Clauss Takes Over NAAA Presidency And Charleston Named Auction Of Year
LA QUINTA, Calif. - ADESA Buffalo general manager Warren Clauss officially took over as National Auto Auction Association president at the organization’s 69th annual convention in La Quinta, Calif. last week, held in conjunction with the National Remarketing Conference during Used Car Week. Serving with Clauss on the executive board for the 20172018 term is president-elect Chad Bailey and vice president Laura Taylor.
Clauss has served in executive leadership positions at NAAA for more than a decade. Prior to his election as vice president in 2015, he served as president of the Eastern Chapter from 2004 to 2005, sat on the association’s board of directors between 2006 to 2008 and again from 2013 to 2014. “It’s been extremely rewarding to serve the NAAA in those positions, building relationships and working together for the mutual benefit of our members and the
industry,” Clauss said in a news release. “I thank the members for their trust and support and look forward to serving them as their president.” Clauss joined the ADESA Buffalo team as controller in 1992. In 1994, he took on the role of assistant general manager and became the general manager just two years later. He is the longest-running general manager at any of ADESA’s 77 auctions, according to NAAA.
Angelicchio Inducted Into NAAA Hall Of Fame By: A Dealer’s Journal Staff
Retired Pittsburgh Independent Auto Auction chairman and chief executive officer Dave Angelicchio was also inducted into the NAAA Hall of Fame at this year’s convention. Angelicchio is recognized for his service in various executive positions at NAAA, including president, chairman of the board and treasurer, earned him the honor. In addition to encouraging the
establishment of standards for arbitration, wholesale certification and electronic condition reports, Angelicchio’s initiatives centered on streamlining operations, forging strategic partnerships and creating standards. Accomplishments of Angelicchio include overseeing the first joint NAAA/CAR Conference, spearheading the agreement to combine NAAA’s annual convention with the National Remarket-
ing Conference, and the major restructuring of the association’s four autonomous zones into chapters, according to NAAA. Angelicchio became chairman and chief executive of Pittsburgh Independent Auto Auction in 1996. He continued to work in that position until the family business was bought by ADESA in March 2015.
Brasher Receives ‘Industry Pioneer’ Distinction By: A Dealer’s Journal Staff
In addition to Angelicchio, the NAAA honored former owner and chief executive officer of West Coast Auto Auctions Larry F. Brasher with its Industry Pioneer Award for his achievements and contributions to the remarketing profession at NAAA’s 69th annual convention. Brasher is notably the first son of a former NAAA president and Hall of Fame member to hold the same office. Brasher was elected president in 1989 and inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005. His father served as president from 1973 to 1974 and entered the NAAA Hall of Fame in 1987. NAAA’s Industry Pioneer Award recognizes individuals who have inno-
www.adealersjournal.biz
vated or enhanced methods of improving services to remarketers through NAAA member auctions. “During his more than a quartercentury in the wholesale vehicle remarketing industry, Brasher oversaw such advancements as expanded video sales, developing the Auction Viewmaster System in 1995 that allowed all vehicles — regardless of size or location — to go on the block, including boats and RVs, NAAA said in a news release. In 1987, Brasher was one of the founders of the ServNet Auction Group which created a network of independent auto auctions strategically located throughout the country that work together to provide the latest in
services and technologies. Before earning a business management degree from the University of Utah in 1972, Brasher grew up working at, Salt Lake City Auto Auction, which his father founded in their in 1949. Brasher made the decision to join his father full-time after graduating from law school in 1975. Following the acquisition of Sacramento Auto Auction in 1978, Brasher and his wife Anne relocated to California and he became sole owner of that auction in 1987. West Coast Auto Auctions was formed following acquisitions in Oregon, Nevada, Idaho and New Mexico. Continued On Page 8

Ally Adds ClearGuard Protection To All Dealer Vehicles Sold On SmartAuction DETROIT, MI -- Ally Financial today announced that ClearGuard, which provides protection coverage of up to $2,500, is now standard on all eligible vehicles dealers sell through SmartAuction, Ally’s online wholesale vehicle auction platform. The additional protection means dealers using SmartAuction can avoid the unexpected cost, time and trouble of arbitration for minor damage or misrepresentations. “Dealers want to sell their vehicles without worrying about the cost and hassle of a potential arbitration case over minor damage that might have been missed at inspection and our buyers want to be sure they are getting the vehicles in the condition they thought they were getting,” said Steve Kapusta, vice president, Specialized Asset Management for Ally. “With ClearGuard, we’re able to inimize the risk by protecting dealers on most items that lead to disputes and arbitration.” There is no fee for auto dealers to post a vehicle on SmartAuction, but once it sells, a standard $200 fee is charged and ClearGuard is automatically included. Nearly all dealer-owned passenger cars and trucks with a sales price of less
than $75,000 are eligible for the ClearGuard coverage. With ClearGuard, all arbitration claims up to $2,500 would be covered. Standard arbitration guidelines apply to all ineligible vehicles and claims over $2,500. SmartAuction worked with the Ally
Insurance team to develop the ClearGuard protection product. “This is another benefit of having the breadth of products and expertise that Ally offers,” said Doug Timmerman, president of Ally Insurance, which delivers the ClearGuard coverage. “We listened to dealers, and with an unrelenting focus, found a way for our SmartAuction and Insurance teams to develop a product that helps dealers and enables vehicles to move through the sales process
faster.” About Ally Financial Inc. Ally Financial Inc.

Auto Auction Of The Year And More By: A Dealer’s Journal Staff
In other auction news, Charleston Auto Auction was named the NAAA’s 2017 Auto Auction of the Year for Excellence in Community Service for supporting a local high school principal’s dream creating of a residence for homeless students. The Charleston County School District nominated the auction for its efforts to help support 21 homeless students at R.B. Stall High School. After seeing a news story on TV about Project H.O.M.E., a proposed project to house several homeless high schoolers with surrogate parents who would provide stability and consistency, Charleston Auto Auction assistant general manager Jason Moritz wanted to help, ac-
cording to NAAA. Along with a large crystal loving cup, the award includes a $20,000 check payable to a charity of the auction’s choice and a feature in both NAAA’s On The Block magazine and 2018 membership directory. Earlier this year, as one of four regional finalists to receive the NAAA Chapter Auction of the Year Award, Charleston Auto Auction had previously won a $5,000 check for charity. Additionally, the Midwest Chapter earned the NAAA PAC Cup Award, Melinda Dykstra earned the Distinguished Service Award and Dean Fusami was recognized as the Bernie Hart Auctioneer of the Year.

What are the advantages of blockchain technology? Vladimir Lupenko: Putting the entire history of a vehicle from the moment it comes off the factory floor to the moment it is recycled in the junkyard on a blockchain creates a wide gamut of advantages for car owners and automotive industry players. For example, to name a few it increases resale value of vehicles; it allows auto manufacturers to increase efficiency of warranty
services and reduce warranty costs; it allows insurers to save on claim management costs; it creates transparency in collision repair between insurers and repair shops. It also creates transparency in car ownership costs and leverages transparency to reduce maintenance costs for fleet owners. ADJ: What services does CarFix provide? Lupenko: CarFix is a comprehensive ecosystem that includes repair shops, spare parts distributors, fleet managers, car manufacturers, dealers. A consumer or a fleet owner can use their respective applications to obtain trans-

Lithia Motors Acquires Armory Car Dealership
ALBANY, NY — One of the Capital Region’s oldest car dealerships has been acquired by Lithia Motors, an Oregon-based automotive retailer. Armory Garage on Central Avenue in Albany will keep its name and current leadership, the dealership said in a statement. Armory carries Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat vehicles. Founded by Anthony Metzner in 1918, the automotive business was originally located on Sherman Street in Albany at a time when cars were stored in the winter and people opted to use a horse and buggy instead. In the 1920s, the business
relocated to a five-story building on Central Avenue. The cars were displayed behind floor-toceiling windows on every floor, a then-novel approach to exhibiting vehicles. The dealership expanded after World War II and moved to a showroom at the corner of Colvin and Central avenues in 1949. The showroom, which allowed Armory to display 200 cars in a 35,000-square-foot facility, helped earn the dealership recognition from Automotive News a decade ago as one of the most innovative car dealerships in the nation. Anthony’s son, Stanley Metzner, ran the dealership for more than 60 years. In 2015, his son Donald Metzner became CEO
and the elder Metzner became CEO emeritus. He passed away in December. “Much like Armory Garage, Lithia began as a family enterprise, deeply rooted in local communities,” Armory said in a statement. “Lithia and Armory Garage express confidence that this transaction is an ideal blend of shared values and a strong culture of providing exceptional customer service.” With the acquisition of Armory, Lithia Motors now operates 168 stores in 18 states.
IHS Markit Observations And Commentary Ahead Of Lamborghini Urus Launch Ian Fletcher, Principal Automotive Analyst, IHS Markit By: A Dealer’s Journal Staff
The Lamborghini Urus expected to launch on Monday the 4th of December and will be the Italian supercar brand’s long-awaited entry in to the luxury crossover segment. Although this is not a category the brand is known for its involvement in, other brands have gained significant benefits from expanding in to this previously non-traditional category. Indeed, global crossover and SUV sales have grown from 7.93 million units during 2006 to 26.47 million units during 2016, and IHS Markit anticipates that by 2020, sales will reach 34.34 million units. The upper echelons of this category have also been beneficiaries in recent years, with IHS Markit seeing global sales at the upper end growing from just 4,700 units in 2010 to almost 21,000 units during 2016 underpinned by the Mercedes G-Class and Bentley
Bentayga. However, we also expect to see this expand to a near-term peak of around 29,300 units during 2020 thanks to the entry of further new models including the Aston Martin DBX, Rolls-Royce’s ‘High Sided Vehicle’ and of course the Lamborghini Urus. Early indications from the brand’s pre-launch marketing activity indicates that in terms of appearance, the Urus will not be that far removed from the concept, with a similar angular appearance as the Huracan and Aventador supercars. The company has also sought to highlight that it will meet the customer expectations in terms of performance and handling dynamism, although a ‘Corsa’ driving mode. However, it has also shown that it will feature driving modes that give it capabilities in off-tarmac situations such as snow or sand. This could make it particularly appealing in mar-
kets where its sports cars are less suitable. IHS Markit expects that global sales of this model will peak at around 2,900 units per annum (upa) during 2019 and 2020 once this model is fully up to speed. At this point, it will make up around 50% of the brand’s total sales. As well as attracting existing owners, it is also highly likely to attract new customers to the brand which may not have been able to justify buying one of the brand’s less practical models. Production of the Urus will take place at Lamborghini’s historic Sant’Agata factory, although significant investment has been undertaken to boost capacity and bring its manufacture to this location. We also see this model featuring a turbocharged 4.0-litre V-8 engine from launch, but will be joined by a plug-in hybrid in the years to come.

parent and most cost efficient repair and maintenance services. Manufacturers can monitor the dealers’ maintenance pricing policies and ensure their adherence to manufacturer’s suggested retail prices. Repair shops and dealers receive pre-paid customer flow that generate spare part order flow for spare part distributors. ADJ: What is the technology behind the service? Lupenko:The CarFix ecosystem is build on a proprietary software that provides interfaces for the ecosystem participants to transact with one another seamlessly. This application layer software will be overlaid on top of the Vehicle Lifecycle Blockchain that we are creating and that will be financed by the proceeds from the ICO. ADJ: How long did the platform take to develop? Lupenko:In this time period we
have served over 300,000 customers. ADJ: Please explain about the Vehicle Lifecycle Blockchain (VLB) token. How does it differ to other tokens? Lupenko:VLB Tokens are utility tokens that will be used by the ecosystem participants to record transactions on the blockchain and gain access to the encrypted information stored on the blockchain. VLB Tokens’ value is underpinned by the quantifiable value of benefits outlined in question a). For example, car manufacturers can save up to 30% of their warranty costs through increased warranty service efficiency. That is over $120 per car! Insurers can save over $100 per client on claim management, which is the single biggest operating cost line item. Repair shops and dealers can save around $50 on customer acquisition costs. These savings
represent VLB Token appreciation potential from the ICO price of $0.50 per VLB Token. ADJ: How have you partnered with different service providers? Lupenko:We have a business development team led by the former business development director of Uber that focuses on expanding the CarFix ecosystem. ADJ: What has been the response from consumers? Lupenko:300,000 customers served, plus 500 repair shops, 10 major spare parts distributors, fleet managers with over 2 million cars. ADJ: What other types of technology interest you? Lupenko:We are wholeheartedly focused on launching Vehicle Lifecycle Blockchain and making CarFix the first successful use case, which will generate demand for VLB Tokens on day 1 of blockchain deployment.

Cont: Motorsport Aftermarket Group Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proximately $300 million in debt through a debt for equity exchange supported by in excess of 90 percent of the principal amount of the company’s prepetition first lien secured lenders, and its assetbacked lenders. “Through this process, which we have been working very hard on with our key lenders to accomplish over the past month, we will de-lever our balance sheet allowing us to more effectively compete in today’s evolving powersports market. MAG’s businesses will continue to operate unaffected and the company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations. Customer service and sales will continue, employees will receive wages and benefits as before, and vendors and suppliers will be paid in the ordinary course of business going forward,” said CEO Andrew Graves. To implement the recapitalization, the company and certain of its affiliates have filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the District of Delaware. The company expects to move through the process quickly, and emerge in the first quarter 2018 as a stronger, better capitalized and competitive company. To support operations through
this process, MAG has secured up to $135 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing from certain of its current secured lenders. “The U.S. Powersports market has been in persistent decline for the past few years. In response, MAG has been working diligently to adjust to the changing landscape and has implemented many initiatives to parallel today’s market. Unfortunately, the company’s long-term debt continues to be an impediment to success,” added Graves. “As such, we believe that by availing the company to the Chapter 11 process, MAG has chosen the most efficient and expeditious way to right-size our balance sheet for the long term so that we remain an industry leader for many years to come. We and our key creditors are committed to what will hopefully be a short bankruptcy case.” Key elements of the recapitalization: • Employee wages and benefits will be paid in full in the ordinary course without interruption. • Customer orders will be fulfilled consistent with past practice without delay or disruption. • Vendors and suppliers will be paid timely and in full going forward. • Company will emerge with new owners and a new board of
directors. Monomoy Capital Partners, BlueMountain Capital and Contrarian Partners will lead the new owners group, and have deep experience in consumer products and lifestyle companies including distribution, retail and manufacturing. “We are encouraged to have access to the resources the new owners bring, by their passion for the powersports industry, and for their shared vision for MAG’s future. Looking forward, MAG will be able to more aggressively capitalize on market and growth opportunities given our strong balance sheet post recapitalization,” said Graves. “Importantly, MAG is very appreciative of its employees who have remained committed and professional during what has been a challenging few years. Moreover, we are grateful to our valued vendors and suppliers who have remained our partner, and we thank our customers who continue to trust and rely on us. We look forward to continuing to work together for many years to come,” added Graves. Proskauer Rose LLP and Cole Schotz P.C. are serving as legal counsel and AlixPartners LLP is serving as financial advisor to MAG.

Goodyear and NASCAR’s six decades of partnership is one of the longest-running sponsor programs in any sport. In addition, Goodyear has been the exclusive tire supplier for the sanctioning body’s top three series since 1997. “We proudly join Goodyear in celebrating our renewed and longstanding partnership,” said Brent Dewar, NASCAR president. “For more than half a century, NASCAR and our teams have trusted Goodyear tires. Our partners’ commitment to innovation and excellence plays a key role in our unyielding pursuit to deliver the best racing product in the world.” From the introduction of the radial tire to NASCAR in 1989 to multi-zone tread design in 2013, Goodyear and NASCAR have consistently innovated to deliver compelling racing.
