Recently, I received a note from a successful Velocity dealer stating in part that they&#8217;ve experienced difficulty with appraisals of late. Part of it being that they are stretching so far to make new car deals they’re often putting too much into a trade. His desk managers are really finding a larger disconnect between auction [...]]]></description>

I want to take just a few moments to share my thoughts about this year’s used car market.  The first quarter seemed to start out strong, with March being exceptionally good for most dealers.  Generally, April, May and June seem to have tailed off a bit in terms of retail demand.  While I’m not prepared [...]]]></description>

Recently I received a copy of a note from Prestige Toyota in Kingston, NY to consultant George Gabriel.  Through the efforts of the Prestige team and Gabriel, the dealership is enjoying an unprecedented success.  Congratulations…
George,
