Great to hear about the repeat business you are getting from customers. Proves your style of selling does work and that people do like your style of selling. Keep up the great job.
Totally agree!
That BLUE Trax is VERY SHARP looking ! WOW! Love it! Lucky customer.
If I wasn't living on retirement, I'd be on the phone with you about that red Corvette! Love this new generation in red. I have a 1976 that is red but the new ones... wow. Hope the folks who bought the orange one enjoy it. Nice looking auto too.
Did you buy your 76 new? I’m glad you kept it into retirement. That is what I will do with my red C7.
@@williamconrad1087 No, I bought it in 1999. It needs some resto work now just need to find the time. Radiator leaks and carb needs to be rebuilt to get it running right but it's a lot of fun for sure.
In regards to your last comment regarding your repeat customers. It’s a testament on how you treat your customers. Keep it going . If I know someone who wants a Chevy
I’ll refer them to you . I am in retail sales myself and respect professionalism and the benefits of repeat /referral customers.
A couple of months ago I saw a video where someone was showing a charging station that had multiple charging stands and they were powered by a diesel generator. I understand about having a generator on a truck for emergency assistance like you mentioned but it does make you think when it comes to the charging stations having to be powered by diesel. Congratulations on your repeat customers !
Dave. Thanks so much for sharing
Dave, do you think it was a good decision for GM only offer ICE or EV and not develop a Hybrid like some other manufacturers have? Has lack of a hybrid engine turned any buyers off that you are aware of?
The story was by Brian Sullivan on CNBC. A midwest Ford dealer was required to provide a number of charging stations at the e-dealership as part of Ford's electrification program. After spending a great deal of money, the dealer was informed by the electric utility that they could not provide enough electricity to power the chargers. The dealership had to buy a diesel generator.
Dave how's the wall pine tree? Really wish you were a Chevy sales guy in the Austin TX area.
Dave I’m currently looking for a vehicle and I can say that I am so tired of the games dealers play. Not that I want a Tesla,but I’d be happy to buy a vehicle that way. I’d buy from an online retailer if they were selling new. Great content
I’d use the wrap to surprise people with cars like corvettes! Keep it up Dave as always!
Dude, framing the window sticker for your clients!? That is freakin’ awesome! I’d love that!
The town the dealership was in could not support the chargers. So the dealership installed diesel generators instead to power chargers. All the time.. not a backup.
So this "town" could support residential and commercial, but not EV chargers? coughcoughbullshitcough
OK, Let's be civil here please! This is happening and was featured on a major news channels and RUclips auto channels. There are dealerships across the U.S. where the local electric company can NOT support a high voltage hookup for EVs., MAINLY in RURAL areas! Sometimes putting in a high voltage station requires a high voltage transformer or substation nearby, depending on the facilities of the electric company. It is way too expensive in some instances for the electric company to provide this service and upgrade all their equipment for only a couple chargers that are occasionally used. The only way to install EV chargers on these sites is thru diesel generators to use when charging is needed.
@@FleaMarketJohn Links. and who appointed you the hall monitor?
@@texasstuff1281 you are just a rude person
Does anyone have a link to the story... I tried to find but couldn't
We had a SparkEV that didn’t have a front frame for a plate (bought it used in another state). Virginia requires a front plate and it didn’t pass inspection. We ended up using heavy duty adhesive backed Velcro and it worked well for the 4.5 years we had the car.
That’s really cool to frame the sticker for the customer that is something that they will always remember nice touch. It’s the little things people remember.
I have sales people the second the deal is done it’s like Iam a stranger they don’t even know who Iam 2 days later.
Hey Dave, Toronto here, the car buying experience in Toronto is pretty unpleasant these days, low inventory, you know more about the vehicle than the salesperson and the hidden add on fees are out of control, if you sold 7 vehicles to the same customer ..you are class act! well done!
I get this in canada these days .dealers sell maybe 10 models and 4 or 5 are 80 %.they never know anything about what they sell .
Click on your video, and RUclips serves me up a Ford commercial. Sneaky Bastids!
haha
Another upload Dave B Sells Chevy! Loving your content, sell some cars!
Dave we miss seeing what you have lunch!! Please include your lunches for us pleeeeeeaasse..!!!!
I don't see how an adviser that sits around in a Tesla store can make a six figure salary, hell they aren't selling a darn thing.
Reminds me of an Apple store.
Update on your bolt
I enjoy your videos and information
I got my bolt in June and it’s been the best car I own
My family and friends have been surprised how well car rides
Going film a 1 year update soon 👍
Love the dealer ship life videos!
Dave got the stickers thanks so much!😁
You go it!!
too bad the cover can't be reused/returned to GM
It totally could be reused. such a waste
Like sure, put a used cover with who knows what on it on MY new 100k car, no problem.
@@georgeseymour7116 that cover could be reused again, chevy can collect them again, clean them and then reuse them without damaging your 100k car. it does not look like a one use item.
@@georgeseymour7116exactly. It was on the back of a car carrier or on a train from Kentucky to New Jersey through all kinds of weather, tire spray and everything else. One and done.
Keep as a vette keepsake. Better than
ending up in a landfill. CB
Hey Dave! I just started selling Cadillacs in the DC area! You gave me a little look into the industry a few years back and I finally made the switch. Love your content and can't wait to see more!
Best of luck!
There are solar portable electric generators that can charge your EV, granted you only get 3 miles, but it is possible. One in particular is the Bluetti (I think thats what its called)
I live in the Pittsburgh area, east of the city long ago was a Chevy dealer Grabiak Chevy they were the Corvette champs mostly all vettes on the lot...
There was supposed a Ford dealer that installed a permanent diesel generator because the city owned electric company could not get the dealer the upgraded electrical service to power any chargers for their Lightning trucks and Mach E's.
What city? Does anyone know?
I think the comment you highlighted was a joke of some type. There's no car dealership or person on earth who'd run a diesel generator to charge an EV; it'd cost far more than the electricity from the utility company!
Corvette Conti is using your Dealership Life tag line now.
Nice!
@@DaveBsellsChevy I don't see it that way.
6:17 What's up with the ?umbrella? waving around in the background lol?
Haha, good eye.. That was just a guy and his wife picking their car up from service
It was super easy for me to buy a Saturn as well, back in 2005. I missed out on the S-Series.
Carmax does paperwork online as well.
Great videos dave! Love your content I’m currently on the hunt for a trailblazer do you know when the new ones are coming out? For example within the next month or two? P.S. miss what you’re having for lunch please bring that back please and thank you 😊
I have a friend who works as a Tesla Advisor. He makes $65k with 5 years of experience in florida. The ones that make around 90k have more experience and live in California (LA, SF) where the cost of living is much higher, so they adjust for that.
Dave if the ev only time comes with your experience you can work for Tesla and make good money, you can manage also all possibilities.
Is there a bonus structure or commission for units? I saw that base is 65 but average is 92k with potential over 100k
Florida is not a cheap place to live! Especially buying a home and insuring it! I know of a half dozen individuals who left Florida in the last year because the cost of living there was going out of sight!
I am interested in the 2024 high country 1500 midnight package with z51 pano roof, when do you think you will start getting inventory on them
It hurts to say this, but it's mind boggling to me that people still buy American vehicles. Their quality control is horrendous. I bought my first Lexus ES 350 F Sport back in 2019, and the quality compared to American cars is like night and day.
I buy American because no foreign manufacturer makes a truck that will carry my 7000 pound truck camper! And my last GMC had 684,000 miles on it when I sold it!
@@gmv0553 I'd bet it was an older truck and most parts on American vehicles are made in China and then shipped to America for assembly. We bought a Kitchenaid dishwasher a few years ago and it had a made in America badge on the outside door. The piece of junk motor broke within 2 years and when I took the motor assembly off, it said made in Mexico🤣. I'd buy a V8 Tundra over any late model V8 gasoline American piece of trash. It's sad that this is happening, but even Jim Farley said their quality control is bad and it'll take years to repair. GM and Stellantis are no exceptions.
@@ilc-nl3yyNew Tundras only offer twin turbo V6 now.
@@deepthinker999 I know. I said V8 Tundras. The new hybrid Tundra seems interesting. It's mainly for launching so there isn't any hesitation.
Off car topic. But what are your sunglasses?
I hope the car market corrects itself and dealers go under and we can have direct to consumer purchases. Im definitely not a GM fan my worst experiences were at a chevy dealership. GM is in a world of awakening with the discontinuing of the camaro and other products. Dodge is in the same boat and will tank. Ford isn't better but out of the big 3 my experience with Ford is better and luckily I have a good dealer that I purchase my mustangs from with no ADM or dealer BS.....plus the mustang lives on into 2024....and with a V8.....but yeah all dealers need to go most of us hate and don't trust dealers...we need direct to consumer
Direct to consumer just means we will pay more for vehicles.
@DaveBsellsChevy respectfully I disagree. Tesla has done multiple price reductions over the last year and they are direct to consumer. If you want to talk about price increases how about you and all the dealerships completely remove markups, dealer add ons, dealer installed packages, adjusting the APRs in financing ect ect ripping consumers off. How many C8 corvettes has your dealership sold above MSRP?....exactly! Direct to consumer is what we want.
@@mikelnorman2402 We will all pay more for vehicles when it is direct to consumer
@DaveBsellsChevy it just means you can no longer put ADM's on your inventory. Noone more 30k markup on C8 corvettes. Noone more extra bonuses. It's facts. Prices will drop
@@mikelnorman2402 I think most of us agree with you mikel, but they won't come out and say DaveB is wrong here (respectfully). Since we're not going back to pre-2020 pricing (below MSRP/the way it should be) Manufacturers keeping inventory low (for the most part, compared to pre-2020) Of-course demand will be higher than supply, and dealers are laughing all the way to the bank! So... yes the direct to consumer would be best in today's environment.
Relationships are still important today as they were 30 40 years ago
If you’re answering EV questions.. when are you switching your cords over to NAS and curious are your EV chargers free and in a location that customers can reach at all hours of the day
I was surprised to hear about the decent Tesla salary. Also, I was surprised to hear NJ gives the EV credit to Teslas. In NY, only EVs sold thru a dealer can get the state rebate. So, my EUV got the rebate but my Rivian did not
In NJ it has to be vehicles under 45k to get the $4000 if it is over 45k you get $1500
That is what it is supposed to be getting repeat business and not screw with the customer. No matter what the boss say it is retarded to piss off customers to make a little more now and not look at long term.
That cover was over 500 dollars since it was part of the destination charge.
Boosting the algorithm
Great video, the Tesla purchasing model is the reason dealerships will go away and be replaced by service centers. No more salespeople.
When are you going to go into detail about the Chevy bolt being uncanceled?
There's really not any info out as of yet other than there will be a Bolt on the Ultium platform. When I get more info I'll definitely cover it
Your repeat business (5 cars for 1 owner, 7 for another) is phenomenal! Way to go! ALSO... Love the look of that blue Trax. Not surprised it sold so quickly!
First day tomorrow at David Stanley Chevrolet any tips for product knowledge i feel like i dont know enough about certain chevy features like i dont know what Z71 provides
Build and Price on Chevy.com is a good way to learn what comes in the packages.. Best of luck tomorrow!
I wonder how much your job will change over time. We will always need advisors or sales people but a friend of mine bought a Ferrari and designed it via VR. With low inventory wouldn’t that be a good way to show a customer a vehicle that’s not there or even allow you to sell to people not physically at the dealership.
Hey Dave b just to let u know I am Tom b from Cherry hill nj I walk lots all the time and met someone looking at a trax but this dealer Mark's everything up. I seen 2 young women and told them about you and one grandmother lives in Livingston. Just saying I will be looking at a new vehicle soon.
Cool man, I'd be happy to help.
I like your vids can you try and make the cover recyclable?
Why does it need a funnel?
Any words on Blazer EV arriving to dealers.
love your comment about the gas station example, because lots of ICE people out there , are just plain haters to EV for politocal reasons and do not see the good in EV i am all for both anyhow, use what you like and do not hate.
You hit the nail on the head!
Any info on the ‘24 EV Equinox coming in?
Dave instead of tossing away the delivery cover why don't you ask the new owner if they want it?
I can promise it would do more harm than good trying to put it back on... plus they are usually dirty from transportation
Dave when are you buying your Corvette?
In the future for sure... Currently waiting to see what is up with the Silverado EV RST that I had reserved first
Little Red Corvette?
That diesel gen story related to a Ford dealership had to install to qualify with Fords dealership requirements for ev charging. The problem for the dealership was that the local power company didn't have room on their grid for the extra load necessary to power the ev's
Really.. my only source was the comment.. I couldn't find anything online about it.
@@DaveBsellsChevy This was referred to on Caredge a few days ago. FWIW.
At is total bs about the electric company!
Are you selling or taking orders?
What level Trax is that blue one?
1LT
When do you expect to get the new 25 traverses in?
The new 2024 in 1st quarter 2024
I don't see how....weak minded people pay these crazy prices
Exactly!!
Cars and trucks prices are just too damn much add on the interest rate on top Nope I’m drive my old car till the wheels fall off
How are the EV sales going ? I’ve heard customers are just not ready to make the leap . Is that true ? Can you give a percentage of sales EV to gas . Would EV’s account for 20% of your monthly sales ….
Going great for us. We just cannot get enough built. We've been sold out for over a year. Everything is sold order and we have about 25 waiting for allocations to be built
Where do you think the electric comes from to charge those EVs?
Hydro, wind, solar, gas, nuclear, coal. The ratio depends on where you live. Hope this helps.
Here in NJ 90% is combined nuclear and natural gas
Wish it would rain here!
After 20 years in the car business why haven’t you become a sales manager/ General Manager. ??
Sales is great money, little reaponsibility, stress free.. plus I rather deal with clients than employees on a daily basis.
Chevrolet needs to make 3500 Suburban available to people
Starting Tesla Gallery adviser make like 39,000K lol..
Why didn't they think about EV's back in the '70's and '80's?!!!! They are not thinking!!!!
Technology wasn't there yet
I think a ton of people are waiting for an artificial intelligence car buyers app we can take to a conventional car dealer to help us get the best possible deal and not feel like we left 3 grand on the table when we leave.
Pay MSRP and then theres no worries about money left on the table
Spoken like a true salesman. So if we’re just going to pay MSRP then why do we need car salesman? Great reason to just buy online.
It's kinda neat s to see idoits paid what ever dealers ask !
Laughing and high fives in the back room days are over! If GM made a good product these ridiculous prices might make sense!
Bro Stop.Its a Ford store that couldnt get enough power from the power company.Comment when you get the story,sorry I dont have a link.
Sounds like a scam, lol
You car dealers need to start getting some real inventory.
I prefer my vehicles to not give me range anxiety every time I go for a road trip.
Range anxiety is a myth! You map out your trip and the car will show you where to stop to charge!
@@gmv0553 imagine believing this
Chevrolet need to complete the vehicles before they leave the factory especially the Equinox, Trailblazer & Traverse as they ship them with missing some parts on the body & some features not enabled. Stay away from Chevy's made in Mexico & Korea as they poorly made & have quality control issues there.
Has to be major brain damage and time to deliver a car these days , ammi right Bro ? Be honest…
Not sure I understand what you mean...lol... guess I have brain damage
@@DaveBsellsChevy
I know when I sold new Toyota’ 10 -15 years ago as the technology increased management demanded more thorough explanations and service walk throughs that increasingly took more and more time ; it would take hours to deliver a new car , between the time it took me to massage the finance dept to do their job and going over the car with the customer it could take 3-4 hours of my time
Most of the luxury brands now have a delivery specialist that sets an appointment to go over all the tech and features. Spent an hour going over everything for my wife and me. I can see this filtering into normal brands, as they don't want to take the salesperson off the floor for an hour or two just for delivery.
@@dean68w19
Oh okay that’s good , are those cars you’re delivering in this video considered “luxury brand “ ? If not , how long honestly is the delivery process…
I ordered a new Buick Envista which has GM's last ICE in it. I will never ever buy an EV, you can't force new technology down people's throats if they don't want it. Mary Barra is wrong when it comes to EVs. I wonder if she has noticed all those Ford Lightnings sitting on dealer lots. 🤣
You will "never buy an EV". Hope you are at least 60 years old.
If Mary is wrong, then the whole world must be wrong! But I think you are wrong!
you cut your hair sir
