MHS Motor, the Opel dealer inaugurated in Targu Mures last year, posted record sales of 121 units in its first year in business. The multi-brand operations of the group will include the first Volkswagen dealer this year.
“We will continue to expand with Opel, it will not remain the first or be the last. We will continue to look for opportunities in the area, also in Transylvania. Next is Volkswagen in Baia Mare,” Michael Schmidt, chairman, owner and founder of the company, said.
“I was offered other brands, as well, but turned them down. (…) In Baia Mare we bought a Skoda dealer and will turn that into a Volkswagen dealer there. Opel and VW both have potential. After announcing expansion plans, we’ve received more and more offers to buy dealers because they want to leave the business, but we will be picky about what we buy.”
Automobile Bavaria posted 8% growth in sales of BMW cars in 2018, delivering 1,622 units, in addition to 206 new MINIs sold.
