Make it nine in a row for Karl Chevrolet.

The Iowa dealer and Auto Remarketing’s 2011 CPO Dealer of the Year has now won the National Sales Leader award from the General Motors certified pre-owned program for the ninth straight year after leading the pack with 1,791 CPO sales in 2014.

“Reaching this level of sales is a remarkable achievement that we share with the more than 3,000 Certified Pre-Owned dealers around the country,” said Doug Kaczmarski, manager of certified pre-owned vehicle operations at General Motors. “Karl Chevrolet’s achievement of nine straight years of sales leadership is unmatched, and a direct result of the dealership’s commitment to consistently providing customers an exceptional experience.”

Karl Chevrolet owner Carl Moyer said: “Being No. 1 for nine straight years shows our commitment at Karl Chevrolet to the GM certified pre-owned program.

“We are extra critical of anything that may come up in the inspection process to ensure our certified pre-owned cars are as dependable as a new car and meet all of the GM standards before it’s sold,” he continued.

Moyer added: “Buying a GM certified pre-owned car at Karl Chevrolet means you never have to worry.” 

Top strategies at Karl Chevrolet

As part of Auto Remarketing's annual “Best CPO Dealers in the United States” special edition this winter, we asked top GM dealers to share some of the sourcing strategies they use to make sure there’s enough CPO-worthy inventory at their stores.

“We place emphasize on getting a vehicle traded for at the door. Our objective is to provide our customer with the highest trade value possible while they are here at the dealership,” Moyer said in that feature.  

“As your dealer for life, we also see added value in the quality of a car that was purchased here, serviced here and traded for at Karl Chevrolet,” Moyer said. “We do outsource vehicles like any other dealer, but if there’s an opportunity to get that same vehicle from a customer, we put every effort into getting that done.”
