A friend of mine purchased the Bolt from Dave B last week. She said he was great to work with. Low pressure, responsive and knowledgeable. She highly recommended him and loves the car.
🙏
I do not miss the back and forth with management when I sold cars. I wish they would give us a price sheet and say anything above this price is ok to sell it for. Would make things so much easier for everyone.
Good stuff Dave. Happy New Year!
Many states, Leasing is not good because you will have to pay the entire Sales tax upfront. So it could cost a buyer thousands just to ride away from a car.. and the mileage caps are very low for most buyers. Many states also have property taxes that are due every 6 months on the value of the car. I just wrote out a check to the state of VA for my pickup for $2000 for 12 months .. which was more than my property taxes !! This tax is due every year and will go down as the resale value decreases with age... but when you buy a new automobile plan on paying about 4% on the value .. in addition to Sales Taxes and Registration Taxes. VA is not a place to be jumping in and out of new cars every few years.
Happy New Year Dave. I hope you and the dealership made your quota, and get Monday off.
Happy New Year Dave! Thanks for all your content you made for the channel!
Thanks for watching! Happy New Year
Dave, the portal launch is the least of GM’s worries…should start with fixing the EV’s (not Bolts). FYI…we own a 2020 Bolt and love it!
Wishing you a successful month of January. Happy new year Dave 🎉
Happy New Year Dave B..
Happy new year!
Looks like you had a great sales year. Happy New Year and hope 2024 will be just as good for you.
Got to love payment buyers trying to compare pricing while not knowing the MSRP or OTD
Happy New Year
Happy New Years to you and your family and also the work family.
Happy new year!
Happy New Year Dave. I hope you have a great 2024 car wise and personally.
Happy New Year
Cool video, you’re good at what you do.
Always enjoy the videos. Looks like the Bolt is selling well. Happy 2024!
Can't wait for the 24s to come in... the new traverse looks dope
Happy New Year from Houston Tx
Happy New Year
Happy New Year Dave B
Happy New Year
If I don’t have $1500 in disposable income, I’m not even thinking about a 3LT Traverse 😂
Please post a video Saturday or Monday letting us know if you are open on Monday. 13 between Friday/Saturday sounds like a lot to me. Working on New Years Day is not fun, but no unheard of either. Best of luck to you!
Man i just started with Stonebriar Chevrolet of Frisco. I enjoy your videos. perfecting my craft and chasing all my goals and dreams. Love the content I know God got me in the right place
Awesome show
Happy new year from New Zealand. Whe are half way through Saturday 30th here. Have a good safe weekend and a happy new year
Happy New Year!!
Your job looks fun. 😊
Great video I’m thinking about changing careers and becoming a car salesman I love talking and meeting new people and feel I need a change how does the pay/commission work with your particular dealership?
Great video, Dave. Glad you are busy! What baffled me in this segment was that you have a customer who has to come up with $533 or $543 each month for the car they're buying --- but they don't have $1500 to put down. Really? They don't anything to put down... but they're gonna pay that much reliably on time every month?! I hope so, but I'd be skeptical! Anyway, congrats on getting more inventory in to sell; I know you guys will move 'em out!
They have the money... people say that all the time. it's just a negotiating tactic.
American way bro , no one has savings but they’re out financing a car ?? Real smart huh? This is why people will continue to be broke - their lives are nothing but payments… good luck with that… maybe ya shoulda kept your older car and continued to drive it.
@@toddprater14right I’m driving a 2023 Prius xle paid off lol. The car payment would have been $883.
@@galupproperties3098 yikes!!! Paid off is such a nice feeling
It's a lease. Never put money down on a lease. Never, never, never. They will always write you up a quote with 0 down. At least I've never had them refuse yet.
You are definitely a car salesman!
Enjoy your videos!
Will you let us know if you sell the 13 so that you don’t have to open on Monday?
I live in CA. Wish you were closer, as it would be nice to e to purchase from someone who seems honest!
The RS you sold at the end was that also the $38k or so window sticker or did it have lesser features than the one you worked up initially? It is easy to offer a lower price when you are giving a lesser vehicle.
Happy New Year! Can you get a 2024 white LT trim Equinox EV?
A great 2023 in the books and hopefully a great 2024 ahead. Happy new years
Happy new year!
You make it look fun and relaxing…..
In NJ is there personal property tax every year on vehicles ? We have it here in NC. Happy New Year Dave
As always great video. I used to lease an equinox a while ago. I don't like leasing prefer to own but that's a personal preference. I think we paid a $100 more than yours. Have a beautiful day and keep up the great videos Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊🎉.
Always lease a GM because you know it's going to grenade
@@Jeff-sp7bg I have a palisade now and I love it. If I lived back in Jersey I would definitely buy an SUV from Dave B. Have a beautiful day
I bet they launched the portal as it was on their goal metrics that they needed to achieve by the end of the year
Thank you for the video. I like your positivity. The new Blazer EV actually outperformed a Tesla Model Y on a high altitude range test in Colorado. Impressive, but I wish the price was a bit lower.
True but there is a stop sale on all the Blazer EV right now because of major software issues with the car GM has to work out
Hey Dave been following for couple months now and wanted to ask . Do you turn the RUclips videos into appointments and sell those? I’m trying to get myself out their as well. Don’t have a RUclips yet tho! Just looking for pointers ! Thanks again.
Although my goal hasnt been to sell vehicles through RUclips it helps out a lot. Many people who see me on YT come in to purchase
Dave what’s up with the 99-02 rcsb Silverado that’s in your back lot in every video? Old plow truck?
Yea, lol i should talk about that in a video.. its been here forever
@@DaveBsellsChevy I’ve always seen it and been curious
Can you ever do a breakdown what dealers make on vehicles, Example a 2023 Chevy Silverado high country 5.3L with all the options. I know it's inside information but I've always wondered it,
Interesting that your dealership has vehicle for a regular customer, my Chevrolet dealer mostly has utility truck. Also sedan/suv that are configured for rental companies in my opinion majority black/white, some have color but like 2-3% are.
I am glad you are making deals and not charging above the sticker price. Thank you for being honest.
You can charge over msrp and be honest as well.
Don’t worry they charged $499 for nitrogen
4:12 customers gotta understand its like we gotta work the desk as much as them sometimes LOL
My Parent's got a new 2024 Equinox a few months ago. I was impressed by the intellibeam feature and led headlamps. However, we are real disappointed with the overall sound quality, reproduction, and power output of the radio/sound system; and cannot help but wonder if something is wrong with it? I
haven't heard a new Vehicle radio sound so bad before. It does not have the optional Bose system and the settings are properly adjusted.
Dave, I suspect that the GM-er who decided to launch that funky portal on December 29th was secretly on FoMoCo's payroll. 🤣
Working Monday will be freaking rough!
If they did crank windows and just fm radio that would take all the distraction away from other parts of the cars like suspension
Who comes up with the 13 car quota by end of 2023? GM or local management?
I believe it is to hit the number our owner wants us to hit.. that number is always higher than GM's
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas my 18 year old sister got a new car for Christmas she loves it already
Nice! What did she get?
@@DaveBsellsChevy 2023 Equinox RS in riptide blue it’s got the RS leather package with safety and infotainment only 2 extra options it’s got is the front license plate bracket been she lives in New Jersey but the car came from North Carolina and it’s got the panoramic sunroof MSRP was just over 37k
Not sure about your dealership but christmas to new years is usually not too busy from what I've ever seen. Sold 9 cars in 3 days this week myself
Dealing with management would drive me insane.
Our managers here are cool. We all get along very well
Looks like the Genesis models with the new headlamp designs.
It is wild to me that someone without the ability to *only* put down $1,500 can then say they can afford any monthly payment.
It’s very common. I can’t fathom not putting anything down to help outrun depreciation and get a lower monthly payment. Unless you have an 800 credit score and don’t care about payment and use all that money you didn’t put down to put into investments, that is the only way I see not putting something down. Last vehicle I put 6,000 down that way it puts me ahead in the timeframe I want to pay it off, plus didn’t have great credit so I came accordingly lol
Seeing you trying to get the Traverse deal through with your manager reminds me of a child who wants something. “Can I mom! Can I!” Just kidding. You are a hard worker. That is a less common thing today.
Why don’t you use the alarm when your trying to find the car?
Is leasing the most popular at your store?
Yes, in our area we do at least 50% lease at the moment
Leasing is popular at every store .. your payment is based on what the depreciation is over 3 years ,.. to buy your payments is a lot more per month.. but after 5 years it’s yours.. after a 3 year lease- your turning it back in and repeating the process- always stuck in a payment…
I had no idea leases were so popular
It’s because they are cheaper right now, if the same people wanted to buy the car they are leasing it would be much more a month for payment
Honest Question - what data does a Sales manager have, that you do not have - where you need to stand in front of him to make a "plead your case" in order to get to the number you need - why not provide you this data - so you can close your own deals
Dave, im wondering, it doesnt seem like you sell many trucks at your dealer? Which contradicts GMs sales numbers of trucks being the majority. Seems like you sell a ton of traxes, trailblazers, traverses. Is is just the area you're in and demographic?
I'm curious, you've been at that dealership for a number of years. Why are you not a sales manager?
Can't speak for him, but some of us would rather stay on the floor. I can make just as much if not more money on the floor and not have the added stress and hours.
For me it has never been about the title.. I've always felt my skills were best in dealing with clients rather than employees, procedures, etc... Plus like DJ said the money is similar and responsibility is way less.
@DaveBsellsChevy I would think the pressure would be way less. Not having to worry about selling a vehicle to make a paycheck. Especially in the winter time when the snow is falling and customers don't want to get out and purchase a vehicle. I respect what you do because I did it for a short time. The hours are long and the pay can be bad or it can be great.
@@rickeybradley2635 It's much higher. You would be surprised how much of the stress the management hides from the sales staff to keep moral up. Sure, they will make a decent check either way but to have a great check they have to rely on the sales team to hit goals. So a ton of that is out of that persons control.
500 a month car payment, you people are nuts! And so are the ones buying it.
500 is nothing. The avg car payment is over 700
Too bad Chevy stopped making the Bolt for 2024. They sold everyone they made. The 2025 model may be made, we’ll see. Chevy likes to sell high profit vehicles, not cheap ones.
The Bolt seems like it is still selling well. My wife and I have a 2017 Volt and a 2019 Bolt and just a few days ago were discussing what options we might have if we decide to replace one of them in the next few years.
Always suck up to the sales manager to get the deal done. LOL
Talk the atv guy into buying the shortbed. Loading an atv in a truck bed always has potential for things to get exciting (dangerous). A basic 5x8 trailer today cost around $1k and is so much easier and can be used for many other things. The shortbed is going to have tighter turning radius and be more parking friendly for the other 99% of the time the truck is in use.
If you know how to ride an ATV it's not much of an issue. A $1000 trailer is garbage. A quality aluminum trailer runs at least 3 large In the era of Putin flation. Any trailer puts a big hit on your fuel economy.
@@larry7690 TDS hit you hard, didn't it?
@@GoogleDoesEvil And 30% of your wacko pinko friends
I don’t get why the standard box isn’t more popular
most people don't use trucks for truck things so they don't need a box very much
You really need 24 feet of clear space to get it in your garage. You rarely find them in metro areas. If you want a crew cab with a standard box you will have better luck if you shop the farmer dealers.
I got a job at Chevy in sales. I’m a little iffy because Chevy cars are a pos. How do I get over that? Any tips?
Does being a previous customer actually get you a better deal?
Definitely, especially if you are easy to work with and nice about going about business.
Hey Dave B. what was the sale PRICE on the recent sale of that "TrailBoss Silverado Z71" pick-up and what was your store's ⬆️ mark-up ⬆️ premium ?!? Many Thanks Yo ! 👉 💸
Happy New Year Dave from Joliet, Illinois! 🥳🎉
A chevy dealer should give dragon man a highcountry super charged new truck there should be people that find famous people to have commercials for a truck in payment do ya think??
Could i text you or dm on something i start my car job in may jsut nervous
Email is dave@schumacherlivingston.com
@@DaveBsellsChevy emailed you thank you
big haircut guy
GM probably launched that new portal when they did bc someone had a 2023 objective that had to get done.
Dave has gained some weight
Muscle... 6'5" 220
@@DaveBsellsChevy Don’t listen to him Dave, you look great.
Curious...why does Chevrolet and most of their dealers completely ignore the Maliblu's existence even though it's consistently one of its best sellers? I know the push is to put everyone in an SUV or CUV but clearly a market remains for sedans yet you guys completely ignore the Malibu.🤔
Seems everyone wants suvs. Heck even all my coworkers drive one. They all claim they are more comfortable even though they get way worse fuel mileage.
@@galupproperties3098....I bought a 2019 Malibu Premier new back in August, 2019. Have absolutely loved it. Chevrolet has done little to nothing since to update and/or keep it competitive...they eliminated the Premier for the '23 model year which was disheartening as I'm nearing the time to trade in my '19 and I will not be forced into an SUV/CUV. The 23/24 "replacement" for the Premier is a 2LT which has had most of the content that made the Premier competitive removed.🤷♂️ I've owned Chevy's for decades but they're making it difficult to remain loyal....and watch their commercials or promotions even on their social media...they don't even bother to show the Malibu typically in their line up...
Keep up the awesome videos coming. Fyi I i you know that GM made the 10 speed transmission for ferd as of 2024 they having the transmission built in China the cold you believe the Lincoln Navigator is only 24% American ......for 105.000.00 not me !!!!😮 HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR. 😂
Lets buy a new car but we can't even really afford 1500 bucks down...another debt slave..😅
Not really... just negociating tactics
@@DaveBsellsChevy they probably just "negotiated" their way into 4 more payments at $543 at the tail end of the lease, instead of the $1500 down!
Fools , I would not be financing anything in our current climate…car payments are for suckers
It's a lease. Never put money down on a lease. Never, never, never. You're renting the car. If the car gets creamed the next day, you don't owe any more money, but that down payment is gone. Won't be recovered, no way to recover, vaporized. Yes, that's the way it works.
@spazzman90 I've always wondered this about leases, if you're out that down payment money should the car end up totaled
Gm plastics look cheap
All the american car dealers really need to close up. Nobody is buying your junk vehicles. How can you stay in business anyway.
Well arent you a positive individual.. lol
@@DaveBsellsChevywell apparently some people still need to buy cares or they would have closed already…lol
Except for the millions of US vehicles that are sold every year, none are selling.
If You value Your money You would never buy a Chevy.
The truth is out there ....just free your mind and the rest will follow.
2015 Silverado 1500, V6, 70,000 miles, bought new, zero breakdowns /repairs so far except battery.
@@jamesrecknor6752 If the AC condenser hasn't been replaced you will be replacing it soon. Put a little silicone around the onstar antenna it will leak and wreck your headliner. Change the transmission fluid every 20000 miles and pray for the best.
I bet your days are pretty boring with the price of cars and interest rates. Those lots are flooded with vehicles.
I'm at 20 sold for the month so far so I'm good 👍
Moving that metal, getting that money. @@DaveBsellsChevy
Dave is selling in a high-income area. I would not doubt if he has a lot of cash in hand buyers and People That like leasing.
I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Do you invest with a professional broker??I'd appreciate it if you show me how to go about it.

A day in the life of every car sales PERSON.....yes women sell cars too.
1. Circle the lot like a vulture looking for scraps
2. Swoop in as soon as someone enters the premises
3. Pretend to listen to what they want in a vehicle
4. Show them the most expensive vehicle possible
5. Use any tactic you can think of to make them buy the vehicle
6. Try to upsell them on every accessory or option available and explain how great or necessary they all are especially the extended warranty or service contract.
7. Shake their hand with a smile knowing you just took advantage of another victim.
Yea, this video is about MY day and I am a MAN
I bought a new car two years ago, and I had the opposite experience. I think the salesman was afraid that I was already sold on the car (which I was), and if he tried to upsell me that I'd walk or something.
I put $10K down on a $17K car, and I had 800 credit. It seems I would be a good candidate for an upsell.
Let's try to maintain Party approved Correct Speech and not assume our own genders. lol @@DaveBsellsChevy
It is actually very sad the customer doesn’t have $1500 to put down yet can somehow afford a monthly car payment. I’d almost tell them sorry we can’t do the deal for you and here’s a book on how to better manage your money. Unfortunately people are bad with money management.
It's called trying to get the best deal.
It's not about that. Never put money down on a lease. Never, never, never. They will write you up a quote at zero down. At least, I've never had them refuse.....
I’ve never put money down on a new car purchase. It literally makes little to no difference on the monthly payment.
@@joppaman21040 If the transaction is a Buy , it does !! , It will lower the amt to finance, thus lower the monthly payment. Lease is different.
This job is too easy... Can't wait to get started interview tomorrow
