Lansing-Area Auto Dealers Investing, Still Optimistic About Future

Jeff Crippen, president of Crippen Buick Pontiac GMC Mazda Volvo in Lansing, is celebrating the car dealership’s 35th anniversary with an expansion. Crippen and other Lansing dealers say they’re hopeful for the future.

According to excerpts from the article:

Crippen says, “We’ve just celebrated our 35th anniversary. We recently completed a major renovation of our facility and we continue to do well. Business in 2008 was comparable to 2007 and the news is positive, especially here in Lansing.”

Sherrill Freeborough, president of Saturn of Grand Ledge and Okemos, echoes that optimism. She says, “Being in Lansing is a healthy thing for a car dealership. Our reputation is good and that’s reflected in our continued growth. Yes, we have seen a slight decline in our sales business, but in the long run, Saturn is going to be fine. We’re continuing to do business as always and we’re happy to be in Lansing.”
