After a decade in the car business, Jimmy Sotolongo has seen many changes. From the good times to the bad times, Jimmy knows what it takes to make a car dealership successful. When it comes to business, there are thinkers and there are doers. There are people that theorize and there are people that make things happen. Jimmy Sotolongo of Century Motors Financial is a seasoned business professional in the automotive sales industry that gets things done, and done right. Jimmy Sotolongo is a founder and General Manager of Century Motors Financial, establishing the firm as a small independent dealer in 1998. Jimmy and his partner began as many small businesses do - with a very small inventory and little capital, but over time the dealership has grown dramatically. Now Jimmy Sotolongo runs two locations, a higher end retail store in Winter Park and a wholesale operation in Daytona Beach, with an average of over US $12 million annually. While the operations have grown, the staff has kept pace, from the two partners running every facet of the operation, to a staff of 12 today. While growing the business gradually, Jimmy Sotolongo has proven to be instrumental in guiding and crafting the management philosophy of Century Motors Financial. Jimmy knows that people are the ultimate asset, and has worked tirelessly to ensure that his staff stays with him through the years. Century Motors has worked through the years to establish relationships with many banks and finance companies to make their customers financing needs worry free. This fact, in addition to the great service, high quality inventory, and solid financial performance over many years in business, makes Century Motors Financial and Jimmy Sotolongo one of the premiere independent automotive dealerships in Florida. When Jimmy is not making deals and growing his business, he enjoys making use of the lovely waters around Florida for boating, scuba diving, and fishing. Jimmy Sotolongo is a lifelong football fan and enjoys watching the Miami Dolphins whenever he can.
