what makes us different
When David Kono was 15 years old, he had a dream. He wanted to start a used car dealership to sell cars to his friends for less than they would pay anywhere else, while making a little money himself – at least more than the $9 per hour he was making at a local golf course.
Today, Route 6 Auto is a fulfillment of that dream. Until David turns 18, his dad is along for the ride.
a simplified model:
1. Super-low overhead. Route 6 owns the dealership property (a little parcel at the end of Main Street in the super-cool former mining town of Eureka, Utah) and its dealership “office” (an 8’ x 20’ shipping container).
2. no inventory and no document or nonsense fees. Buyers see what is available at massive auto auctions, choose what type of car they want, decide how much they are willing to pay for it, and Route 6 bids on pre-selected cars with the competitive advantage of not having to cover the types of costs and fees that most dealers have.
3. Less time, less pressure. Route 6 Auto eliminates full-day pressure buying experiences, paying unnecessary fees and being upsold on products you'll never use.
4. A less expensive car. The same cars that dealers are buying at auctions and re-selling on their lots but without the huge mark-up.
