Today Guest Host Matt Haiken is joined by Bill Solko, Dealer Principal at Automotive Avenues. In 2009, Bill's accountant told him he had lost $1.2 million, and a few weeks later he drove past an empty dealership and decided to go retail. Last month Automotive Avenues sold 1,025 used cars across two New Jersey stores, and it outsells Carvana in the New York market while making around $800 a car, compared with the $3,800 Bill says the big box players target. Bill breaks down his "wholesale to the public" model, why he retails aging cars instead of dumping them at auction, and why he throws predatory lenders out of his office. He also reveals, publicly for the first time, the private equity acquisition that timed out after a year in contract. Topics: 02:45 Dropped Out Of High School In 10th Grade. 09:45 Wholesaling Was Commodities Trading. 13:25 Accountant Said He Lost $1.2 Million. 17:25 Auction Owner Said Buy, We'll Figure It Out. 26:40 Selling 1,000 Cars With $800 Margins. 34:30 Manufacturers Create Artificial Demand. 50:35 Rejects Predatory Lender Programs.

Tony Zipparro breaks down CarMax's (KMX) earnings beat driven by 14% higher car sales and a 43-cent EPS surprise, but says the real story is the financing side. CarMax Auto Finance generates about 60% of profits from just 5% of revenue, with subprime lending growing from 10% to 22% of the business. He warns that rising rates and a weakening economy could squeeze lower-end borrowers, and is taking a wait-and-see approach technically around the $60-65 level.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Touch screens and added safety features are just two reasons cars are more complicated than they used to be. With so many onboard computer systems, it could leave drivers wondering whether they need to call computer repair or a mechanic.It's also one of the reasons drivers are rejecting new cars for older models. We're looking under the hood, kicking the tires, and learning about what it takes to keep your car on the road.Guests:Nile “Motormouth” Jenkins, mechanic and host of Motormouth's Morning Drive podcastChris Cozad, president and owner of Alternative Auto Care
Does selling make you feel gross?Do you worry that following up makes you annoying?That recommending something more expensive makes you pushy?That asking someone to book feels like pressure?In this episode, Jeni breaks down why good sales does not have to feel sleazy, manipulative, or uncomfortable.At its core, sales is helping someone make a decision.And as a service-based business owner, your job is to provide solutions.That does not mean convincing every inquiry to hire you.Sometimes the best sales outcome is:“Yes, let's book.”And sometimes it is:“This probably isn't the right fit.”The goal of the conversation is not always YES.The goal is clarity.Jeni shares a recent inquiry where a client wanted an extensive fusion wedding with a floral budget that simply did not support the vision. Instead of trying to force the wedding into an unrealistic budget, she educated the client, explained what different pieces would cost, provided starting pricing, and offered realistic alternatives.Because getting the booking is not the only goal.The wedding still needs to be profitable.From there, Jeni dives into one of the biggest mistakes florists make in sales conversations: making the conversation about themselves.“Do they like me?”“Do they think I'm expensive?”“Am I talking too much?”“Am I good enough?”Meanwhile, the client is wondering:Can I trust this person?Does she understand what I want?Will this be beautiful?Will this process be easy?How much will this actually cost?The fastest way to feel less salesy is to stop making the conversation about yourself.Instead, ask better questions.Understand what they care about.Listen for the problem underneath the flowers.Make recommendations based on your expertise.And confidently invite them to take the next step.In this episode, Jeni talks about:Why good sales is really good serviceWhy your goal is not to convince every inquiryHow to know when a client is simply not the right fitWhy educating a client can still be a successful sales outcomeProtecting profitability during the sales processWhy sales conversations should focus on the client—not your insecurityAsking better consultation questionsWhy harder questions often create better conversationsListening for the real problem behind what a client is asking forThe difference between being an expert and being an order takerWhy recommending upgrades is not automatically upsellingReallocating budget instead of simply adding moreWhy you should stop apologizing for your pricesHow to address a proposal that comes in above the client's target budgetGiving clients concrete options instead of discountingWhy silence is not rejectionWhy follow-up is professional—not annoyingSetting expectations around proposal holds and deadlinesWhy proposals do not sell themselvesHandling price objections without immediately lowering your priceWhy objections can be an invitation to continue the conversationHow a defined sales process creates confidenceWhy you are not meant to book every clientStop making sales about youThe client is not sitting there wondering whether you feel awkward.They are wondering:Can I trust you?Do you understand my vision?Can you solve this problem?Will this be easy?When you shift your attention away from yourself and back to serving the client, sales immediately feels different.Ask better questionsInstead of simply saying:“Tell me about your wedding.”Try asking:What are the three things you care about most visually?When your guests walk into the reception, how do you want them to feel?Where do you want the flowers to have the most impact?What are you comfortable keeping simple?Is your budget or your floral vision more important?Have you talked with other florists?What has not worked in those conversations?What would make this feel like a really successful floral experience for you?The better your questions, the better your ability to recommend the right solution.Recommend—don't just take ordersClients are not hiring you because they already know exactly what they need.They are hiring you because you are the expert.If you know a design change will create more impact, say it.If moving money away from cocktail flowers and toward the head table will create a better overall result, recommend it.If simplifying one area allows them to protect something they care deeply about, explain that.Selling is not always adding more.Sometimes great sales is helping someone spend the same money more strategically.An expert makes recommendations. An order taker simply takes the order.Stop apologizing for your priceIf a client said their budget was $5,000 and the full vision comes to $8,750, you do not have to apologize.You can simply explain:“This is the investment for the full vision we discussed. If staying closer to $5,000 is the priority, I have several ways we can simplify the design.”Then offer real solutions.Remove two tall centerpieces.Reduce bridesmaid bouquet size.Simplify candle quantities.Adjust the service level.You are not discounting.You are changing the scope.Silence is not rejectionYou tell them the price.They stop talking.Do not panic.Do not immediately say:“We can make it cheaper!”Give them space.They may simply be processing information they have never encountered before.Stop objecting to your own price before the client does.Follow-up is not desperateFollowing up does not mean:“Please book me! Please love me!”It can simply mean:“Did you receive everything?”“Do you have any questions?”“Are there any areas you'd like to adjust?”“Would it be helpful to hop on a quick call?”Silence does not automatically mean no.And your proposal does not stop selling just because you pressed send.The sales frameworkASKUnderstand what they actually want.LISTENHear their priorities and the problem underneath the request.RECOMMENDUse your expertise instead of simply taking an order.INVITEClearly explain the next step and ask them to take it.Key takeawayYour job is not to convince everyone.Your job is to help the right person decide.Good sales is good service.Ask better questions.Listen.Make recommendations.Provide solutions.Invite them to move forward.And stop objecting to your own damn prices before the client does.

If you're in the market for a car, one of the first questions you'll face is whether to buy new or used. While most people focus on the sticker price, the financing side of the equation can have just as much impact on your monthly payment and overall cost. Links: Looking for financing options?

Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. In this tip, we're talking about one of the biggest financial decisions many of us make outside of buying a home: purchasing a vehicle. We're going to break down the pros and cons of financing a new versus used vehicle and share some helpful statistics that could save you money. Let's start with new vehicles. The biggest advantage of buying new is predictability. New cars typically come with manufacturer warranties, the latest safety technology, and little to no maintenance concerns for the first several years. When it comes to financing, new vehicles often qualify for lower interest rates than used vehicles because lenders view them as less risky. The Federal Reserve's auto loan data continues to show that financing costs for new vehicles generally run lower than rates offered on used vehicles. But there is a tradeoff. Vehicle prices remain historically high. Industry data shows the average new vehicle transaction price is around $49,000, while the average used vehicle sells for roughly $26,000. That's a difference of more than $20,000. And then there's depreciation. A new vehicle begins losing value the moment you drive it off the lot. While depreciation varies by make and model, it's often the largest hidden cost of buying new. Now let's talk about used vehicles. The biggest benefit is affordability. A lower purchase price usually means a smaller loan amount, a lower monthly payment, and potentially less money spent over the life of the loan. You'll also avoid the steepest depreciation that typically occurs during a vehicle's first few years. However, used vehicles can come with higher financing rates and potentially more maintenance expenses as the vehicle ages. There's another factor worth mentioning. Cox Automotive, the largest automotive technology and services provider, reports that it expects used vehicle prices to remain relatively stable, and wholesale used vehicle values have even shown modest increases due to strong consumer demand and limited supply. That means finding a great deal on a quality used vehicle may require a little extra research and patience. Whether you're shopping for new or used, here are three questions to ask yourself: First: How long do I plan to keep this vehicle? If you tend to drive your cars for 10 years or longer, paying more upfront for a new vehicle may make sense because you'll spread that cost over many years of ownership. Second: What's more important: payment or total cost? A lower payment can be attractive, but extending your loan term can significantly increase the total amount paid in interest. Third: How much vehicle can I comfortably afford? Financial experts often recommend keeping total transportation costs, including the loan payment, insurance, fuel, and maintenance, within a reasonable percentage of your monthly income. Wallet Hub reports a percentage of around 10%-15% towards transportation as ideal for a healthy budget. Remember, just because you qualify for a certain loan amount doesn't necessarily mean that's what fits comfortably into your budget. Financing Tips for Any Vehicle Purchase Before you head to the dealership, consider these money-saving tips: Check your credit score before applying. Get pre-approved for financing so you understand your budget. Compare loan offers from multiple lenders. Focus on the total loan cost, not just the monthly payment. Consider refinancing later if your credit improves or rates decrease. Even a small difference in your interest rate can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars over the life of your loan. At the end of the day, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. A new vehicle may offer lower financing rates, warranty protection, and the latest features. A used vehicle may provide substantial savings and a lower overall investment. The key is understanding the full financial picture, including the purchase price, financing costs, depreciation, and long-term ownership expenses. Remember, Triangle's team is always available and willing to help you find the right financing option for your next car purchase.

In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, hosts Corey Janoff and Rachelle Vanderzanden discuss the pros and cons of buying versus leasing a car. You make think the answer is clear, but just like with everything in financial planning, it depends! Considerations discussed in this episode include: Total out of pocket expenses and monthly costs of owning and leasing. Changing technology in different sectors of the car market. Personal considerations including how long you may own a car, how much you may drive, and whether your needs may change over time. Owning a depreciating asset. It may seem that buying is automatically the best option. You will likely pay less long-term if you purchase a car and keep it for a long time, ending up with an asset (even if it has depreciated in value) and no monthly payment. But that may not fit your situation! Listen to the full episode to hear more. For more financial planning tips from Corey and Rachelle, find them on social media!

A used car can be “clean” on the outside and still be expensive on the inside. We sit down with Patrick Olsen, editor-in-chief at Carfax, to talk about what a Carfax report really does for buyers and sellers, how “show me the Carfax” became part of the culture, and why VIN-based history changed the way people negotiate, price, and trust a deal.We get practical about the stuff shoppers worry about: what counts as a real service record, why some maintenance never shows up, and how independent repair shops and owners can add documentation. Patrick also breaks down Carfax's newer tools, including history-based values and reliability predictions that estimate the likelihood of major repairs over the next few years.

Scream 4 (2011) Director: Wes Craven Starring: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Emma RobertsGhostface is back, Sidney's book tour just became a body count, and Woodsboro is once again the worst place in America to answer your phone. This week we're revisiting Wes Craven's final film — the soft reboot nobody asked for but almost everybody needed. We're breaking down what still works, what's aged like milk, and why this might be the most underrated entry in the franchise.In this episode, we discuss:The Soft Reboot That Actually Works — Why Scream 4 leans into nostalgia without drowning in it, and how the movie updates the franchise's rules for a texting, livestreaming, app-obsessed generation.Kirby Reed Deserved Better — A deep dive into why Hayden Panettiere's character might be the best addition to the franchise since the original crew, and how she splits the difference between Tatum and Randy.The Physics Problem — We can't stop thinking about the logistics of two scrawny killers pulling off some of the most physically demanding murders in slasher history.Fan Service vs. Pandering — Where we draw the line on rule-talk, callbacks, and whether this franchise leans on nostalgia a little too hard by the fourth go-around.We Also Talked About:Dark Side of the Ring: Paul Orndorff: Saving Mr. Wonderful (VICE) — The tragic real-life story of wrestler Paul Orndorff and the injury that ended his career.Harlan County USA (1976) (Ok.Ru) — Barbara Kopple's documentary about a brutal Kentucky coal miners' strike.Slow Horses (Apple.tv) — Gary Oldman leads a team of MI5 rejects in this Apple TV spy series.Used Cars (1980) (Tubi) — Kurt Russell plays a sleazy car salesman hiding a corpse to keep the lemons moving.Conan Must Go (Amazon) — Conan dresses up as Van Gogh and causes chaos in the Netherlands.Big Brother Skate Videos (Youtube)— A look back at the skate crew tapes that predate the Jackass empire.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

Used cars under $20,000 are selling fast, but what are buyers actually getting for their money?In this episode of the MX3 Podcast, we look at the changing used-car market and the growing affordability problem facing American drivers. We discuss used-car prices, vehicles approaching 100,000 miles, older cars being purchased for the same money buyers once spent on much newer vehicles, limited inventory, auto auctions, credit scores, interest rates, monthly payments, and the danger of becoming upside down on a long-term car loan.We also get into the cost of today's pickup trucks, rising insurance expenses, fuel costs, and why affordability may now matter more to many buyers than features, mileage, or even age.MX3 Podcast is about money, motivation, and relevant events that affect everyday life.
Tom Mitchell, the Honest Car Guy, pulls back the curtain on how dealerships really make money—and why the price you see on the window may not be the price you end up paying. He explains the risks of buy-here-pay-here lots, how bad credit can cost you thousands, and why financing strategically can help rebuild your credit. Tom also reveals how much buyers can save by avoiding dealership markups, warranties and other costly add-ons.Atlanta's ONLY All Conservative News & Talk Station.: https://www.xtra1063.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How does a used car saleswoman go from brand-new to the business to earning more than $225,000 in ONE year? "It's not about selling. It's about solving a problem." – Sady Ahmed In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with top-performing salesperson Sady Ahmed of Koons Automotive to uncover the mindset, strategies, and customer-first approach behind her rise in automotive sales. "Every customer is different. You gotta be able to mirror them." – Sady Ahmed Sady has built a powerhouse business by dominating one of the toughest opportunities in the dealership: Special Finance and credit-challenged customers. But her success goes far beyond simply selling cars. She's built a system around trust, credit education, personal branding, referrals, repeat business, and turning customers who hear "NO" elsewhere into long-term relationships. "If you don't believe that you're the best, how are you going to get other people to believe that you're the best?" – Sady Ahmed Sean and Sady also explore how today's automotive sales professionals can leverage AI, ChatGPT, community involvement, social media, and smarter follow-up strategies to create more opportunities and separate themselves from the competition. "You want the community to support you, you've got to support the community." – Sean V. Bradley How did Sady build a $225K+ income without chasing a management title? What helped her reach a record-breaking 34 cars in a single month? And what can other salespeople learn from her approach to some of the most challenging customers in automotive? Find out how this used car saleswoman earns over $225K in ONE year and the strategies helping her build a career, customer base, and personal brand that continues to grow. If you're serious about selling more cars, generating more referrals, building your brand, and increasing your income in automotive sales, you need to hear this conversation! Key Takeaways: ✅ Credit Mastery: Understanding and mastering credit intricacies play a crucial role in closing deals with subprime clients. ✅ AI Utilization: Using AI tools like ChatGPT can streamline credit analysis and improve customer experiences by drafting dispute letters or enhancing credit advisories. ✅ Personal Branding: Building a personal brand through social media and community engagement is essential for long-term success in automotive sales. ✅ Partnership Opportunities: Collaborations with credit repair firms can be a strategic method to assist clients with challenging credit profiles. ✅ Client Education: Educating clients about credit improvement methods can lead to increased customer loyalty and repeat business. About Sady Ahmed Sady Ahmed is a top-performing automotive sales consultant specializing in Special Finance at Koons Automotive of Fredericksburg. Since entering the car business in 2019 with no prior automotive experience, she has grown into a consistent 20-car-per-month producer, recently achieving a personal best of 34 vehicles sold in a single month. Known for her honest, relationship-first approach, Sady helps customers navigate challenging credit situations, build stronger financial plans, and find the right path to vehicle ownership. Her success comes from keeping it real, solving problems, and putting long-term customer relationships ahead of simply making a sale. Unlocking the Potential of Special Finance in the Automotive Industry Key Takeaways Understanding customer credit intricacies is integral for automotive sales success. Leveraging AI in credit analysis offers enhanced insights for customers with subprime profiles. Personal branding and community engagement are crucial for establishing a successful automotive sales career. Navigating the Special Finance Ecosystem in Car Sales In the world of automotive sales, special finance remains a challenging but rewarding niche. As the conversation led by Sean V. Bradley with Sadie Ahmed highlights, excelling in this sector involves not just selling cars but mastering the intricacies of credit. Sadie's approach to her work exemplifies the seamless integration of credit counseling within automotive sales, recognizing the importance of being "on their side" for customers with subprime credit scores. Sadie's dedication to special finance stems from her genuine desire to assist people, particularly those deemed 'at risk' or subprime. "I just like helping people. So I feel like when I have a customer that comes to me and they are in that weird spot of like a 550 to a 650, that can change overnight," she asserts. For Sadie, automotive sales are less about pitching a sale and more about "solving a problem," a notion that echoes throughout the interview. This empathetic approach transforms what could be a high-pressure sales interaction into a supportive experience for her clients, setting a standard for the industry. Harnessing AI for Enhanced Credit Analysis in Automotive Sales Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing how dealerships manage special finance operations. Sean Bradley emphasizes the potential of AI tools like ChatGPT in scrutinizing credit reports to advise clients effectively. "You can use, whether it's Claude or it's Google, Gemini or Chat GPT, or if your dealership has its own internal knowledge base, you could actually help Yourself and the prospect by using AI to analyze the credit bureau," Bradley affirms. The integration of AI doesn't stop at just analyzing credit. Sadie elaborates: "I've been doing this for about seven years. So I've learned what banks are looking for…and I've learned the nuances of how to get banks to overlook certain red flags if I can provide just the right context." With AI, sales professionals like Sadie can automate parts of the credit advice process, enhancing their ability to serve clients efficiently and improving the overall customer experience. In a competitive industry where the minutiae of financial history can make or break a sale, leveraging AI for credit analysis is a game-changer. It empowers car sales professionals to not only meet but exceed client expectations by providing insightful and actionable credit advice. Building a Personal Brand for Long-term Success in Automotive Sales Personal branding emerges as a powerful driver for success. Sadie Ahmed's journey evidences the power of building a personal brand rooted in reliability and expertise. Her mantra, "You incorporated," underlines the importance of self-belief and self-promotion. By leveraging social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok, Sadie creates a persistent presence, ensuring she remains top-of-mind for potential car buyers. Beyond digital interactions, Sadie highlights the value of community involvement. "I do sponsor a bunch of local events. I've sponsored some golf tournaments, base local baseball teams…," she shares, demonstrating her commitment to establishing relationships and goodwill within her community. This extends her brand's reach and cements her reputation as a trusted advisor, not just a salesperson. The world of automotive sales demands adaptability and innovative thinking. As Sadie Ahmed showcases, blending effective customer credit management with a robust personal brand paves the way for sustainable success. This approach, underscored by strategic engagement with global tech advancements such as AI, keeps industry professionals ahead of the curve. Ultimately, embracing a comprehensive understanding of client financial situations and utilizing technology not only transforms the customer experience but also empowers sales professionals to thrive in an ever-evolving market landscape.

Hello! My name is Marc Allie. I'm a teacher, blogger, author, and pretty much the biggest nerd you'll ever meet. As a longtime Video Store Podcast listener, I am thrilled to be a member of the staff. For our staff picks this week, I've got four recommendations from the varied career of Kurt Russell.Escape from New York (1981)Escape from New York is the film that cemented Kurt Russell's transition into a motion picture powerhouse. The film was directed by John Carpenter and was written by Carpenter and Nick Castle. The movie has a low budget, but it became a cult classic over time. Kurt Russell plays Snake Plisskin, a hardened but cool anti-hero that became an action icon.Used Cars (1980)Used Cars is a lesser known film. It was directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale, and produced by Steven Spielberg, so it's got quite a pedigree behind it. The movie, as you might expect, is about used cars. Two rival used car dealerships sit right across the highway from each other. Rudy Russo, Kurt Russell's character, works at the less reputable of the two car lots. His performance as a slick used car salesman shows off his comedic chops.Soldier (1998) Soldier was directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. Kurt Russell plays the “Soldier” of the title. His name is Todd 3465. That's right, he doesn't have a last name, only a number. Todd has been raised from birth to be an emotionless soldier. Todd is the best of the best, but when the “newer model” of soldier comes along, he's tossed out with the trash and has to make a new life for himself. Russell relies on his physical prowess as well as expressions and body language in this nearly wordless role.Executive Decision (1996)The last movie on our recommendations list is Executive Decision, an action thriller directed by Stuart Bird. The film mixes military action, espionage, and suspense to great effect. It's one of the better “Die Hard on an airplane” movies of the 1990s. Kurt Russell plays an intelligence analyst who is thrust into an impossible situation: board a plane filled with terrorists while it's already in the air.Thanks for coming into the store today.

Get ready for a hard-hitting episode of the Joe Concha Show where we tear down political theater, media hypocrisy, and the biggest delusions of the week! Tonight, Joe calls out NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's performative and completely impossible promise to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He blasts radical commentator Hasan Piker for proudly displaying a 9/11 newspaper on his podcast set and revels in the pure irony of The View's Sunny Hostin discovering her ancestors were slaveholders during a segment on reparations. Plus, Joe sounds the alarm on a New Jersey "software error" that put over 6,600 non-citizens on the voter rolls—and exposes how the mainstream media is trying to sweep it under the rug.
