'The average consumer goes to about 1.5 dealerships when they purchase a vehicle. 1.5 dealerships or let's say if they go to more than that that could take several days or weeks in order to look at exactly what they want,' said Mark Winkler Jr., sales manager with Champion Ford Erie. Retiring Erie police officer receives recognition from housing authority And that's why Winkler Jr. looks forward to this event all year long. 'In the winter people go through they do a lot of their research on the Internet. This gives the ability to take a look in person at multiple different vehicle lines and see what's there to offer different colors that are available and also talk to some of the product experts that are here outside of the dealership setting where they typically would,' he added. After talking with dealers the must-see section in the back is the convention center which includes a complete inventory of their electric vehicles. 'There are some really cool EVs here and there's a really really nice Corvette so if you're into some new cars it's a cool thing to come out and see,' Snyder told us.
