Our Team

Bill Priddy, General Manager Bill Priddy, General Manager

I began my career in the Automobile Business in the mid ‘70’s in Nashville as a Volkswagen Sales Consultant.  Since 1980, I have been associated with Mercedes-Benz dealerships as either a Sales Manager or General Sales Manager, and since 2001 as a General Manager when I moved to join the team at Mercedes of Knoxville.  My wife and I live on Fort Loudon Lake and enjoy “lake life” immensely and all of the outdoor activities that go along with it.  Though we are both native Alabamians, we have truly become East Tennesseans and love it.
