Reminds me of a customer we had. When you would answer the phone, he would never say "this is so and so". He'd just shout a question. He called once and shouted "What does the red button do?" my partner Mike yells back. " I don't know...but for Gods sake....don't push it!"

Chief among them certainly has to be demographics as well as geographical location. ( Think colleges and beach/vacation locales.) The further north of the Mason-Dixon line, the shorter the scooter season.That goes for topography as well. Mountains and hills do not play well with 49cc scooters.As easy as it is to get a motorcycle learners permit,it is still a major hurdle to selling scooters that are able to hold their own in urban traffic. Again, in my six years of selling scooters, I can count on two hands the number of 49cc scooters we sold. What with the gas crunch, 2008 and 2009 were banner years for scooter dealers. However once gas prices eased we saw a downward slide in yearly scooter sales. So I agree wholeheartedly with you that at least here in the northern states, one cannot live by scooters alone. I was able to make a decent living by maintain an inventory level of between 30K and 40K. Once we started to dabble in bigger powersports I was loathe to follow my predecessors business plan of securing floorplanning. I witnessed their financial death spiral during the economic downturn/crash of 2009. My main mantra became "turns, turns, and turns" So at least in my experience, I'd have to either acquire a wealth of mechanical ability or find another partner with said experience. So you either have to go big or go home. And at 63, in the immortal words of Danny Glover, " I'm getting to old for this shiat"BTW....if you want to see a textbook example of how to build and run a successful dealership, check out Tim at Carolina Fun Machines. www.carolinafunmachines.com/Pages/default.aspx |
