September News

August was a tough month with the debt ceiling crisis threatening to cast the USA into default on our $14Trillion dollar debt, the resultant WILD swings in the stock market and fresh threats of a new recession.  However, Wilson Hyundai and Wilson Kia on Lakeland persevered and had a great month with over 135 new and used vehicles sold.  Thank You.

Our used car department has really perked up with all these nice, clean, low-mileage trade-ins we are recieving due to the "hot" nature of our Kia and Hyundai product lines.  Our full used car inventory with prices, 20+ photos and more can be seen at http://www.wilsonautogroup.com/

We are excited as we head into September with a fresh shipment of 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV's that we have specially priced at only $19,995.  That is unheard of in the car business....SUV's for under $20,000!  And these are not left-over 2011's...brand new 2012's, automatic, air, tilt and cruise, power windows, power door locks...even am/fm/CD/Satellite stereo system and our famous 10yr/100,000 mile warranty....all for just $19,995...and we have several AT THAT PRICE.  Not one stripped model.  Several, fully equipped and all on sale in September at the advertised price of just $19,995!

Wilson Kia is also having a sale on SUV's...our famous, MADE IN THE USA, 2012 Kia Sorento with 7 PASSENGER SEATING (3rd row of seats), automatic, air, power windows and door locks, tilt and cruise plus a great stereo system with CD/am/FM and Satellite radio.  All for the low price of just $23,995.  Try finding a 7 passenger SUV for that price.   And we have 38 Kia Sorento's to choose from.

Thank you for all your support.  Please email me if I may be of service at doug@wilsonautos.com

July Newspost

June ends and so does the first half of 2011.  Hard to believe this year is half over already!

Wilson Hyundai's YTD sales are up over 43% over 2010 while Wilson Kia's sales are up a whopping 113%.  Our product lineup of fuel efficient small to mid-size sedans and SUV's are just what the market wants right now.

We are so thankful for all our faithful friends,loyal customers and our enthusiastic employees who have made this year our best ever in the automobile business.  It is fun to be a Kia and Hyundai dealer right now and we have something going for us that is very precious....MOMENTUM and a CAN DO attitude.

June 2009 was a dark time in our country as we were in the throes of a serious recession and both GM and Chrysler were in bankruptcy.  Locally, my Dodge franchise was terminated at a very precarious time after over 20 years as a Dodge dealer...being the #1 Dodge dealer in the entire state of MS for 15 of those years.
Now, with the advantage of hindsight, all I can say is THANK YOU.   What some meant as evil towards our company has turned into the best thing that has ever happened and we are so grateful.   In the bible, Romans 8:28 says "God works all things out for good for those that love Him and are called according to His purposes"   I think I could be a walking/talking real life example of that.   We are so blessed and thankful.

Hyundai is building a great car.  The Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Elantra, Santa Fe and Tucson are all hot sellers.  The all new 2012 Hyundai Accent is just now arriving (40 mpg!!) and we have them introductory special priced starting at just $14,995....with AC and Power windows!  The all new luxury flagship, Equus, is selling well...I never thought we'd be selling $60,000 sedans at full price with no incentives but this car offers so much value at $30,000 less than a comparably equipped Lexus LS460, it is apparent to smart shoppers.

On the Kia side, the USA built (in the deep south in a brand new, technologically advanced 2200 acre plant in West Point, GA) 2012 Kia Sorento is selling well.  Now with an improved gasoline direct injection engine that produces "BEST IN CLASS" fuel economy, we are certain that it will do even better in its second year.  We have over 40 brand new Sorento's to choose from and a July special running for just $249 a month.

Kia Soul and Kia Forte both have been stellar sellers as well.  With Kia Motors Finance aggressive lending and our good relationship with them, we are getting "less than perfect" credit buyers financed with a nationwide company at great rates without all the subprime hassles.  Apply online at www.mscarloans.com or our website www.wilsonkia.com  .   We would love to help you.

Thank you again to all our customers, friends, employees and citizens for your support.  Whether you bought a car from us or just said a nice word about us to someone in the market; we appreciate you.

Please call on me personally if I may be of service in your transportation needs.

Sincerely,
Doug Wilson

April News

Wilson Auto Group sales were up 46% over February 2011 and up 57% over March 2010.  YTD our Hyundai sales are up 27% over last years first quarter and our Kia sales are up a whopping 208%!

I just got back from Las Vegas and the Hyundai National Dealer meeting.  What an inspired and excited dealer body!  I believe 90% of all Hyundai dealers were there and the atmosphere with Hyundai's new products, fuel efficiency leadership and sales momentum was electrifying!

Our newest baby, Accent, will be for sale in a few weeks along with the new Sonata Hybrid, giving Wilson Hyundai two more 40 MPG vehicles.  Veloster will follow this summer and it is quite impressive in person...another 40 MPG hit coming soon.

April is destined to be a great month as gas prices have car shoppers thinking small to med-sized cars/SUV's which is the heart of our product line-up.  New Sonata's start at just $19,990 and new Tucson's are only $19,995....under $20,000 for a fuel efficient, roomy, safe and reliable Crossover SUV!  AND...Wilson Hyundai has our best-ever selection of Tucson's.

Kia continues to have tremendous sales momentum and will set records in April with our largest selection ever of the hot-selling Kia Sorento SUV.  Produced here in the deep south in West Point, Georgia, Sorento gets 29 MPG and is priced under $20,000!   With the room, 5 star safety ratings, 10yr/100,000 mile warranty and great styling....Kia Sorento can't be beat and has been named by a promient consumer magazine as its "TOP FAMILY SUV"....ahead of Honda CRV, Toyota and Nissan.

Wilson Kia has a huge selection and they are all sale priced in April to "turn and earn".  In addition, the fuel efficient Kia Forte is sale priced in April for ZERO down and just $269 per month.  We are encouraging customers to take advantage of a return to the market of major sub-prime/near-prime lenders.  With Forte's $1000 rebate used as down payment, we expect to put a record number of Forte drivers behind the wheel with low payments of just $269 per month.

In addition, the all-new Kia Optima is arriving in greater quantities and we are sellling them literally as they arrive off the truck.

Call us at (601)914-4200 or browse our entire inventory at http://www.wilsonautos.com/

We expect a record April as we drive towards a fantastic year at Wilson Auto Group.  Consumer confidence has returned, gas prices have given lots a new reason to trade and lenders have loosened up...how could this not be a great month?
