WHAT GENERATES STRONG NUMBERSTHE BACKSTORY

• Monthly Payments: The magical $500.00 per month

• Dealing With Negative Equity: Being able to “Roll Over Deficiencies”

• Longer Loan Terms: The terms persist in getting longer, more widespread.

• Throttled Up: All manufacturers are being competitive.

• Big Data: Manufacturers using big data to laser focus incentives.

• Customers: Using the “incentives” to support the deficiencies.

• “Which manufacturer has an incentive on a model that suits our requirements, that we can roll over the trade, get a new vehicle, and keep on paying $500/month.”

OUR THOUGHTS ON THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2014

• Huge 3rd quarter…impressive and off the charts.

• Is MerBimAu cannibalizing sales with new models?

• We are disappointed by Ford.

• The new GM pick ups are finally gaining ground.

• When will the financing backlash occur?

• The segments remain hyper competitive.

• Every manufacturer will stay throttle up to the end of the year.

• On track to achieve new heights in sales.

• Expect judicious sales management during the last month.
