering a pizza, choose your toppings and specify delivery or pick in person.
Interest rates are over 8%. Stock market is tanking. Home prices crashing. Car sales will tank
They tanked over a year ago.
Love watching your videos Dave I live in Toronto but if I lived in New Jersey I would buy my cars for you.
I was watching a 1940 Chevrolet training film Those guys were going door to door back in the day selling cars. You guys have it easy.
Was in N Jersey Thursday 10/14 from Central PA and I could NOT believe how many cars are on ALL the dealer lots. It’s still crickets here in Central PA with lots barely 1/2 full or less. Same thing in NC 2 weeks ago, full lots - and lots of TRUCKS!!! 😂
We are also still pretty low on inventory. 42 new in stock most of which are Malibu, Silverado, Equinox... Old days we'd have 300 new in stock
Dave you have a good appearance a good demeanor and very well spoken. I’m very surprised your not a sales manager. From watching few of your videos you have a lot of potential. Go move up to sales manager and eventually GM.
I actually rather deal with clients vs employees.. I manage myself and my client base and have been successful at it.
@@DaveBsellsChevy I have no doubt your a good salesman. I was in high line car business for 12 years. I can tell good sales people right off the bat.
That was a top notch excellent video! That's what you call team members who work together! Even the guy with the face scruff 😄 DB
I'm happy that you got more sales. I'm tired of the criticism given by people who don't work in car sales. Tesla, Carvana and Vroom has tarnished physical dealerships. Give me a car dealer anytime; a source to go-to.
FYI: Carvana and Drive Time are owned by a family. The son runs Carvana and the Dad runs Drive Time.
At least with the dealership you can get your car serviced and parts that you can't get at Auto Zone.
But selling over msrp is sleezy. I like in person deals but these dealerships selling over need to be shut down &/or fined heavily. GM fired at least
For me personally if the dealership is not willing to do majority of the deal over the phone I don't buy the car from there. I want to do everything over the phone when the car is ready I'll come in sign the papers and leave hopefully within an hour. For some reason salesman always want you to come in to talk why should I come in and talk we can talk through text, phone, or email.
Generally the dealer wants you at the dealership to increase their odds of selling a car
I would never buy a car without test driving it first, SOMEPLACE. It's far too expensive a purchase to just buy over the phone.
Hello from the Netherlands, love the insights to a different market
Thanks for watching!
You guys are crazy lol, and that that, I saw the 2024 TRAX, it was sweet.
I for one can not wait for consumer direct. Dealers provide nothing to society other than profit for themselves.
You guys look like a great team and have fun doing it! 😀
We have a good time.
certainly hope it's not the end, prior military had to change careers and was just hired in at a chevy dealership. start Monday and am super pumped.
Awesome! Congrats on the new job.
I start October 24th and your videos are really helping me learn a lot of information. Please keep posting ‼️‼️
Easy to survive when you add market adjustment or super inflated prices to the end sale price. Todays dealer operate like this; sell less cars=make the same amount profit as before.
So I just saw the new Trax for 2023 or maybe 24. It says that it’s actually slightly bigger than the Trailblazer but yet less expensive. Can you compare those two for me?
New Trax is real nice looking! I have to do some more research on it.
@@DaveBsellsChevy awesome, my parents are interested in that or a trailblazer so I’m trying to help them pick the right one.
@@christopherskuster6029 Trax looks to be the better car & value BUT... it only comes in FWD. So if you want AWD, you have to go with the Trailblazer, which is still a good choice. For me, I'd go with the newer Trax & put on snow tires if needed in the winter.
hello Dave B and YT watching people
I’m 100% getting the new 2024 Trax. I just hope dealerships aren’t selling over MSRP when it’s time for me to get mine.
It looks real nice!
Just got done watching Craig at flying wheels and he said the same as crazy Eddie. You need to adapt. Always stay in front of the curve.
Haha, very entertaining with your coworkers in the video too.
In the headhunter world we call it a split.
Another great video
I appreciate that
Great video Dave!
Thanks!
I hardly think that the auto industry is going away soon, if ever. We all can’t ride bicycles or use jet packs to get where we need to go.
Well done yet again Dave!!
Thank you 👍
Love watching your videos so much I do miss working in the car dealership as the lot manager/lot porter being in charge of the vehicles and the keys and knowing so much about the vehicles been looking to get out of trucking to go back to the dealership
Thanks for watching!
Hey! I just got hired on for a Ford dealership in NC. Can you do a video for new car salesman/ how to get customers?
Congrats!!
hey dave, so let me get this straight, with your outstanding customer service, you always offer the best price to the customer out the gate correct? there's no haggling, right?
As the saying goes "half a loaf is better than none".At the mom & pop store I sold cars at we split deals all the time.
4:45 Same with me. I’ve got like 7 essays to grade that’s due tomorrow at midnight… have I started yet? Nope. Should I be doing it right now? Yep. 😂
Awesome video, any Silverado ZR2s come in yet for review?
No, we have only had one so far. It was a sold order and delivered months ago
What an insightful video, thank you. Dave, could you address the shortage of new Bolts? We read that production is being ramped up but we continue to see few 23's in the dealerships. How long does it take after assembly to get a new car on the floor? What is the current lead time for a new Bolt? Did I notice your '19 Bolt in the lot still? That must be due to pricing? Thanks!
Good topic to talk about.
Other great resources are "Your Auto Advocate" (YAA) and Kevin Hunter "Your Homework Guy" They will tell you what is happening in the market. They are past sales folks and no longer in the day to day business but know many folks that still are and are not biased at all.
I was on a YAA episode last year! Great guys
You guys are great! Fun group 😂
Would you say you are selling more new cars vs pre owned?
Seems like you guys have a decent amount of inventory.
The dealer where I bought my EUV always seems to have an empty lot.
Probably more new than used. We just got a bunch of inventory in last week. Mostly Malibu (which we never sell), Equinox, and Trailblazer. What we can really use is some Suburbans, Tahoes, and Traverses.
My Mom be trading her Audi for a Tahoe soon but we live in Florida :(
Is that your old blue Bolt on the lot? Surprised it's still there. If I were buying a car this year the Bolt would be at the top of a short list (and probably the only EV on it).
Yup, that is my old car. It has been nice having it for test drives since we are sold out of new Bolt's plus all of our inbound Bolts are already sold.
Well there's got to be some negative consequences coming because the cost of auto financing is steadily going up. Your customer who got out of the lease is now paying $100 more on the new one. There's going to come a time when people just can't afford it. I think that interest rates are going to go up at least twice more so its going to start getting expensive if you dont have top tier credit. Repo guys are seeing record business these days.
Chest mount, looks funny, but works.
Dave B, great videos. Congrats on your latest Marathon! I'm a 4 time Ultra Marathon runner myself. Just completed a 12 Hour Endurance Race in early August...completed 37 miles in sub 11 hours. No where times like yours, but I finished and I'm 62...so I'm happy! Keep up the great work.
That's AWESOME!! Keep on moving! 37 miles is quite the distance. I can't imagine doing another 11 miles after crossing a marathon finish line.
Rising interest rates will crush the used car market and return things back to normal. Dealers will be selling at a loss. Suddenly that "chip shortage" will be gone and dealer lots will be full of new cars going for well under MSRP. No more parking tens of thousands of new cars and trucks at abandoned race tracks. It will be a buyer's market.
Time will tell
Dave B and all other current salesmen will be long retired by the time EVs reach a market majority.
Hopefully.. I'd love to retire from auto sales in about 3 years if this TH-cam hustle pays off
Those 2 guys at the end of the video either didn`t want to answer the question or didn`t understand the question. It was definitely more about rising interest rates, slowing economy and demand destruction not lack of supply. lol
Good morning Dave Rick from Massachusetts one quick question we just got our traverse redline retrofitted foe the heated seats front and rear do you know when the heated steering wheel will be next thanks in advance
I haven't heard anything yet
I see a proactive cop but as a car salesman, have you ever considered selling cars and arresting people for DWI, and maybe just maybe making that car sale, the bubbling under that paint job is your desire to join the police force! lol JK love the videos, keep doing what your doing, do what you love everyone
How long does it take to get a new 23 chevy bolt from order to receiving? An why does it take so long
I wonder how many of these “cash split” deals happen. Would be awful if you had enough payouts to put you in a higher tax bracket while your coworkers were paid in cash (even if lost tax dollars) they’d be in a lower bracket. Of course, it would take some deals (plural) for that to happen.
Not too many. Maybe one or two a month for the store. Most salespeople, myself included, here at Schumacher will come in on a day off if needed
Is this dealership owned by Schumacher in Florida?
Why are all of the new vehicles in the back of the building and not up front?
We put used cars up front
Nice video.
Thanks!
Good for you...btw.. I had to view .75 speed....Hopefully it'll be that way from here on out...lol...!
I am some what of a quick talker
The "future" is probably hydrogen fueled cars, honestly. And I'm a Bolt EUV owner now! If EV's are the bridge to future, non-poluting cars, then electric it is until hydrogen (or whatever else might pop up!) becomes the new propellant for vehicles.
When do orders open for the new Colorado, Dave? Thanks!
not sure as of yet
Just subscribed
Day of Dave and splitting deals will be interesting. The real question though is how tall are you and how short is the other guy? 😂
lol, I am 6'5" not sure about the other Dave... maybe 5'6" - 5'8"
Is that your old Bolt still sitting on the used car lot?
Yup, going to be a tough sale here in NJ.since the new models have that $4000 incentive. It will probably end up at auction
Hey my friend
Are you guys putting "Market Adjustment" on top of MSRP?
Yes, currently on certain hard to get models.
@@DaveBsellsChevy PURE GREED!
@@kckettridge My question is when the supply and demand door swings back the other way (where it has been for the last couple decades) will buyers still pay MSRP like they want to today? Or will they want to get the vehicle as cheap as they can?
@@DaveBsellsChevy cheap is a representation of quality. Value is a representation of price. I believe most people are reasonable and want a value. Those that are only price sensative are not your true customers. What many if not most retailers have created by virtue of their greed is a one time buyer and not a lifetime buyer.
I’m hearing people with 800+ credit seeing rates in the 7s. Any truth to that?
Seeing lots of 5%
Most Used Cars Will Have Chip Shortage Including New Cars If You Would Respect That You Will Survived.
Seems like a lot of your customers are multiple day deals. I usually take delivery the same day. Weird.
We won't release a vehicle without all the stips... money down, proof of incentives, insurance, etc
@@DaveBsellsChevy I bought my 2019 Silverado new in utah in out 90 minutes. With trade in too.
🔥
Wish this video was 20 minutes plus lol
I don’t think electric is the future i still think it will take another 40 years or more people just don’t want electric yet !!
I agree.
You are correct because that is reality.
Yes. Everyone will be going electric in about another 4 years. Agree.
Until batteries last longer than 4 or 5 years, cost way less than 30k to get replaced, and can be recycled, EVs won't be adopted by all. As it stands right now, EVs are an environmental disaster that in no way is any better than coal power plants.
@@MrRay3801 true
The business model for electric cars is worrisome. My phone battery is worn out in less than two years, so why should I have faith in the very expensive electric car? Also, what are we going to do with all the giant worn out electric car batteries that come out of otherwise, perfectly good cars. Then there’s the cost ineffective replacement battery. There’s just simply no replacement for displacement.
Coming from some who decided to drive electric 5 years ago (me) it isn't worrisome at all. Battery is warranties 8 years/100,000 miles. There's already junk yards all over the country filled with decades of broken down, old, damaged cars what the difference if its gas or electric?
At 6:34 😱 It's got cancer 😥
That Toyota RAV4 will sell fast.
Love that you guys are embracing the electric future!
The “electric future” is a coal-powered hoax.
So if coal is being burnt either way then just focus on an EV as a product. EV's are a great driving experience!
Sounds like the auto industry is in a free fall similar to 2008, I hear the same thing from real estate agents, there are still “some” sales out there.
We are way past what happened in 08... Back in 08 we only slowed down for a couple months due to the credit drying up. Once it freed up we were busier than ever. The industry now has been slow for a year and a half.
I’ll be so glad when dealerships go the way of dust, I can’t stand the dealership or the people that work them, you all are scammers, you never give people the real information. I’d rather buy a car from Amazon.
You shouldn't have so much hate in your heart. Lifes too short Ernest
@@DaveBsellsChevy And you all shouldn’t have so much greed on your minds, when you sell people these hunks of shit ( Former 2021 blazer owner), they bought it back cause the build quality was trash… Do you explain to people how they are going to owe more then the car is worth so they are getting screwed Now and Later, and anyone who has ever bought a Chevy knows your never going to get out of it what you put into it. So paying more is absolutely the stupidest thing one could do. Only folks exempt are those that have no choice to buy to keep life moving.
jeez i hope ed doesn't get audited
These vehicles are all Chinese junk. Dave knows it and Chevy knows it.
No you’re just a clueless *troll.*
When do you think Tahoes or suburbans will have more inventory?
Isn't a Tahoe or Suburban something that you should always special order? Who would just buy a random large SUV?
Not sure.. Suburbans have been non existent.. We need them! They are pretty popular in our area.
@@DaveBsellsChevy how often do you get an allotment to sell suburbans? the dealer near me seems to be getting one every few months. And so it seems to be even a waiting game even if we wanted to order one if they don’t have an allotment.
@@rpifass same here.. we have three currently in the system being built. They were deposit taken about 8 to 9 months ago
@@davestvwatching2408 before COVID they had new and used suburbans and tahoes on dealer lots. I hope that comes back at some point. It’s not looking good…..
You guys could easily sell me dirt 🤣
lol
