One Kia dealer, Billy Fuccillo, has turned a Saturn dealer near Syracuse, NY into a $2.8 million super Kia dealership equipped with such indulgences as granite-lined bathrooms. Fuccillo already owns the top-selling Kia dealership in the US, and he says his new store, in a more prominent location, will fare even better. He plans to sell more than 3,000 vehicles per year and as many as 500 this month. As part of his opening marketing push, Fuccillo will give away five Kias and four Hyundais to one person. He’s going to deliver all nine vehicles via car-hauler to the individual’s home. That’s a bit crazy, but converting Saturn dealerships to Kia stores seems to be anything but.
It’d be the weirdest thing ever to win exactly nine entry level cars.
I’d hate to pay the taxes on that delivery.
what if billy pays the taxes for them?
+1
:lol: Exactly what I was thinking.
I guess you could always start your own Kia dealership.
Porsche dealer: And what kind of a trade in did you say you had for your new GT3?
me: just nine brand new Korean cars.
I’d keep one and sell 8 to buy something I actually want to drive.
^^“Just deliver them directly to the Porsche dealer” lol
This is a great day for Korea!
Billy is an odd guy. Great marketing dude but very odd.
I think his marketing sucks… but I guess I’m not his target audience.
Demo derby car supply for the next 9 years.
X…
Why would they think that anyone would even WANT 9 vehicles? Are they expecting the winner to sell them or give them away? :gotme:
(besides this)
why not have 9 winners?
From what I hear Billy Fucillo is a made up name and a marketing gimmick
Not the case
I thought Billy Fucillo was his real name, he’s just gone by fake names before to suit his target demographic. I believe in the Southwest he’s Billy Fernandez.
lets see proof. that would be amazing. lol
there was also a yahoo question about it that was deleted, and a few other pages that linked Fucillo to Fernandez.
To be honest, I had never heard that before Joe just mentioned it.
here’s another
