Used Car Dealer business owners everywhere are feeling the effects of a rough 1st half of 2020. The last thing anyone needs is more of the same tired DMV being adversarial to its own used car dealers. Truth be told there are some great inspectors that work for the California DMV like Inspector Partoza or Inspector Macias. Even some of the management seems fairly "on-the-ball" but for the most part, DMV inspectors use their power in a very sinister way. Their decisions and short-sidedness often results in the suspension of a car dealer auction license, whereby leaving the dealer unable to feed his/her family. Happens more to men, by the way...no wonder women live longer than men.

Explicit language used this episode of the Your Car Dealer Podcast. As a used car dealer in 2019 and going into 2020, there is a growing problem in the industry. It's creeping in slowly and daily to dismantle great car dealerships systematically. The problem is a lack of focus on what got you to the dance. Most used car dealers have a particular expertise, are really good in a certain area. What is that for you? Where are you the best in class (or as close to it as possible)? Instead of continuing to get better at what that expertise is, we sometimes get off going into areas that we want to dabble in because we get bored. Shiny object syndrome is real and a daily fight to beat. #YourCarDealerBond #UsedCarDealer #CarDealerProfitability Mike Ramos discusses a real story from his youth and ties it to used car dealer industry. Let's call this acquaintance Brad Martin and the story here gives a great lesson for dealers out there that are losing focus.

As a Used Car Dealer in 2019 finding better ways to source your inventory is mandatory! Where should you be getting your inventory from and should you be getting 100% of your inventory from the auction? I just had a used car dealer email me this when I asked why she was leaving the business: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I was losing too much money every month. Even though I was an online dealer, I still had to pay for an office location that was approved by DMV. It is a great concept, but I basically did not sell enough cars to pay any bills. In fact, I lost money or broke even on every car I got at auction. I used Next Gear Capital for flooring, and I am still dealing with the last car that I couldn't sell. I ended up having to pay another dealer to take it off my hands, and Next Gear is not being very helpful in getting the car closed out. I was usually outbid at auctions on the cars I wanted. I also specialized in electric vehicles, because that is what I know and where my passion is, but the market is a lot smaller for them (which I knew beforehand). It is a very difficult business to get started in and not a lot of other established independent dealers willing to share information. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This is a real story and it's happening a lot more than you could imagine. In this short snippet of the Your Car Dealer Podcast, Mike Ramos discusses best practices around this method and how to strategize for success. #YourCarDealerBond #UsedCarDealer #CarDealerInventory Here's a great episode that details the best practices involved in drive your Inventory for Personal Use? http://cal-surety.libsyn.com/can-i-drive-my-used-car-dealer-inventory-for-personal-use Do you need car dealer bond?... https://www.cal-surety.com/auto-dealer-bond/ Email Mike Ramos directly at mike@yourcardealerbond.com or hit us up at 866-357-4405.

Do you have tons of questions about used car dealer insurance? How would you like to get those questions personally explained to you by a 20-year dealer insurance expert in plain English? Such complex subject matter takes at least a decade to fully understand with the proper training. Nearly every insurance agent or broker on this planet that sells used car dealer insurance has never worked for an insurance carrier. Mike Ramos is now the founder of Your Car Dealer Bond LLC but prior to forming this family-owned company, Mr. Ramos spent 20 years working through the ranks of a marquee insurance carrier. With specific training and expertise of this level, it just seemed like a travesty to not share that with great auto dealers across America. This makes a huge difference from the perspective of the breadth and depth in which a person understands your exposure and how to insure that risk. Agents and brokers without extensive carrier-level experience also don't understand how the claims and legal team will react to the insurance contract that is in place. Don't let yourself be disadvantaged another minute against insurance agents and brokers that just want to take your money by using fancy insurance language. Hold this persona accountable to help you better-understand your insurance contract. Further they need to help you shift, reduce, combine, and protect the risks associated with your used car dealer business. Do you understand co-insurance penalties? Mike Ramos also discusses how insurance companies get you to be honest by limiting your potential claims payouts through co-insurance. Mike also discusses vehicle history and defects and how that affects your dealership. Then we wrap up with a simple way to understand liability insurance and how that affects retail car dealers. Here's a great free resource for those of you that still have questions about used car dealer insurance… https://www.cal-surety.com/dealer-insurance-buyers-guide/ Here's the California Used Car Dealer Bond Buyer's Guide that I developed last year with your questions in mind… https://cardealerbondnow.com/ Do you need a dealer bond: https://www.cal-surety.com/auto-dealer-bond/ Are you struggling to put the pieces together to get your dealer license or is the business struggling to make a profit?

The used car dealer mindset has to change in 2019 if you want to keep up with the competition. The auto sales industry has become so competitive that folks like Platinum Rose and Tony Swedberg have made been able to help dealers increase sales through education. Then there are the larger dealerships like Carmax or peer-to-peer sales companies like Carvana that make it tough for smaller auto dealers to compete. How does a used car dealer get ahead in 2019 in such a competitive market? The same way that a runner jogs a marathon…1 step at a time. Mike Ramos and ChasDre get into another week of the Your Car Dealer Podcast with an important mindset for 2019. This is focusing more on bringing value than having the goal of being likable.
