Yesterday I participated in an Automotive News webinar with Tom Kontos, the Economist from Adesa Auto Auction. This seminar can be purchased and downloaded from the Automotive News website. I think that you would find it informative and instructive. I have a few thoughts from the seminar that I&#8217;d like to share.

Dale,
 
I have exchanged e mail with you in the past.  I thought I would let you know that your article in Auto Success titled “Volatility and Velocity” brought me up out of my chair.  It is as dead on accurate as any article I have recently read pertaining to a very competitive used car market.

Over the past several weeks I&#8217;ve received numerous requests to meet with dealership personnel to review the basic fundamentals of velocity management. I&#8217;m finding it increasingly difficult to set dates and appointments in the near term. As a result I will be conducting periodic velocity training classes at our office in Oak Brook, Illinois on [...]]]></description>

For some time now all of us in the industry have been feeling the pain of sourcing vehicles. As I&#8217;ve written in the past, I believe that most of the pain has to do with the fact that there is an increased demand at the wholesale level causing prices to spiral upwards.

A Solution for Used Vehicle Sourcing Troubles
Chances are you&#8217;ve heard the following statements around your dealership, &#8220;I know we need vehicles but I can&#8217;t find them&#8221; and/or &#8220;We are going to have to over-pay to get them.&#8221;
Both statements ring true to a point. The market is certainly full of dealers looking for used vehicles to [...]]]></description>

Yesterday I had an extraordinary experience. In the morning, I found myself on the phone with a 25 year old named Chris Irwin. Chris runs the family business of Irwin Motors, a Ford and Toyota dealership in central New Hampshire.

While the herd of old-school buyers have been on a feeding frenzy, there has been a minority of dealers watching from the sidelines in amazement.  They are now wondering how long the frothy wholesale buying mentality can last.  Below you&#8217;ll find examples of a few such dealers and my advice.
Example 1:
