What car do you currently drive privately and what is your dream car?
I drive a Ford C-Max. By the way, I bought it in Austria because you had an electric tailgate, but strangely enough, not in Germany. The dream car is the Mercedes S-Class – pure perfection!
What was the most expensive used car you have ever bought?Porsche 911. I even had several in the 1980s - I always sold them on quite quickly.
When would you rather be a used car dealer: today or 50 years ago?
(thinks briefly; editor's note) 50 years ago. Growth was gigantic in the 1970s!
What was your personal sales record as a car salesman?
That was back then at VW and Audi, when the two of us sold 400 cars a year, new and used. So about 200 per person.
Your current market forecast?
The time is not normal, what we are experiencing is truly unique. Now also the war in Ukraine! I fear that there will be very difficult times ahead in the short term. The war has a more lasting effect than we can imagine. In addition to the supply chain problem, I fear a shortage of skilled workers because good salespeople move to other industries if they get less commission.
