Hey there. Welcome to the WardsAuto Dealer 5 for Friday, Sept. 30. To start your day, we've put together items from WardsAuto.com and across the Internet. So let's go:
1.
A former dealership employee who now works for VW has an interesting assignment: Keep the 78-year-old Beetle young.
You gotta love those upcoming self-driving cars, right? Well, tell that to surveyed Americans who are pretty clueless about autonomous vehicles and just fine with today’s cars, thanks.
Did you know 68% of KBB.com shoppers plan to purchase within two months, and that KBB.com is the most influential site for shoppers choosing a dealership? It’s no wonder successful dealers list with Kelley Blue Book. Get Results Out of the Blue.
3.
Deep in the heart of Texas (the state fair anyway), Ram debuts its Lone Star Edition pickup truck. We’re waiting for the Aloha State version.
A former car salesman, who says he learned more at the dealership than he did in business school, shares his knowledge on how to connect with vehicle shoppers.
Behind the Wards 10 Best UX winners: Both a Third World despot and a restless 2-year-old might agree on the pleasures of being chauffeured around in a BMW 7-Series sedan.
That’s our WardsAuto Dealer 5 for today. We’ll be back soon with more high fives. Something else: Check out our F&I Resource Center sponsored by Ally. You'll find great info to boost profits in a vital department. And to reach the editor for whatever reason (i.e. comments, complaints, questions, directions to Two Egg, FL; over easy), contact Steve Finlay at [email protected] . OK, finally... Forward this alert to dealership colleagues. The more in-the-know people at your place, the better it is. Over and out. Now for the legal stuff...
