Car Dealership Guy (CDG) News

@the_wolfdaddy in football terms: you’re incentivized to throw the ball, but not score touch downs

@dealership Can someone explain to an outsider what the hell that means?

Heard from the owner of a top dealer group that Stellantis is “switching dealer incentives in a big way this month.” They’re reportedly switching certain dealer incentives from “selling vehicles” to “accepting vehicles” from Stellantis. 🤔

Very rich auto market report I received this morning: 2024 Market Outlook for Retail Automotive. (This is the kind of in-depth, niche content I will be sharing on my @dealership account) Link to the full report in comments below. It was free but required an email to download.

Reports of Jeep Grand Cherokee & Wrangler 4XE’s breaking down on dealer lots. Units were delivered this month to dealers. Batteries are not saying charged. If you know any Stellantis dealers, ask them if they’re experiencing this issue and let me know.

Dealers: It’s Saturday morning. You’re meeting with your management team. The goal? Discuss everything related to used cars: current market conditions and preparing for the year ahead. What are the *most* burning questions you’re bringing up right now?

Best line this week: “Robert Hollenshead is like the BlackRock of Used Car Wholesaling — all roads lead back to him”

Who remembers??

@Bryan__Robinson @GuyDealership 100%. Planning on it

@GuyDealership @dealership It would be cool if you changed the yellow background on your logo to another color for the @dealership handle so those that follow both can easily tell which account it is. Keep the cartoon face just change the background. Just a thought.

If you're in the car business, follow my second account @Dealership I will be posting more niche, industry-specific content that isn't relevant to the masses but highly relevant if you're in the car biz.

@M0nkeybus1nesss @GuyDealership 😂

@GuyDealership @dealership I’m just a mass to you 😔

Coming soon…
