Fuel efficient imports, popular RVs keep Reliable Imports going strong
Craig Reiserer, managing partner of Reliable Imports and RV, is an optimistic person. "I won't tell you the past year hasn't been challenging. I've been in this business for 32 years, and I've seen this kind of economy before," he said. "But our dealership's done extremely well in spite of the economy, and things could certainly have been a lot worse."
One reason for his optimistic outlook is because the three brands of new vehicles sold at Reliable Imports and RV-Hyundai, Subaru, and Mazda-have done better than bigger brands during the current recession. "The three manufacturers I represent did very well this year," said Reiserer. "I think part of that is because these brands have always made fuel efficient vehicles; when it became clear that fuel efficiency was the big issue for the future, they were already well positioned in the market. They've shown that they're the manufacturers of the future. They've all grown this year, because these manufacturers recognized that it was time to step forward a few years ago and work on creating new fuel technologies."
While some brands have struggled to remain pertinent in the automotive industry, Reiserer looks at the accolades that prove his brands are the wave of the future. "They have a lot going for them," he said. "Hyundai is one of the two companies with the largest increase of market share; the Elantra is highest in J.D. Power and Associates' initial quality for all cares; the 2011 Sonata is already getting a lot of attention; and Subaru is a zero landfill manufacturer.
"Actually, Subaru's just having a banner year in arguably one of the toughest car markets in recent years," he continued. "Reliable Subaru is up 750 percent in the month of October over the prior October, in terms of sales. We're number one in the South Central Region, and have actually tripled this market share over the previous year. The products are almost totally redesigned, too; the oldest model is only two years old. The new ones are really catching on, and 75 to 80 percent of people getting a new Subaru are trading in an old one, which fuels our preowned inventory. All Subaru models are all-wheel drive, which is especially good this time of year. They've always been bulletproof cars with a niche following of people who knew how good they were; now, the new look is appealing to more mainstream customers."

"We're also having solid RV sales. Manufacturers are hiring back people in anticipation of growth, and companies are building more fuel efficient RVs across the board," Reiserer continued. "Our RV service and parts department is doing very well; we have the facility to handle these big 40-foot RVs, which makes us very convenient for people traveling in the area."
Along with the quality products and service provided, Reiserer points out other factors that have worked in Reliable Imports and RV's favor this past year. "As a company, we're doing some things to improve. Service and parts are now open until midnight, we're actually in the process of hiring more salespeople now in anticipation of the spring sales market," he said. "The family man with a couple of children is finally learning that working in the car business is a good career; that allows us to hire, long-term, higher quality people.
"Service and parts continue to grow as people keep their vehicles longer and take better care of them," he continued. "We anticipate being able to continue upgrading the facility, and continuing to offer our customers more services. We recognize the importance of keeping our customer database coming back to us.
"Cash For Clunkers was an amazing success for us, and especially for Hyundai, because so many of those vehicles qualified. Plus, our cars are pretty affordable anyway. That promotion helped clear out cars, making room for our new remodeled inventory," he said. "Probably 75 percent of my cars are already 2010 models, and that makes it truly a good time to buy an automobile. The manufacturers are offering great incentives, and we're aggressive because we know it's a buyer's market and we're responding accordingly."
Reiserer thinks that 2010 is already looking better than 2009, but still manages to find the silver lining in the past year's clouds. "I feel very fortunate that Reliable Imports and RV is part of the Van Tuyl organization; this down time is a good time to grow, and we've maintained a financially solvent state that's allowing us to do so," he said. "And the other thing about tough times is that it tends to make the employees pull together. It makes them appreciative of what they've got, and basically just makes them better employees. By focusing on teamwork and doing what it takes to keep the dealership successful, we've all grown together, and that can only benefit our customers."

The Motorist Choice Awards recognize new cars and trucks that give their owners both economic and emotional satisfaction, helping new car buyers find vehicles that best satisfy all of their personal transportation needs.

The fourth annual Motorist Choice Awards were co-developed by AutoPacific, known for its owner satisfaction rankings, and IntelliChoice.com, the online source for automotive ownership cost and value analysis, to recognize the vehicles that delivered both the highest customer satisfaction and the lowest cost of ownership. One-hundred and ninety six cars, trucks, crossovers and SUVs were scored this year to determine the winners.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by both Intellichoice.com and AutoPacific in the 2009 Motorist Choice Awards,” said Brandon Ramirez, product manager, Hyundai Motor America. “With safety and technology features rivaling more expensive vehicles in the small SUV segment, Tucson is a smart option for car buyers seeking value, quality and reliability in their next car purchase.”
For 2009, sound engineering refinements have been made to improve Tucson’s EPA fuel economy values. Additional exterior and interior changes include all-new 16-inch alloy wheels, a more distinctive chrome grille, new tailgate trim and new GLS seat fabric.

Hyundai Genesis Accolades
HYUNDAI GENESIS IS CLASS OF THE 2009 MODEL YEAR WITH MOST TOP-CAR HONORS
HEADLINED BY THE 2009 NORTH AMERICAN CAR OF THE YEAR AWARD, HYUNDAI'S NEW FLAGSHIP EARNS MORE TOP RECOGNITION THAN ANY OTHER 2009 INTRODUCTION
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., 08/27/2009
Hyundai’s all-new flagship, the Genesis sedan, launched to significant anticipation culminating with its coronation as the 2009 North American Car of the Year – the first time a Korean brand has ever achieved the honor. But Genesis didn’t stop there, accumulating honor after prestigious honor to become the most decorated new car launch of the 2009 model year. At last count, Genesis tallied more than 20 top honors from the most prominent media outlets and automotive organizations in North America.
Genesis’ trophy case includes awards and accolades from the likes of J.D. Power and Associates, Motor Trend, AutoPacific, Cars.com and leading consumer publications. Genesis is built on Hyundai’s all-new, performance-driven rear-wheel-drive architecture. It offers two powertrains, the Lambda 3.8-liter V6 engine producing 290 hp, and Hyundai’s all-new Tau 4.6-liter V8 engine producing 375 hp. With technology rivaling more expensive luxury sedans, convenience features like push-button start and navigation system, and five-star safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA), it’s clear that Genesis is among the best new cars of 2009. But at a starting MSRP of just $32,250 and max price of just $42,000 for a fully loaded Genesis, it’s no surprise the competition was left in Hyundai’s rear-view mirror.
“Genesis was developed to rival the world’s best luxury sedans so we knew it would be a great car, but we didn’t know how it would be received by the automotive community,” said Scott Margason, director of Product & Strategic Planning for Hyundai. “As the awards accumulated, we realized not only how well designed the Genesis was, but how far the Hyundai brand had come. Consumers and automotive industry influencers really embraced the idea of Hyundai producing a luxury product.”

Hyundai continues to take their customers back to when gas was only $1.49 per gallon with their new price-lock promotion. Reliable Hyundai serves Southwest Missouri with an unbeatable selection of Hyundais at great prices and they are proud to be able to offer Hyundai’s price-lock promotion to their loyal customers.
Hyundai’s price lock program supples new customers with a year’s supply of gas at just $1.49 per gallon for regular unleaded gas. Customers will have the option of paying an extra 15 cents per gallon for mid-range fuel or 30 cents extra per gallon for premium.
When a customer purchases any 2009 Hyundai, they have the options of price-lock or they can take rebates and incentives equivalent to the estimated savings on fuel. If price-lock is chosen the customer will enroll online at Hyundai.pricelock.com after the dealer has given them the proper information.
The customer will link a valid Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discovery credit card paired with a special pin that will be used only when purchasing gas. When the customer is done pumping, the receipt will show as the full pump price; however the customer’s credit card bill will show the discounted price. Hyundai’s price-lock site uses the same online security standards banks use, so customer’s information will be safe. Hyundai’s new program will surely get new car shoppers into one of their great new vehicles.
