Summer is on the horizon, and Marion County car dealers
say it's the time vehicle sales tend to increase. Tom
DeVore of DeVore Motors in Knoxville says they look
forward to summertime when it comes to increasing sales,
and adds both their sales and service are growing in part
because of other dealerships outside of the county closing
due to national cutbacks from GM and Chrysler. Craig Ford
of Pella Motors in Pella says sales tend to spike in the
warmer months, and adds car companies are adding
attractive incentives for customers to boost sales. Chuck
Vander Wal of Ulrich Ford in Pella says they've seen a
recent increase in sales, and adds sales will also
increase when people get into normal buying patterns as
the economy improves nationally.
