Buying a Car Doesn't Have to Suck™
That detail guy was mistaking your kindness for weakness. Kick rocks!
It's so refreshing to see a married couple achieving goals and supporting each other. You two are awesome 😁🙏
That FORD Crown Vic is sweet....maybe most reliable used car out there. Love your videos. All the best........Mike from Regina Canada.
Congratulations and I just adore your dynamics between the both of you. The passion, the goods and bads. Wish you the best success for years to come
Thank you for sharing the update on your dealership. Yeah, you can have a bigger and better building for sure. Keep up the great work!
Well done to the Chevy dude crew
Keep up the info and awesome business experience
Ok, that's it. here in a few months were selling our home and buying in another state. But girlfriend also wants to replace her 2017 jeep renegade with something nicer. Probably a Jeep Rubicon or Gladiator. So if you want to take in a trade and find one for her, we will 100% be their. I love what you are wanting to do about giving back. God bless you and your wife. How open you have been about the business over the years is refreshing and makes me want to trust you. Plus, being a small business owner myself, I like to support others.
Enjoy watching your videos. You’re a likable person and come across across as genuine. Keep it up!!
Congratulations on 6months of business, that's success. Don't stretch yourself thin. It's the first nail to fail.
Congrats on the first 6 months! Interesting 57 cars sold with $1.05M in sales means your average sell price is $18,421 per car. How does this compare to the industry average?
That means he sells cars around that average price. He said revenue as well, NOT profit. Revenue - Expenses = Profit. He's still getting started and sounds like he's right there in the middle of the industry.
It means he sells older cars or ones with higher miles. Average industry average among franchise dealerships is substantially higher.
Good to hear things are going well for you guys. Can’t wait to see you eventually own a huge dealership.
I enjoyed seeing Chevy Dude on YAA channel. Good to get a perspective on an independent lot and I still have Dave B Sells Chevy for the franchise dealership life.
You guys are doing great job! And I love your show! Wish you would buy landers Chevy in Joplin Mo. And bring corvettes back to Mid America!
Sound's like your off to a great start, and I wish you many more great car finds and sells.
Congratulations Mike! 🎉👏
Congratulations on your success. 👍🏻👍🏻
Something you can sell outside your own geographic area is warranties. I hope you push that as a revenue stream. The regulars you see on TV are just call receivers in a call center who don't neceswsarily know about cars and repairs. You guys are in a unique position to have someone like that on staff who can wear perhaps a finance hat and warranty via phone. Congrats on 6 months.
Congratulations on the success!! Never change the sign!!!
Make sure you hire someone like you. Someone who’s excited like you and someone who doesn’t suck. If you lived in my state I would buy from you. Wish you a healthy and prosperous 2022 and beyond.
Congratulations! I am a fan and am rooting for your success.
Congratulations ! Keep up the good work ! 😎 Hello from Seattle and we enjoy your videos 😂
Best of luck in finding an honest and dedicated salesperson. In these current market conditions, a 20 cars a month person is approaching a 200k annual income because the gross profits are incredible. You do have an edge because a lot of salespeople do not like that grind of a franchised store(GM,Ford,Etc,) Just do your due diligence(credit,personal,criminal background) and don't rely on personal references(they are generally inflated)..I speak from over 20 years experience of hiring practices.Because of your experience in the business,your gut instinct will let you know when you get the right fit.Look up, Occam's Razor principle. Good Luck!
Love your channel, you and Dave B sells chevys are numero 1 in my book!!!
Great job ..your doing a great job i have been following you since the Chevrolet dealership ship..I will be buying a car later this year I might have to buy from you...your trusted in my book...
Congratulations on your first 6 months. By the way, Dave B sells Chevy gave you a shout out on his channel. Maybe you should return the recognition.
Nice crown vic 😎 best police package ever made outside of the og caprice.
Congratulations! Looking forward to your continued growth & success.
Great progress! Really want to see you have a Chevrolet dealership one day!
i can feel how much you are under stress and pressure. but just know that we are rooting for you.
I think 57 cars sounds like a lot! Great job and keep up the good work!
Wow, great news that you're growing! Congrats Mike! Also, Frank needs a raise! *LOL*
Back in February I bought a 2012 Chevy Avalanche LTZ. It had 46,380 miles on it. Put 902 miles since I bought it. Even with gas prices being what they are I can honestly say I have no regrets
You two are amazing. My marriage lasted 27 years then she bailed. Why you not going to sell anymore? U just going to be running the lot? Your a awesome salesman. You have been blessed. Bell well and praise the lord.
I think in this market of not being to find cars you guys are doing OK. It's sad when you drive by big box car lots and they are empty.
Congratulations you both are awesome
Congratulations from Franklin Tennessee. Wish you the best. I have a 2003 4Runner limited with 4wd. Perfect with 83k. One owner, me. I will keep it and put the title in my will. Godspeed and I know you will succeed.
Wish the best. You guys have a good platform and people will beat a path to your door.
When you were talking about NOT having sponsors, I was hoping you'd bust into a Raid Shadow Legends ad and then say "Just kidding!"
Wait, we didn't get to see Frank offer what the most important thing that he has learned is. Can that be the next "Chevy Dude Short" video? Love that channel and great work on these videos as always.
That’s a great # in this car market. Good for you guys!
Have Mike, aka Streetspeed717 as a sales person. Great content for both. And Congrats!
Congrats!!!!!!🎉🎈🍾🤑🤑🤑🤑
Congrats on the 6 months!
The struggle is real…. Good to see you looking at the data
too bad you're not local, I'd go to you for all my car needs
Where's the flowers around the sign
I like Eurton’s in Georgetown Indiana the best. Honest, Clean, not full of themselves, and have been around along time. I stick with what has a proven track record. Also Derby City Window Tint is the best in the business. Long track record of repeat customer’s. Best price and best product in the industry in my opinion. Not tools. Like some car dealers. Your market is Georgetown Indiana and you had a Lamborghini on your lot. Good luck with that in this economy.
Eurtons closed 3-4 years ago. 😭 lambo Is already sold. (1.2 million)
I still like Eurton’s better
Mecum has them for over 50% off apparently.
What about profit?
Continuing success!
Thank you
Mr and Mrs chevy dude you guys are doing really great,it takes time and money to really get things off and running and now your getting ready to hire an individual to help you sell cars I love your videos,good luck on your future endeavors!
7k miles
There are car lots in Wichita, Kansas using the same "buying a car doesn't have to suck" tag line. Are you connected to them?
BUYING A CAR DOESNT HAVE TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF YOU!!!!
It also helps that used cars are selling 20-30% above market value, due to the electronics shortage. I am constantly receiving mail, email and whatever else to buy my 3 year old truck......unfortunately if i was to sell it....i would need a new vehicle......which I'd be paying a 20-30% higher mark up on. The consumer is the very ladt person to ever benefit. We usually are the ones getting screwed the most. Consumers are all porn stars.....without the pay......bend over and take it like a champ. Yes my banter is a little cynical.....but you get the point. I really do like this channel and hope you achieve your goals. Every person deserves a chance at success.....but it doesn't co.e for free.....most of the time.
If their offend by the word “ suck”
You should make a DGeneration X reference
Hey is it a good deal to get a 2022 kia sorrento lx for 39 thousand out the door ? With the vehicle shortage? Could you do a video on the inventory /vehicle shortage ?
You should employee someone to find cars for you to buy if that would be a good thing save you time
Interesting to see. Is the dealership content for videos, or the videos a platform to sell cars?
The dealership also has its own page of cars for sale.
I see the bump. What’s your edc? Btw love the videos.
Happy father's day. Mike
Love Frank Trolling around 5:00
awesome show.
Started a business which is highly dependent on interest rates and a good economy during the west economy in 49 years and rising rates. What could go wrong. Everyone tried to tell you what terrible timing this was 6 months ago. Economy will only get worse in next 12 months. Hate to say it but you will be lucky to survive. Just bad timing.
Thats a great sign!
You can cut that patch off sheet rock out and re do it
Your an inspiration to many !:)
Hey man I work for triple a and I meet a lot of older folks selling their cars in a really good price like an 18 z4 for 31k but I can’t afford it lol
With 7k miles
Can you do a video on that crown Vic
I took a police car in on trade.

It looks like you are learning more about selling cars/dealership, as customers are learning more about buying cars.
Mike you're a money making machine.
I need to buy a car how do I reach you.
WOW very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
@Chevy Dude, where can I buy GAP? I have Geico and they do not offer it, can I buy it from y’all?
I believe “ auto advocates “ sell it near cost - check out their channel-
Mike has been a guest on their channel
You can only buy gap at the time of sale at your dealership or from your own insurance company. My advice is buy at dealership. If you ever make a claim your insurance gap will be considered a claim. If you are making a claim on your total loss that means you are making 2 claims. The dealership sponsored gap doesn’t count as a claim on your insurance profile.
Why is the thumbnail a Lamborghini ,and dollar signs? And why is the Lambo's doors open in the video.And why do you run out the door at the start of the video like you are really busy and short of time..Then ,take time to set up cameras ,and cutaways? Just give us good content about your business,sales,cars ,etc
Wow…….
@@cerny4444 Just curious. I loved the video a couple weeks ago about the cost of doing business. I feel that a lot of RUclipsrs try to make 3 videos a week ,and the content suffers. Make one good video a week or maybe two. I just went back through about 6 months of videos. A vast majority of them have views that are less than 10% of subscribers. And that includes unsubscribed watchers that we know are high percentage of the views..Not trolling on CD ,just like to watch quality content..And it's just not CD ,they are all doing it
@@woodrowbunopaddle I get it. 😉👍
Hopefully you've learned the difference between Pininfarina and Performante.....
2 events caused the used car business to get tough for independents. The first was cash for clunkers and the second was hurricane Katrina. Both caused a used car shortage and new car dealers discovered that the cars they were wholesale to us were very profitable. You're selling less than 10 cars month. With today's expenses it's almost impossible to make money. I'm sorry to tell you that. Your in a tough business because it's almost impossible to get nice cars at reasonable prices.
Where is frank commission 🤔 😳 👀 😐
Mike, while I understand your point of “selling out” for sponsorships I think you’re missing a huge opportunity. Many RUclipsrs double their adsense revenue simply by using this approach. There are many great partnerships that would benefit your follower base without being able to support you directly through a vehicle purchase. For example, you mentioned the reconditioning process. Why not make a video highlighting that and get sponsored by the products used along the way? There are many other examples where you’re not selling out, rather providing value, content, and reaping the financial reward. Best of luck over the next six months!
Pain from growth is a good pain.
you guys are hilarious Mike can you purchase cars from Bachman?
Yes I can Purchase from any dealer I chose. Including Bachman.
@@ChevyDude
Sure you can at retail. Like everyone else!!
I came here for the Lamborghini Countach. But I don’t have another 8 minutes to spare. Is there a Lamborghini or not?
Damn, Mike is only 45? Ngl, I thought he was like 50 or something
Why can’t i comment on your other channel?
Go Frank’s!
Honda raceeeee
I was thinking she killed frank 😂
Frank!
What is your net worth?
Come on guys
Where is frank ????
He needs a trophy wife.
The very first words out of your mouth were: "We've sold 1.05 million and we want to up that to 3 million". You are on the wrong track
my friend. If you concentrate on the top line instead of the bottom line you will fail within 12 months.
Remember this: "It's not how much you make, it's how much you don't spend".
Good luck. Hope to see you still here in 12 months. Take heed to what your old boss told you. Words of wisdom.....
A dog bought a car? 🤣🤣🤣
so if thier car turns out to be a piece of shit can they take thier name off the wall
First comment
Go back to Chevy not looking good
