just found the Forum
Little background on me, I grew up around the car business at an Acura store that my dad managed. As soon as I got out of school i went straight to selling cars and have been in the business ever since. My whole family is in the business at different stores. I have worked for Nissan,Acura, Hyundai,Toyota,Honda and currently Kia.
I have wondered about having a forum like this to visit and chat with other people that are in the trenches, i am glad to have found it. Last edited by shwngo; 10-14-2012 at 09:45 AM. |

shwngo - Thanks for creating an Introduction thread and Welcome to DealershipForum.
It's always great to have a new member and especially one who contributes to the forum with new posts and threads. The forum is still pretty small but there are a lot of great people here who are willing to share their knowledge and perspective. Concerning KIA, I have a lot of respect for that franchise and their product line. Does your store have a problem getting sufficient new car inventory that most KIA stores report? |

Yes we do. We are only limited in new car sales by inventory, same story as Hyundai if we could get more we would sell more, i have been at this Kia store since March and we have never had more than 40 cars on ground at any given point.
I suspect the west coast is getting the majority of the new car inventory. |

Based on what I've heard all KIA dealers across the country are struggling to get enough product and some of our members here have indicated that a lot of new product gets diverted to dealers who are opening new locations. |

This month is a prime example. We normally sell 20-25 souls. We are only getting 8 this month. Our numbers will be off no matter how good of a job we do. It also seems Kia is forcing us to add accessories to our new cars now too. A percentage of inventory must have X Dollars in accessories added to it to meet their expectations.
