Dealership Life - SOLD at Schumacher Chevrolet of Livingston

[@dave1956]

I really enjoy your videos. I am not a huge Chevrolet guy, but your enthusiasm is contagious! I really don’t enjoy buying vehicles, but a sales person like you could change my mind. Too bad I live 1,000 miles away.

[@edwoll]

I live 2 miles from the highest volume Chevrolet dealership in the country. However, I am very impressed how your little dealership rocks. Despite the fact that you are part of a large auto group as wel as Classic is. It's a shame that the industry never really embraced the customer experience early on like yours has. They are few and far between in the U.S.

Good luck on the 'burb sale....Agree 100% about the Impala being underrated. Ashame that Chevrolet dropped that model, way better looking than a Malibu.

[@richardrybarczyk1143]

I always liked the Impala, if they wouldn’t have discontinued that model I’d in all likelihood be driving one now. The swing to SUV’s isn’t for everyone. I thought the large sedan market would never dry up like it did. Those SUV’s sit up too high for is “old folks”, we need something comfortable that’s easier to get into. I grew up in the 1960’s and the Impala was a great car back then, especially the Impala SS. Sure would love to have one now. Have a good one.

[@lidsman2221]

I like when you have deals and talk about the details. It has been a while since things have been so slow. Thanks for the video.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

[@33RPMVinyl]

I visited a Hyundai dealership this week. If I wanted a hybrid they were taking orders for 2024. If I wanted an EV they were taking orders for 2025. I told them I might as well order a Corvette. They also told me that the factory would not deliver them vehicles for stock. They only receive vehicles that were sold. If a deal falls through after delivery they must return the car to the factory, they are not allow to keep it. Crazy.

[@hb9636]

It's too bad they stopped producing the Impala any more .loved all your videos Dave. And yes I loved the new design Colorado .soo much nicer than the old ones.

Normal avg is around the mid 25 - 26 mpg love to get this in the new Colorado with lowered suspension and a realistic upper 20's avg.

[@brucekalter4206]

I agree with you that the last gen Impala was/is a great car. I have a 2014 Buick La Crosse which is basically the same car & platform (shared w/ Cadillac XTS too) as the latest Impala, which ran longer. The car is so comfortable, roomy & gas efficient as well as reliable. When my 2014 La Crosse's life is up, I would consider the newest low-mileage Impala I could find (2020 I think was the last year, maybe 2021). I've thought it was a shame that Chevy kept the Malibu but axed the Impala. The Impala was the superior car in every way, & they could have sold it for about the same $$$ as the Malibu & made money... & it would have been more competitive against the Malibu's competition (Accord, Camry, Sonata). Dave: keep up the great work!

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

The Colorado looks good. Getting rid of the Extended Cab is a bad idea especially for fleet sales such as small businesses. The Impala was the third most underrated car in the GM family. First it was the 2014-2017 SS, second was the Volt hybrid, then the Impala. The SS was much better than the Charger RT/ SRT and you didn't hear about problems with the Volt/Cadillac ELR compared to the Toyota and Lexus hybrids.

The new Colorado sure does look nice, but one thing to point out is the 4runner with the 4.0 v6 is going away after the 2023 model year. One of the best engines out there. I own a Tacoma and it’s a good truck, but that transmission is awful. Are you wanting to use it as a family car or do you need the truck features and a bed? They are two different vehicles.

A buddy back in high school had a manual with the taco and he loves it, anyways that Tacoma is a solid truck…👍👍👍

I just bought a 22 black wt colorado with the nicer rims with v6 on july 4 just waiting for it to show up at the dealer .Tobe honest as much as the 23 is a up grade looks wise not crazy about having a turbocharged engine it’s just more crap to potentially go wrong down the road if the turbo goes out .I had a friend with a 2008 mazda speed 3 that had its 2and turbo go out and it destroyed the engine
