ATLANTA – Manheim senior vice president of customer management Nick Peluso announced today that the company has created designated lanes and run times for GM franchised dealers at its U.S. operating locations beginning July 13. |
|
|
|
The New GM Dealer Lane program will be available at all current GM/GMAC Manheim sales locations, and at other Manheim locations in the near future. The New GM Dealer Lane sales, which will be featured on Manheim Simulcast, will take place immediately after GMAC open sales. |
|
|
|
“The New GM Dealer Lane program provides our GM dealer customers with a key opportunity to feature and sell their high-quality vehicles in dedicated lanes at specific times,” said Peluso. “We’ve always enjoyed a great relationship with our GM franchised dealers and making it easier for them to buy and sell GM vehicles was a driving force for the new program.” |
|
Along with the dedicated lane, these sales offer a number of other advantages for GM dealers, including: |
|
|
|
|
|
A flat sale fee
|
|
The option of an electronic condition report, if the vehicle is delivered 48 hours before the sale
|
|
Representation on the sales block by a Manheim employee at no charge |
|
|
|
To participate in these sales, franchised GM dealers must price their vehicles within 10 percent of their Manheim Market Report values and must maintain a high sales conversion rate. |
|
