Dealer Spotlight: ARGO of Seattle
Thursday, May 24, 2007
Uwe Odenwald is the
owner of one of the northwestern United States’ most successful ARGO
dealerships. When asked about how he discovered the vehicle that has
given him so much business he says a friend showed him the ARGO on the
internet and he was immediately smitten. Realizing the market potential
for such a unique vehicle Uwe wasted no time in adding the ARGO to his
already eclectic product mix. At his first trade show in Spokane,
Washington Uwe remembers the ARGO drawing quite the crowd and creating
an even bigger buzz among the participants. As the show drew to a close
and he returned to the dealership he found himself swamped with calls
from people curious about the amphibious ARGO. As Uwe explains, “It’s
no wonder the ARGOs generated so much attention. They are vastly
superior to their competitors and they’re the only vehicle that floats.
People had never seen a vehicle like that before!”
As
one of only two ARGO dealers in the entire state, Uwe keeps over nine
vehicles at a time in his busy showroom and says that he is constantly
having to restock his inventory. Having already sold 7 vehicles in the
past six months, Uwe believes that the interest for ARGOs is only going
to go up. “I wish I had more time,” he says. “I’d go across the state
and open up additional dealerships because I know that if they carried
the ARGO, they would inevitably be successful”. Without a doubt, Uwe’s
optimism is a clear indication that becoming an ARGO dealer is a smart
decision.
