1980 Mgb Limited Edition - Perfect Vehicle With Original Factory Paint - Awesome on 2040-cars

The Auto Store of Stuart maintains a business philosophy unlike any other licensed automobile dealership and this philosophy is based on the owner’s 40 years of successful experience in the industry. It is really quite simple but, the truth is, it can only be followed by a dealership that is very small and very unique. That leaves out about 90% of all the dealerships in the country but for you, the consumer, that doesn’t matter.

Our in-stock inventory is extremely small and we are proud of that. Most dealerships boast about their 100’s or 1,000’s of cars in stock at any given moment … at The Auto Store we never have more than 5. So what does this mean for you and how is this beneficial from your viewpoint?

Each vehicle we sell is hand-selected and must meet our most rigid of standards. We maintain an absolute rule that no car can remain in inventory for more than 14 days. The majority of our sales come from prior customers who “order” their used vehicle to their exact specifications and we then find the right car for them. While searching for these vehicles, we come across a very select few cars that meet our criteria and are then purchased for our own inventory.

The average, well-run automobile dealership will hold a used vehicle in inventory for a maximum of 60 days. To let them sit any longer would be fool hardy and to move them quicker is too cumbersome because of the dealership’s size. During that 60 day period the dealership must pay interest on the vehicle’s acquisition cost, keep it clean, continually advertise the unit and then pay a salesperson a commission to sell it. All of these extra dollars must be recovered, along with a reasonable profit, from the ultimate purchaser of the car. By now you are probably starting to realize why our plan is different and saves the customer a tremendous amount of money. Let’s review:

1. We sell only vehicles that are hand selected by the dealership’s owner.
2. Due to the low inventory level at The Auto Store, our inventory does not have to be financed resulting in no interest costs to recover.
3. By selling every vehicle within a 14 day period, our capital is always available for new purchases with no need to finance.
4. Each vehicle is advertised once rather than for 60 days at a very high cost.
5. The vehicle is sold by the owner thereby incurring no commission expense.

And, the most important reason for our low prices, we do not have a large, fancy highway location with huge buildings and storage lots. The Auto Store of Stuart, due to their low inventory levels, can operate from a small office warehouse that is not located directly on a busy highway.

Our criteria for buying vehicles is very simple:
