Speaker:  Paul Trovas, Jetset Automotive

After Paul finished school, his father told him to sell cars until he could find a job. That was twenty years ago!
 
Jetset specializes in highline & performance vehicles.
The company was founded in December, 2019 and is filling a need for pre-owned luxury and performance vehicles in Iowa.
 
They did nearly $5 Million in sales in 2020 after shutting down for a couple of months due to the pandemic. The majority of their business is for customers in warm weather climates. For 2021, the goal for Jetset is to expand locally throughout the state. Right now 80% of cars purchased leave the state.
 
Customers who purchase from Jestset receive a more personalized experience, as Jetset takes the work out of car buying by searching for the perfect car for the customer. Similar to other other dealerships, they offer financing to customers.
 
They have a certified technician on staff who specializes in European vehicles.
 
The brands they sell include: BMW, Tesla, Porsche, Landrover, Audi, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Jaguar, & Maseratti.
 
Different from European Motors because EM's sells cars that are slightly older and have slightly more miles. 
 
They typically keep between 40 - 50 cars in inventory.
 
When they are looking at a potential car to add to their inventory, they first look over the car - taking note on whether the car has options and characteristics that make it a rare find. Then they research the history of the car and request vehicle condition reports.
 
Not currently open to public, seeing customers by appointment only.

THE FOUR WAY TEST

Is it the TRUTH?

Is it FAIR to all concerned?

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
