Book excerpt: How to Start, Run and Grow a Used Car Dealership on a Budget Start Part-Time or Full-Time Right from Home-Start Your Own Used Car Business It is not hard to become a used car dealer even if you are on a tight budget. As far as the income potential is concern, it is higher than most other side gigs you will find. Just imagine this, you buy a 6 years old Toyota Camry with 87K miles for $4,500, you bring it home, clean it up, fix few minor scratches, wash it wax it, then put it up for sale on Craigslist for $7100. In the first three days you get a few calls, and after 4 test drives, you sell it for $6,600. Let's see how much you made from this sale. You paid $4,400 + you spend $350 on fixing minor issues, so your total cost was $4,750, but you sold it for $6,600, so your net profit from this sale is $6,600-$4,750 = $1,850 Not bad for few hours of work. You see if you buy the right type of cars and price them right, there is no reason you can't sell 2-3 cars a month and make a handsome extra income each month. I have a friend, who has a small insurance business. He has been selling cars on the side for last 25 years, and he told me just by selling 2-3 cars a month, he was able to pay for college for all his three kids. On the other hand, if you want to grow, then start small but reinvest the profit you make from selling each car back into the business and soon you will see, you are growing at a fast and steady pace, but you have to be focused and dedicated.

Used Car Dealership Business Startup 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 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 is 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 already, how could you possibly make any money in this industry? The market has never been better for individuals who are striving to begin their own used car dealership. 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 all of 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. I was an adult at the time of my first auction, but I felt like a kid on his way to the circus. I became captivated by all of the action happening 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 was able to watch him sell it for a $3,500 profit. I was immediately hooked. Ever since then, I knew I desperately wanted to sell used cars, but not just for the insane profits. I once sold a gently used Volvo in great condition to an elderly couple who were completely 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 have to be therapists, educators, and extended family all rolled into one. The entire experience can be very rewarding! If you have a passion for cars, helping others, and making lots of money, you cannot go wrong with starting your own car dealership. In this "Be Your Own Boss! Used Car Dealership Business Startup" book, I show you everything you need to know, from start to finish of how to run a used car dealership. You can even start from the comfort of your own home!

Book excerpt: Simply Selling More Cars Won’t Be Enough: Revolutionizing the Retail Automotive Industry ​Dale Pollak believes that the car business—and the dealers who make their living in it—are in more trouble than anyone cares to admit. After four decades and three best-selling books, Pollak has witnessed the trials and triumphs of the retail automotive industry from a vantage point that few get. While car dealers are making good money, he warns that the industry is at a critical turning point, with too few paying attention to how inefficiency and lack of transparency are sapping the industry’s true potential. Amid the ever-faster confluence of technology, the Internet, and changing consumer preferences, the future prosperity of the industry is far from secure. Like I See It offers practical solutions, such as making the sales process more customer-focused and digitally driven to encourage sales, managing new and used inventory to mitigate margin compression, and ending factory bonus checks. It spurs much-needed conversations and sets guideposts that help dealers, OEMs, and solution providers improve how they do business. It also shows dealers how to stay relevant, evolve to keep up with the changing times, and deal with issues like high personnel turnover and the coming disruption of ride-sharing, self-driving cars, and Millennials who don’t want (or can’t afford) to own a car. Pollak believes that success will come to dealers who recognize that each customer engagement is a chance to make a positive impact and create a bond. He offers a collectively minded approach that will help build a better, more profitable, and prosperous retail automotive industry for tomorrow.

There is no secret that the seller's whole motivation is to sell you the vehicle at the highest price possible, and/or at the highest interest rates possible, and/or on the seller's terms. It is a very common practice in dealerships that the higher the sales person sales the vehicle for, the higher the sales person's commission. The higher the interest rate, the higher the sales person's commission. The more the sales person can convince you to sign the contract closer to his terms, the higher the sales person's commission. Therefore, it should not be a surprise to you that you need to gain the most knowledge you can to offset the sales person's strategies and tactics and save yourself some money.

Download or read book The Art and Science of Running a Car Dealership written by Max Zanan and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the pocket guide I wish I had when I first became a general manager of a Mitsubishi dealership in New York. Honestly, I am not the brightest star in the sky and made every mistake anyone could've possibly made. Unfortunately, I see dealer principals/general managers/general sales managers making the same mistakes today. The only difference is the time and consequences of these mistakes. I got my first GM gig in 2004. That was in the beginning days of the Internet, before millennials joined the workforce, and way before any viable disrupters entered the market space. It was a lot easier to get away with mistakes then. I don't think you could get away with making the same mistakes now. The stakes are too high. Automotive retail profit margins are tiny. According to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), automotive net profit margin as of March 31, 2019 was merely 1.38 percent. As a result, every misstep makes it harder to stay in business.The car business desperately needs better leadership skills, understanding of social media, inventory management, fixed operations, and so much more. There is no educational barrier to the entry into car business, and there are only a handful of universities offering a major in car dealership general management, such as Liberty and Keiser. On top of that, only a tiny percentage of dealer principals and general managers attend the National Automobile Dealer Association University. That means that a vast majority of general managers receive training on the job, even if we took business-related classes in college. The auto business is a different animal. General information will only carry you so far. That is exactly why general managers make the same mistakes year after year. My goal is to break this vicious cycle and provide as much information as possible to ensure that automotive retail survives the disruptions we are witnessing today. We need to be ready for the next generation of car buyers, people who are more computer savvy and not afraid to search for better deals. According to surveys, 80 percent of millennials plan to buy a vehicle in the next five years. In fact, millennials worldwide will buy about 40 percent of all vehicles in the next decade. At the same time, they spend an average of 17 hours on line before going to a dealership.Are you ready for them?

Book excerpt: The Mom Test is a quick, practical guide that will save you time, money, and heartbreak.

As a matter of fact, it's not their responsibility to tell you the truth. It's your responsibility to find it and it's worth doing right .

We all know we're supposed to do it, but nobody seems willing to admit that it's easy to screw up and hard to do right. This book is going to show you how customer conversations go wrong and how you can do better.
