Secret Academy Episode – Brett David
Unquestionably, one of the auto industry’s rising stars is 26 year old Brett David, who is the owner of Miami-based Prestige Imports, the top selling Audi dealership in the U.S. It’s been the top selling Audi dealership since 2007 when David suddenly found himself at age 19, as the store’s owner when his father Irv David died suddenly from a heart attack. Bucking conventional wisdom, advice from friends and plans established by his late father, Brett decided against selling the dealership. He made the right decision. That first year under his leadership, Prestige’s sales exploded nearly 400% from 651 vehicles sold in 2006 to over 2000 vehicles retailed in 2007. And in 2010, following the worst recession in automotive history, Prestige sold a whopping 1,610 new Audi’s and retained his title as number 1 Audi Dealer. Brett may have had the dealership handed to him, but as you’ll soon learn, his hard work, adaptability and leadership is what made him the superstar CEO he is today, but more importantly a respected leader amongst his peers.

6 Cars Most People Think Cost Over $100,000
Similarly to the way a gentleman dresses, a car speaks volumes about the person piloting it. As a symbol of success, luxury cars are often the go-to vehicles for more affluent individuals but what most people don’t realize is that you don’t have to break the bank to own a high-end luxury car. Cars that once retailed for over $100,000 are now a bargain at nearly half the cost. With a typical vehicle life cycle of 10 years, it generally doesn’t always make sense to buy new as the changes between the years rarely do justify the cost. We always preach that perception is key to success and here’s why we think these 6 vehicles are the best cars to make a statement, yet only cost a fraction of what they once sold for.
