Meet the Staff of Trade Guru
Josh Stacy - President/Owner
josh@tradeguruonline.com
I’m a proud veteran, a devoted patriot, and a lifelong car enthusiast. I love meeting new people, making great deals, and helping solve real problems. I know that many people don’t trust car dealers—and honestly, I get it. I’ve met a lot of them. That’s why it means so much to me when customers walk out of my office saying, “I’ve never had a car-buying experience like that before!”
Buying a car shouldn’t be scary. At Trade Guru, we work hard to make the process simple, honest, and even enjoyable. Let us show you how different it can be.
I’m a family man with two young kids—a son and a daughter—and I’ve been married to my amazing wife for 17 years. We live and attend church in Venice and are deeply invested in our community. Whether times are good or hard, we’ll be here, working alongside you to find fair, peaceful, and practical solutions.
I love working out, staying active, and watching or playing just about any sport. And for what it’s worth… I’m a 4-time fantasy football champion (just had to throw that in)!
Colleen Stacy - Office Assistant and Decorator!
CO-OWNER AND MY WIFE! Everyone who walks in our facility can't get over how nice it looks, how unlike a car dealership it looks, and that is all my wife's doing, she wanted our customers to have a common different experience than your normal car dealership. Our store is clean and super modern, she has a heart for customers experience and how they think of us. We've actually had people say they are going to buy the car because the bathroom is so clean lol, I guess people have had some bad experiences at some of these dealerships, not ours! With two little kids her role has changed at the dealership, she comes in and helps me with some office work on a weekly basis, but we are grateful that she is around and can solve a lot of our problems! She ran the back office for a 450 "car a month" store in Indianapolis, so she comes with a wealth of experience and a great smile!
