Alliance Automotive Group UK & Ireland’s Post

I hope this gets to the executive team Bill Estes Automotive. My wife and girls were just involved in a car accident last week, our vehicle was totaled and we have been looking for another Explorer that is suitable to our needs. Guess what? We found one at Bill Estes Brownsburg. My wife spoke to @steven angle and @matt belano (Sales Mgr) yesterday in person and on the phone, they just got a trade in that fits our needs God is Good and exact match. They both told us that the 2017 Ford Explorer vehicle is currently getting cleaned up, they need to get pictures taken and uploaded, so no need to come in right now but they will call us immediately once it is ready!! Awesome news.. Well, apparently someone else was able to come in, look at it, make a deal, and finance it yesterday. So to say we are upset and the unsettling experience is an understatement. We have purchased numerous vehicles in Brownsburg, but I guess our loyalty and recommendations do not matter anymore, I guess customer commitment and satisfaction are no longer at Bill Estes Brownsburg. #customerexperience #billestes #customersatisfaction #unsettling #ford #fordexplorer #sales #tradein #salesmanager #dealerships #estes #automotive #brownsburg

The pull market is dead! Long live the push! Having spent time in Portbury today with BCA UK and The Bristol Port Company there is plenty of evidence that supports the opening statement🤔 Yes, we are approaching March so high inventory levels are to be expected, but it was noticeable that this is no usual Q1 😬 Our industry is now firmly back in to 2019 stock levels with more cars than customers… This combined with the ongoing demands to meet legistive requirements is going to prove very challenging and be the cause of many a revised planning schedule 🫣 However, as we approach the end of February there is a quiet confidence around the Suzuki GB sales team and dealer network 👍 January we grew with a strong focus of stock on the ground, supporting a fast start mentality and setting the stall out to achieve. February has just seen the finish of our Big Better SUV event! This was a combined effort across sales and marketing at national and local level. The activity and results have really fired up the teams with momentum building. We now have the most important month of Q1 approaching… The retail activity has given us a solid platform but the fleet team have also been busy supporting the industry via various end user channels to keep the focus on the consolidated team effort 👊 We will now push forward with one word ringing in our ears… “Tenacity” With tenacity we can maintain our great start and continue towards success🚀🚀 #sales #partnership #success #team #network #gogetters

I've been sharing insights on Carvana and Carmax recently, highlighting their operational excellence using our Inventory Report Card™. Taking a closer look at Lithia, with over 100k vehicles in stock, nearly 22% aged over 90 days, there are concerns. The imbalance in inventory is noticeable - with 38% of units priced $45k and up compared to 4.76% and 6% at Carvana and Carmax respectively (yes I know they have new inventory). Despite aggressive selling tactics, their PTM (Price To Market) is nearly $5k under the max advertised price. What do you all think? Is 22% aging acceptable for a large public retailer? Am I missing another optic? What's your stores IRC? Send me your website for a free analysis. #agingkills #justsell #AutomotiveIndustry #autodealers. #OneAuctionView #InventoryReportCard #IRC

Chart-Toppers on Wheels - The World's Best-Selling Vehicles Continuing our series of posts showcasing the best selling cars in history Plymouth Fury - Over 3.5 Million sold The Plymouth Fury, a prominent name in American automotive history, has a rich legacy that spans several decades. Introduced in 1956, the Fury initially stood out as a high-performance version of the Plymouth Belvedere. Over the years, it underwent stylistic changes, embodying the iconic "Forward Look" in the late 1950s and adapting to shifting market trends in subsequent decades. The Fury gained popularity for its combination of performance, style, and reliability, becoming a flagship model for Plymouth. In terms of sales, the Plymouth Fury experienced significant success, particularly during the 1960s and 1970s. During these decades, full-sized sedans were in high demand, and the Fury was a favored choice among American car buyers. However, with changing consumer preferences, fuel efficiency concerns, and industry-wide shifts toward smaller vehicles, the Fury underwent downsizing in the 1980s. Eventually, production of the Plymouth Fury ceased in the late 1980s, marking the end of an era. Over 3.5 million Plymouth Fury units were sold over its production lifespan, contributing to its status as a memorable and influential part of American automotive history.
