@CarBusinessMan I agree- the pressure needs to be put on the 3rd party listing sites now.

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@CarBusinessMan We will see if they are able to pull another rabbit out of their hat. They always seem to rebound after bad press.

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@CarBusinessMan Going to fall more than 25%. More like 50%

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@GuyDealership Curious how Vauto would have this data. Wouldn’t vinsolutions be a better measure.

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@BenHadley @carsales_guy That’s the worst sales pitch we get. Along with I was a dealer for xxx years. It changes every day/month/year. Just because you were in retail at some point means absolutely nothing.

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@carsales_guy Vendors are the worst. I spend my day ducking their calls I miss valuable customer calls. It’s awful.

@GuyDealership Chambers and Taylor

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@GuyDealership Meanwhile yesterday the auction prices on our inexpensive trade ins $10k and under were very soft. Most no sales I have had in months.

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@GuyDealership I agree- Chambers would be great. Jim Moran would be another. The ultimate get would of course be terry taylor. David Smith from sonic.

@CarBusinessMan The automotive trainer business absolutely amazes me.

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@GuyDealership It really depends on the store. They definitely have some duds in their portfolio. But they also have some MONSTERS.

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@GuyDealership This is great!

@Ethcars1 @GuyDealership Boston market

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@GuyDealership Very well done. Great chatting with you. Always here for any insights you may need.

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@GuyDealership This is pretty simple. Doc fees and any additional fees should be disclosed on 3rd party sites. On the used side some dealers are charging for recon as well(common in Florida).

@Yogacars @GuyDealership Large Indy. We have built 2 software solutions in house and have integrations with DT DMS. I have some of this logistics software already built out. I would love to build a start to finish enterprise solution and get rid of DMS/CRM etc.

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@GuyDealership Do you have a customer pay repair business?

[Michael Kelley @KelleyMike]

@GuyDealership Do you charge a reduced internal labor amount for recon as opposed to customer pay?
