Trust
Maybe I am a simpleton from Kentucky, but when did people stop trusting? I run a honest, fair business where the truth is number one. If I believe that you are buying too much car, I will tell you. Don't get me wrong I have been screwed, but the thing is you cannot just shut down and treat everyone as a liar and a thief. A lot of bad things have happened through out the years in the auto industry, but to treat all car dealers as if they are lying all the time is wrong. There are some that absolutely are the scum of the earth and I recognize that, but there is the rest of us.
Dealer to Dealer sales are so screwed up right now and I blame the dealers themselves. Most dealers get so greedy that they will do business without checking on the reputation of the dealer. I always call around and find out about the dealer if I have never done business with them before.
Customers and potential customers have to do their research as well, there are plenty of people to ask and find out what kind of car dealer you are potentially working with. In the case of The Motorsports Gallery, I will tell you to do your homework on us.
The world is a different place today and business is getting harder and harder. I believe if we inject a little cautious trust into the system it might go a long way to helping the hard times not be so hard.

DEALS, DEALS
What a truly amazing time we are experiencing in the car business right now. The perception is that there are nothing but deals out there and they are only going to get better. This is some merit to this, there will be some marquees that will drop some more, but a huge majority of brands have found a bottom. Now whether that is a soft bottom or not is yet to be seen.
If you are looking for a car and you have the means by all certainty now is the time to buy. The U.S. vehicle inventories of high-end and exotic cars is shrinking with a full year, last year, of a weak dollar a lot and I mean a lot of good color combination and good optioned cars made their way to Europe.
On the other hand if you are going to trade in a vehicle, here's the rub. It is going to hurt, but you have to look at the money you will be saving on the new car, there is always a price to pay to play.
Financing, contrary to popular belief there is financing out there and we can get it done for you.
As always,
With Ease

Winter is coming
With Snow in the mountains and cold and windy on the front range of colorado, now is time to purchase a new or upgrade to four wheel drive. The prices on four wheel drive cars and trucks are as low as they are going to be all winter, once the snow really starts to fly the prices will go through the roof.

Where to put your money?
Over the past couple of weeks I have received several calls on, what car is going to make money? So down and out on the market people have now turned to cars. I don't blame them some of the best advice I could have taken almost a year ago was to pull out of the market and put money into something you enjoy. If you have extra cash around or you are pulling out of the this market why not find a collector car to enjoy. One thing I do know is that owning an good ole' drivable collectible is a lot more fun than a stock certificate that is worth less everyday.
http://www.search-autoparts.com/searchautoparts/Distribution/Collector-cars-earn-better-return-than-stock-marke/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/558697?contextCategoryId=41884
Not to say that the collector market is safe and not subject to ups and downs, but with the right research there are plenty of cars that you could park money in, for at least the next five years, and either break even or make money.
The Motorsports Gallery is here to do just that. With all of the years of experience and having already paid real dollars and cents on mistakes, partner with us so that you don't have to pay to learn where to put your money. The Motorsports Gallery can go from simply being the allocator of the car you want to invest in or doing the full bore research and finding of that special car to enjoy for years to come.
Now there is no doubt that there are two schools of thought on collector cars. Some say that it can be a solid investment, I for one would like to agree with that train of thought. But it is only a good investment if it is bought right. The old saying "you make your money on the buy" is oh so true. The other side of the story is that you can lose, you are exactly right, you can lose and I have. But it only takes once to learn that lesson and that is why The Motorsports Gallery is the perfect partner to find that investment collector. We have already learned that lesson and will do everything in our power to keep that from happening to you.

Doing the right thing
How is it that doing the right thing makes you poor? The Motorsports Gallery was founded on doing the right thing for customers, yet it seems to get you in more trouble. We have had a rash of doing the right thing then having it blow up on us. Maybe it does pay to be shady and just take the money and run. I am not complaining about the situation just trying to figure out how it has come to this. When did consumers become blind to who is doing things correctly and who has the best deal.
We sell previously owned cars and we do our best to investigate all the cars we buy, this is real dollars and cents being spent. But sometimes cars have problems, we can't predict the future. In the current economic situation of the world I am starting to see where some of our problems are coming from. People have become accustom to instant gratification and make poor financial decisions. The Motorsports Gallery has had many potential customers that have walked away from our services of finding the right vehicle at the right price, because someone else had one that was close sitting on the ground. When you are spending bid dollars and cents on luxury items why settle for close.
We have recently realized that a crossroads is coming. Do we stay the course of being conscious of the consumer and want to create a relationship or do we take the money and run.
Just some thoughts on a Friday, hope everyone has a safe weekend.

The Car Business
I want to help people understand what it takes to be in the "car business". It is unlike any other industry in the world. First you have to realize that car dealers are buying an asset that literally is worth less everyday (even more so now with the state of the economy). Second the internet has made information so accessible that all consumers are educated. I write that one cautiously, some consumers are educated and very analytical. Others just saw a price and said that is how much it should be, either way you are dealing with a well heeled buyer. Third, car dealers themselves, I grew up in this business and I will say it, on the bottom of the ocean are lawyers and car dealers. Just as bad as some of them treat the customer they are far worse among themselves.
Now I don't want anyone thinking I am crying about my life, the fact is if done correctly it is one of the most fun and rewarding jobs in the world. I have created The Motorsports Gallery to be in the business correctly and do it right. From the multi-million dollar collector cars to the daily driver for $10,000 I want every deal to been done correctly.
