A Hummer dealer in Chesterfield, Missouri has opened a secondary shop at his facility that offers an add-on buyers considering used cars in New Jersey have probably never seen: an in-store gun showroom.
Although the website for Jim Lynch Hummer touts the dealership as the only one in the country that offers Hummers exclusively, that focus didn’t pan out for him.
“[We] didn’t have enough business to keep this big, beautiful building going with the decline, so we decided we needed to do something else,” Lynch told the Belleville New-Democrat. “And the guns fit in with our customer base… a lot of sportsman, a lot of outdoorsmen, and they’ve loved it.”
He says that customers have responded well to the shift in inventory, and some customers explained to the newspaper that they valued the ability to shop for sporting goods at the dealership.
Buyers who are looking for fuel-friendly vehicles unlike the Hummer can look at a variety of used cars in New Jersey, with enough money left over for whatever hunting equipment they like. Many hybrids offer fuel mileage over 40 miles per gallon, and smaller German sedans with diesel engines can also help owners save on gas.
