Manheim Interactive Inc. has formed a dealer advisory council to assist in gathering formal input on company products and services.

Participants in the dealer council meetings will include: Bob Davis of Bob Davis Pontiac in Alpharetta, GA; Carter Myers of Colonial Auto Center in Charlottesville, VA; Don Tinsley of Centralia Ford Lincoln Mercury Inc. in Centralia, IL; Barbara Vidmar of Vidmar Motor Co. in Pueblo, CO; Bruce Bendell of Major Chevrolet in Long Island, NY; Robert Goodman of Saturn of Richmond in Midlothian, VA; Wayne Hileman of Burlington Volkswagen Kia in Burlington, NJ; John Larabee of Manchester Honda in Manchester, CT; Steven Murray of Andrew Murray Motors in Georgetown, Ontario; James Perry of Perry Buick Co. in Norfolk, VA; Moss Robertson of Moss Robertson Olds Cadillac Inc. in Gainesville, GA; Jay Rosario of Rolling Hills Ford in Clermont, FL; and Ron Runions of Liberty Chrysler Plymouth Dodge in Hinesville, GA. “One of the best ways to make sure we are on the right track is to listen carefully to what dealers have to say, and that is why we are committed to the advisory council,” said Dennis Berry, CEO of Manheim Auctions Inc. The first of the three groups composing the council will meet in Atlanta in November. Additional council meetings will be held at various times in 2001, scheduled around automotive-related events and trade shows across the country.
