In today's video we start off a Monday morning like any other but immediately get involved with a customer and a sale! Now I just have to schedule when he and his wife can come in to finalize all the details. If you have a "Dealership Life" topic you'd like to see in a video please put in the comments and I'll see what I can come up with.

How did fuel economy go down ? That’s unheard of. Normally goods/services get better/upgraded over time
Due to the chip shortage GM temporarily removed the AFM/DFM systems from the 5.3L V8... That is the system that shuts fuel down to certain cylinder at certain times to save fuel.
So it didn’t really go down unless your driving in stop and go traffic. The bigger difference that guy was noticing is the smaller fuel tank
@@DaveBsellsChevy That's actually a good thing in my opinion. The cylinder management system has been the death of many 5.3's. My dad had a 2015 Suburban...engine destroyed at 150k because of that system. Impeccable maintenance its whole life. I'll take a drop in fuel economy to have a more reliable engine! People who buy Suburbans, generally, are not buying them because they are great on gas. ;-) Your customer scored with his truck!
@@DaveBsellsChevy I wish I could remove the DFM from my 6.2
@@Bruins77Fan should be a chip for that you plug right into your obd2 by range technologies that pretty much tells the computer to not use the AFM/DFM (for newer models) and stay in V8. I know someone who had it in their 5.3 and it did exactly that with no issues.
Wow that’s amazing about the differences between the 2018 to the 2022 and as always another awesome video Dave B 👍
Love the videos Dave B please keep them coming!!!! One of the best content keep doing your thang an we will keep coming! 😁
GREAT video Dave! I love all of your content, but these are the ones I live for man! Good stuff following you around from before clocking in to running right into the mix of a day for you!
Cool! Thanks for the feedback
Early car deal is the king of a good day for a car guy
Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video Dave B!
You bet!
That’s one thing my fiancé doesn’t miss about her 2022 Tahoe was the gas mileage her car a 2022 Kia Sorento SX Prestige gets 22 city 27 highway and we live out in Los Angeles gas is expensive so she’s loving the Sorento’s gas mileage tho she’s hoping to get another Tahoe eventually or maybe a Traverse
Early! Good to see you Dave!
Great video . The Silverado is very nice. I have 20 Suburban which is similar to the 18. The New York International Auto Show is returning this week to the Javits Center. I am going to be checking it out tomorrow. Chevrolet has a big display. It is the only GM product there this year. Enjoy your day/ evening. Looking forward to the next one.
Have fun at the show... Be sure to ride the Jeeps in their driving demo. It's pretty cool!
Dave B great video’s sir 🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Buying the loaner Silverado also means the customer didn't have to pay the destination charge of $1695 either. Win Win.
A couple of months ago, I got a 2022 GMC Sierra AT4, and it has heated seats and a heated steering wheel. That's a luxury I didn't even know I needed.
lol, I feel once you have a heated wheel you can never go back to a car without
U doing a lot of vlogs Dave b good job
I'm trying to be more consistent and this new laptop is making it much easier
Hi Dave I just noticed that you have a new receptionist where did Tatiana go? And another great video.
She had started a new job and already earned a promotion there!
Like the Safire blue on the bolt, would get the same color in a Silverado EV with the 4 wheel steering, Dave gotta show us that EV when one comes in.
Beside the smaller fuel tank, the new body style is larger on the Suburban. No matter what, Suburban is still the largest and the best SUV for transporting VIPs.
My past Saturday was like this. I showed up early knocked out some tasks and had a customer when we unlocked the door. As I wrapped up that deal another customer showed up and I delivered a second vehicle. That basically took my Saturday. No complaints though lol
Great video broski. How did the client take the news about why their MPG rate/ fill up.
He understood although was hoping for a solution
I'm interested in the Bolt. I sell my Evo 8 and I'll be all set to buy. I'm having trouble fining Bolt's in Virginia Beach.
I agree with your theory on the gas usage for the Suburban (I have Yukon XL generations) BUT - I have an additional theory that the gas gauge actually alerts a low indicator of E but only taking 21-22 gallons of fuel at the pump… despite the 28 gal capacity…
Good theory!! I'll have to ask my client how many gallons are going into the tank
Diesel is the engine to get in the Tahoe/Suburban. Up to 21 city/28 highway. Around 7-8 mpg more for both, even with it being $0.50-$1 more per gallon right now it's a $900 option that will save you $1,000+ per year.
That diesel is a great option! Hopefully GM starts producing more of them. They are pretty rare at the moment
Bet you're glad the little Bolt is getting more range with the new battery.
It's funny, I was thinking of that today. The extra range is great but my car very rarely even gets close to half depleted since I top it off everyday.
Love my brand new 22 ram 1500 hemi bighorn
Someone else opens fridge and sees a Go Pro staring at them… 😂. Like your attention to detail with camera placements to give us the full experience.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I have a Chevy Bolt also. Great car.
It's a great daily driver
Question: Could you please give some advice on how to approach customers and sound authentic rather than a tacky salesman? You seem very laid back and approachable and that's how I want to be if and when I get a sales consultant job with Toyota.
bought my 1st Suburban in 87 new with 6K miles from the owners wife. Got a great deal due to being a "demo" and it was a great car
New viewer, love the channel, one question: why don't you drive a fully loaded corvette or camaro or escalade?
Hey Steve, welcome! I've had a number of types of vehicles in the past. Two C6 Corvettes, a lifted 2 door Wrangler, a Trailblazer SS but no RUclips channel at that time. This Bolt makes a perfect commuter car. The lease ends in sept and my next vehicle will be my first RUclips vehicle build! I'm excited!
How’s business going lately? Looking into getting into car sales.
God I never had such a hard time getting a new vehicle. I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee and I leased it well my lease will be up in a little while. Took it down to the Jeep dealer I have $3,000 in positive equity in it. Just waiting for the 2022 Jeep Compass to get in should be here in the next two weeks. Everything gets sold so quickly I’m either getting a Compass or a 2022 Volkswagen Taos that’s incoming. I just want to get a vehicle and be done with it.
It is a very tough time for car buyers and sellers alike. I feel like I have just been the bearer of bad news for the last 8 months
I hear ya. It’s frustrating. I have about 7 months left on my 2020 Ram lease with $6k positive equity. Trying to get into a ‘22 Durango GT Plus now. Hardly any available and the couple that are no dealer wants to trade. Its looking like my best option is to order one I guess. Ordering for a lease seems weird tho. Hey Dave, what’s ur opinion on this? Thanks.
That's interesting about the suburban mpg/range difference. Is the mpg difference due to no DFM in the 2022?
Precisely
You make selling cars look so easy! Does your dealership add on stuff like paint protection, wheel locks, window etching, etc?
No, the only required fee is our documentation fee of $329... We offer extended warranties, tire/wheel, lease end, etc... but it is all optional.
@@DaveBsellsChevy wow. That's pretty rare these days. Not only do they add on stuff but doc fees vary widely, some charge $800!
To be fair I should mention that we are currently at $2500 over MSPR on Tahoe, Suburban, certain Silverados, and $1000 over on Traverse. Everything else is MSRP.
@@DaveBsellsChevy That's still better than a lot of places. Last year my Hyundai was 2k over MSRP but they cut it down to 1k for me. Now they're around 5k over.
@@DaveBsellsChevy Does the owner not worry about customers returning after the shortages? We purchased a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe last June. Traded a 2018 Traverse we had bought out the lease a mo the before but it had been repainted by the dealership and they did a shitty job. Anywho, the Hyundai dealership refuses to go over MSRP, the GM said the owner looks at it like this. Customers who buy now will remember the dealerships who charged them more and will likely purchase somewhere else after all this shortage crap is all said and done, thus losing them repeat business.
I just purchased a refresh 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 with 3.0 duramax and get 31-35 mpg on highway.
Sweet! The diesel is definitely the best for milage!
Do you plan on going to the NY Auto Show this year? I hear there’s a lot of EVs there this year.
no, I won't have time to get there.
Gotta pay full retail NJ sales / use tax, yes ? Here in NC its 3% for new and used. Sales tax is 6.5 - 7.0 %
Yes, tax here in NJ is 6.75% plus our $329 doc fee plus NJ plates which in this case would be about $200/$250
Do u have any 2023 camaro zl1 1le orders ?? If so when can I order one thanks
I plan on getting a dealership job out of Highschool, since my parents know the dealers managers and such, any tips on what I can do to get prepared?
Learn to lie and be clueless about your product
its funny i work at a chevy dealer in las vegas nevada..
Cool man 👍
I’m suprised at the dress code, Jeans and a collared shirt. But I love that though that you can be casual and still look professional. Is the dress code the same at all Chevy dealerships
I'm a huge fan of the ability to wear jeans. Clients don't seem to mind it. Personally I'd much rather buy something from a relaxed guy in jeans and a polo rather than a full suit. Dress codes differ dealership to dealership
@@DaveBsellsChevy thanks for your reply! I’m highly considering getting a 2019 or 2020 Chevy Trax Premier with all wheel drive in a couple years and I’m also considering working at a Chevy dealership as a salesman too. Your videos have helped me to know that car sales is what I want to do
Cool! Glad you are enjoying my content
Hey I didnt get my fancy sold by Dave B sign , you owe me lol
haha, there was one in there but I re-use them so it ended up back in my desk
Hey Dave B I am looking for a Chevy blazer rs model cherry red with black roof and the 21 inch gloss rims. Would you recommend ordering one because I never done anything like it
You should buy the one we currently have on the showroom floor 👍
@@DaveBsellsChevy hey definitely would if it is what I am looking for. I have a few questions though
Just thought of this did Schumacher buy the old dealership out
Yes, the previous owners decided to sell the business and Schumacher picked it up
Hey Dave B. it is ^highly^ advisable that you allow the battery pak in your EV to fully drain on occasional. This will significantly extend the amount of CHARGES over the life of the batteries. Due to "range anxiety" many EV owners like to keep the unit fully charged at all times but since you seem to do mostly local driving I don't see you having that issue. Hope This Helps Yo ! 🔋 🔍 💯
He seems like he has done his homework on these cars he knows what he is doing
Most people will never keep the vehicle long enough for it to be a problem. Maybe it's selfish of me but on a three year lease I'm not too concerned about the battery's total life.
No. That's from NiCad days. My 2017 Bolt, topped off the battery most every night from a 3/4 level, showed no degradation in capacity after 44,000 miles. Got the new battery a couple of months ago. Great car, noticed locally that's it a Chevy dealer employee favorite. Have one as a service shuttle car, GM owns one too.
$2200 saved? Yikes, car market really is trash. Don’t get me wrong, savings is okay but dude should have saved up for a down payment and bought new
I offered the new as well but they really didn't mind the truck had the $4000 miles. Their current car has almost 200k so they'll get great use out the the new truck.
@@DaveBsellsChevy that’s why you’re a good car salesmen.
Is it true that the Chevy Malibu will stop production in 2023 ?
I was going to ask what happened to the Malibu on the showroom floor but there it is at @4:39 ...
Someone wanted to test drive so we pulled it out temporarily
How do you get all three different camera angles when you walk into the dealership and even when you go into the fridge? You had you set this up first then go in right?
I only film everything with one GoPro camera so it is a lot of setting up the camera and retracing steps. Then just editing it together
@@DaveBsellsChevy wow! Pretty amazing. Appreciate what ya do.
Aren’t the 2022 5.3’s derated on MPG due to the absence of Active Fuel Management?
Dave ? . . . does recharging your vehicle before it's lower decrease the battery life ? much like any rechargeable battery that loses its life span over recharges ?
It didn't affect my first battery in the 40,000 miles we drove it.
Wow.
They actually make you hit the time clock?
It started about a year ago coincidentally when one sales person used to disappear in the middle of the day
What about GMC Sierra Denali 1500
Also, have you found many free EV chargers out there or do you find you have to pay for most of them?
PlugShare is a great ap to find chargers. In my travels I have used auto dealers, outlets stores, Harley Davidsons, etc to charge for free.
Dave I want a good deal on a Chevy Colorado 4x4 Truck. I live in Staten Island All Black with black Leather interior. I don’t want to pay over MSRP.
We don't have any in stock at the moment but If you want to factory order I can get an MSRP deal done. If you want shoot me an email dave@schumacherlivingston.com
Have you driven the brand new GMC Hummer EV?
No, havent even seen one in person as of yet
Saving 2200 but hasn’t there been price increases on the exact truck msrp? so it’s more then that
Yes, a new refreshed would be about $6000 more than this truck overall. We do have two left that are the LTD model which would be $2200 more
Is that a Trailblazer in the showroom?
That is the Blazer RS
Did you guys get a new receptionist??
Yup, Tatiana left for a different job
@@DaveBsellsChevy dang!
Which magnetic car phone holder do you have?
This is the one amzn.to/37z43jz
Hey Dave B, you dont use the 80/20% of charging your Bolt
No, not at all.
what engine does that puppy have
2.7L
I would imagine with gas costing what it does going into a gas station is a traumatic event. While I like the big V-8 in a vehicle like the Tahoe,when you see the price is at, or near, $100.00 to fill up the tank your transportation costs go up considerably. I can see why many have chosen to get electric vehicles, I still think the cars are in the infancy stage. Newer battery packs in the future will increasingly allow you to get many more miles out of one charge. With charging process taking hours you are limited to trips not far from home. Now I’d like to see you get out of the electric car and get a new Corvette, that would be a lot more fun. Just kidding Dave, I do enjoy the videos even though it’s been decades since I’ve driven a Chevy product. My last Chevy was a 1965 Chevelle convertible. Great car, loved driving around with the top down. Have a good day.
A new C8 would for sure be more fun! I've owned two manual trans C6 Corvettes in the past.. What fun times!!
I might do one of these now hahahaahaa
One of what?
@@DaveBsellsChevy day in the life. It’s so much of a contrast to mine, yet so similar.
Was that Silverado a 4WD?
yup
He should have just bought a new refreshed 2022.
The refresh would be about $6,000 more since there is a price increase and also no rebates at the moment.
Dave B charges Chevy.
I'm shocked salesmen clock in. I woulda never guessed.
We never did. They just started this about a year ago
@@DaveBsellsChevy why ?
In S.C by law if you don't make atleast minimum wage compared with the hours you work they have to pay you minimum wage,or a draw which you pay back the following month.
Why do you have to clock in if its a commission only job?
They started doing that about a year ago... my suspicion was so they can keep tabs on someone who would disappear throughout the day
Punching a clock doesn’t really allow management to keep tabs on anyone. Especially in that kind of environment where leaving the premises is part of the job description. Ie: test drives,refilling fuel tanks . If you stop and think about it just punching in and out really doesn’t let them determine how or where you spend you time throughout the day. It only lets them know you punched in at a certain time and punched out at a specific time.
I know people are making the clock a bigger deal than it is but it’s just a feel good device implemented by management to let them feel like they are “doing something “.
Anyway good content bro. 👍
@@rapman5363 I agree. I think they just use it to book end the day to highlight when someone is late or leaves early
@@rapman5363 100% its a controlling thing by management
@@DaveBsellsChevy you have to admit tho its 100% not necessary to clock in to a commission job
I though President Obama signed into LAW that all cars have to get 20 MPG
Hey Dave liked your intro😎…can you please help me with your work email as one of my friend is looking for a used checy
First
😎
do you honestly believe in EV?
Yes, this is my 4th EV. They work great as a daily driver in my personal life. I also enjoy lifted Jeep Wranglers, Corvettes, and manual transmissions
