2018 Vehicle Buyers Guide

Speedometer 2018

2018 is off to a great start for most of us and what could be a better way to start off a new year than with a new vehicle.

Save A Lot of TIme

Unfortunately, with so many choices in today’s marketplace, finding the right vehicle can take time and a lot of effort. This is why nearly 90% of consumers start their adventure online. Whether you start at a manufacturer’s website or a third party site, online shopping for a vehicle can save you a lot of time and frustration.

The Walser Auto Campus – Wichita website has a new tool on our website to assist you with narrowing down your choices.  Clicking this link will take you directly to the 2018 Vehicle Buyer’s Guide. You will see sections on leasing vs financing and several questions from our experience of assisting customers with their vehicle selection.

Great DealThe best part? We are very transparent with our Buyer’s Guide and aren’t pushing an agenda. We present the facts, or “Pros” and “Cons”, of each step of the buying process. We understand that every situation and person is unique and will do our best to make sure your purchase process is unlike any you have experienced before.

See you soon!

Good Bye 2017, Hello 2018!

17-18It is an exciting time of the year where we close out one year and begin anew. And in the luxury automotive business, that means the arrival of fresh and new vehicle models. With the NINE brands we represent, a month never goes by where we don’t have something brand new or something refreshed to talk about with our customers. 2018 is no exception!

From Lexus , the flagship of the brand, the LS 500 sedan, is coming out with style, power, and a total redesign. From the standard twin-turbo 3.5 liter V6 (producing 415 horsepower!) to optional four-wheel steering, to a TEN-speed transmission, the LS will not disappoint…expect it sometime in January or February.Lexus-LS-overview-hero-1312x656-LEX-LSG-MY18-0041-1-d

From Audi, the redesigned Q5 will arrive this spring and will be a technological wonder. With the available Virtual Cockpit, a customizable 12.3-inch video display that replaces the traditional instrument panel, you can choose the design that works best for you!2018-Audi-Q5-hero-mobile-1024-v3

From Land Rover, the Range Rover Velar, available now, is the latest addition to the ever-growing family. With a wide variety of power-trains available, there is a Velar for everyone. Starting at just $49,900, the Velar is also very affordable for a luxury SUV with the great heritage of Land Rover…

We have updates from Porsche (911 GT2 RS and Panamera/Panamera Turbo S Hybrid) as well as new AMG models from Mercedes-Benz (AMG GT C Convertible and AMG GT R). Also expect to see the Audi A5 Sportback and TT RS sometime soon…and this is just the beginning!

 

Walser Auto Campus Website

When I am out and about in Wichita or at a Chamber of Commerce event, I am often asked about business and how the “new” company is doing. I usually reply that after nearly 16 months, the Walser Auto Campus and I am doing great. That usually elicits a chuckle or at the very least a smirk. And then I get to tell them about all the exciting enhancements to our business and our new website – WalserAutoCampus.com.

New Walser Auto Campus WebsiteAs you can see in the photo above, this is not your ordinary “dealer” website. From the aerial slow pan across the front of the Greenwich side of the campus (don’t worry – BMW/MINI/Porsche/Acura coming soon!), you can see why our collection of some of the most iconic brands in the world, all on one campus, is second-to-none.

From new Porsches and Jaguars, to great Used Cars (priced from $7998 and up!), we have what you are looking for! In addition, with our sister stores in the great state of Minnesota, we just might be able to get that new vehicle from one of our sister brands down here to you as well. And, best of all, at a negotiation-free, Walser Upfront Price, too!

See you soon….

Audi Wichita Now Open – Again!

20160629_101959After opening nearly 2 years ago in a temporary structure, setting a few Customer Services standards along the way (thanks to our amazing customers!), our brand new, state-of-the art Audi Dealership is now open!

20160629_101851.jpgTo enter, simply drive to the northernmost entrance on our 31-acre campus, or just past the temporary structure. Parking for Sales and Service are located on the northern side of the new facility.

20160629_101632.jpgWhen you first walk in, the overwhelming size of the showroom (our largest to date!) will take a moments to settle in. The first item you will undoubtedly notice is the sweeping wall-structure that provides a visual barrier between the showroom where all of the GREAT Audi vehicles are displayed, and the tastefully designed working area for our Sales and Service teams.

The second feature you’ll most likely notice is the 22 foot tall video wall that runs from the floor to the Club Level area on the second floor.  Showing Audi Racing footage, current Audi vehicle offerings, or live sporting events. Simply amazing is the comment most often heard when guests and associates first see the display.

20160629_101648.jpgJust behind and to the left of the video feature, is one of our Guest Lounges where you can only a complimentary hot or cold beverage, and in the mornings hours from 7:30 to 10:30 am, a selection of gourmet pastries.  Current newspapers, a wall-mounted TV, a Children’s Play Area (complete with iPads and classic arcade game cabinet with 70+ classic arcade games loaded), and a fireplace.  Also in this area is a large selection of Audi branded merchandise, clothing, and accessories for the Audi fan in your home.

Walk directly to the right of the video feature and you will find our Vehicle Reveal Center and Service Consultation areas.  The Vehicle Reveal Center is really where the Audi Experience begins…..when you first take delivery of your new or certified pre-owned Audi.  The room features a turntable allowing you to see all the beautiful angles of your Audi.

20160629_101720Continue around the corner and you will see our Service Consultants reviewing the status of Audi vehicles in for service.  As you walk by the Service Consultation area, you will notice the glass doors swooshing open and closed (Star Trek, anyone?) that take yo in to the Audi Service Drive where guests are dropping off and picking up their vehicles from our Service Team.

Across the Service Drive is the Retail Parts Counter and a glass wall that allows you to look into the Service Technician area where our amazing, experienced, and factory-certified technicians are providing valuable maintenance on your Audi.

And now for the most amazing feature of our new Audi facility….Club Level.  Club level is where you can get away from it all with our all-weather Rooftop Terrace, the Audi Sport Theater, the Quattro Cafe with Cheesecake Factory Bakery offerings (an Audi first and ONLY at Audi Wichita!), and the luxurious Audi All Access VIP retreat, an exclusive perk of ownership for our Audi owners.

This area simply has to be seen to believe!  Ask an Associate for a tour of the Club Level experience.  And while you are there, maybe they’ll have some samples of some of the cheesecake!

The new Audi Wichita is unlike anything you have ever seen at an automobile retailer before. Experience it today!

Certified Specials

Where is the best place to purchase a pre-owned Audi or Lexus?  The dealer that has first choice when it comes to these luxury vehicles.

Did you know that when a lease is returned to a dealer, the dealer has first choice as to whether or not they keep the vehicle? If the dealer refuses the vehicle, it then goes to a private auction for only the dealers that sell that make of vehicle new.  If the vehicle is passed over and rejected again, THEN the vehicle goes to public auction where Carmax and the dealers on South Broadway get a crack at the vehicle.

Now why would a dealer reject a vehicle?  Maybe we have one very similar already in stock.  Maybe the vehicle requires too much reconditioning to keep.  Maybe it was smoked in.  Maybe we know the service history of the vehicle and would rather not take the chance of retailing a vehicle that had a spotty service history.

Whatever the reason, the Wichita Luxury Collection is the place to save money on a certified pre-owned vehicle.

Audi A3 Lease Special
