MANHEIM DAYTONA BEACH SHOWS ITS “POWER”
ATLANTA - October 15, 2009 - Manheim Daytona Beach has opened a new 45,000-sq. ft. powersports facility and gained HSBC as a consignor, becoming a full-service powersports facility.
"We are offering more than 400 PowerSports units - motorcycles, jet skis and allterrain vehicles - each month from HSBC and Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS), so our dealers can plan their buying schedule knowing Manheim Daytona Beach can meet all of their PowerSports needs," said Eric Wagner, general manager. "It's exciting because our new facility and dedicated staff enables us to run and process these sales efficiently for our buyers and sellers."
Manheim Daytona Beach hosts PowerSports sales the second Tuesday of every month at 9 a.m. in its new powersports facility, which also houses reconditioning and mechanical shops. Each month, both HSBC and HDFS run an average of 200-plus units,
with the majority of those units being motorcycles. Manheim Daytona Beach has been selling close to 80 percent of the units offered at every sale.
For nearly a year, Manheim Daytona Beach has been ringing up strong sales for HDFS. As Eric said, "Our employees' dedication to a strong performance for Harley- Davidson Financial Services gave our National Motorcycle and PowerSports Manager Kim Miskotten a great opportunity to approach the HSBC account and ask if we could
assist with its PowerSports remarketing needs in Florida."
