Michael Ivens

Job Titles:
  • Sales / Dealer Trades
I came to Bend in 2008 in the middle of the recession. I doubted my career in sales until I realized that no one had money to buy cars. I stuck it out and gained a love for helping my clients find the right vehicle that fit into their lifestyle. Outside of work I love hangin g out with my best friend and wife who are the same person and listening to vinyl on my turntable and vintage tuner and amp. I love representing Volvo and believe fully in just how safe these cars are. I have seen many returning customers who swear by our brand and I am so proud to be a part of their purchasing decision. ee95ac5319484284afd7d6a7b13b3d85
