Dealers Must Know What to Keep, Discard By Ted Craig
Deal jacket reviews won’t prevent all compliance problems for a dealership, but they are an important tool. Deal jackets are a collection of documents pertaining to the sale of
ing the law that gives the consumer the most protection. O’Loughlin added that dealers must use proper disposal practices when they do get rid of documents. He also warned that documents must be accessible only by authorized personnel.

a car at a dealership. “They provide a window into overall compliance,� said attorney Tom Hudson of the Hudson Cook law firm. Hudson and other attorneys spoke at the recent National Alliance of Buy-Here, Pay-Here Dealers about what does and does not belong in a deal jacket. In many ways, knowing what to leave out is more important than knowing what to include. “I’ve reviewed deal jackets that look like rat’s nests,� Hudson said. One document that can be left out, and causes problems if it is included, is a record of the wholesale purchase of the car. Other problem documents are notes on the early negotiation process and any comments that seem like gloating. In addition to knowing what to leave out, dealers need to know how long they must keep certain documents. Terry O’Loughlin, director of compliance for Reynolds & Reynolds, advises not keeping documents any longer than is required. These requirements vary according to state and federal law. The lawyers recommend always follow-

Other problems arise when dealers include forms that their state bans, said attorney Nikki Munro, also with Hudson Cook. Munro said dealers too often include a document in their dealer jackets after hearing about it in a Twenty Group or other forum. Munro recommends buying documents from a reputable provider and then having them reviewed by an attorney who specializes in auto sales and financing. However, she warned that dealers need to take the time to read and fully understand what is in the documents. They can’t just leave that to the attorneys and the document publishers. “It’s really expensive not to care,� Munro said. One key element regulators look for in documents is readability, she said. “You don’t want a lot of legalese,� Munro said. “Consumers should be able to read and understand the documents.� The most crucial document in the jacket is the retail installment sales contract, O’Loughlin said. “This document represent a longterm relationship,� he said.

Wholesale Prices Hold Up, But Cars Keeps Coming By Ted Craig
Wholesale used vehicle prices increased in May, but the long-term trend remains for a decline in coming months. The Manheim Index – which adjusts for mix, mileage, and seasonality – rose to 124.5 from 122.8 in April. The large monthly rise, combined with weakness this time last year, resulted in a year-overTom year gain Webb – the first since December. The index stood at 123.8 in May 2015. Prices were even higher year-over-year on an unadjusted basis due to the share shift toward commercial consignment and lower average mileage for both dealer and commercial consignment. Auction prices for rental

risk units, adjusted for market class shifts and mileage, declined again in May. However, the year-overyear decline was substantially less than in either April or March. Manheim chief economist Tom Webb warned this relief for consignors would only be temporary. “Consecutive increases in the Manheim Index in April and May do not suggest a reversal in the expected downward trend in pricing as a result of higher wholesale supplies,” Webb said. “They do suggest, however, that dealers have continued to achieve efficiency gains that are allowing them to bid up auction prices even as gross margins narrow. “That’s encouraging to commercial consignors who have been expecting, and preparing for, greater weakness in wholesale pricing.” Speaking at the recent National Automotive Finance Association conference, Webb said he expects a drop, but not a collapse in wholesale prices.

Prices should move down by 1.6 percent, he said. This would mark the fifth consecutive year of price movement, up or down, of less than 2 percent. Wholesale prices in the past were very volatile. “Stability in wholesale prices is a good thing,” Webb said.

The manufacturers no longer flood the market with fleet cars or offer high incentives to keep factories going. Webb also said leading today is “leasing done right,” meaning with a focus on residuals. “Leases before were written thinking there would never be an end-of-term,”

Webb said. Even if done right, leasing is causing a lot of cars to come back to auction. Webb said the 3.1 million vehicles coming off-lease this year isn’t that high, but the 3.6-4 million in 2017 and 2018 “become a challenge even in the most favorable retail environment.”

Used Car Leasing’s Appeal Grows with Consumers Swapalease.com recently completed an online survey presented to more than 2,500 drivers across the U.S. to gauge their appetite for lease deals on used cars and trucks. Almost 79 percent of drivers said they would consider a deal on a used lease, and 74 percent of dealers indicated used lease offers may help, or definitely would help move the influx of leases coming back onto their lots. Three-quarters of drivers polled said they would want a monthly payment on a used car or truck lease priced 20 percent - 35 percent lower than the original payment on the same car as a new vehicle. More specifically, most people said they would expect a BMW 3 Series originally priced at $400 per month, to then be priced at $250 or $275 monthly as a threeyear-old lease. Conversely, 44 percent of dealers polled said they would offer a three-year-old lease at 25 percent – 35 percent off the original monthly payment as new. Only 21.1 percent of dealers said they feel warranty issues are important to shoppers considering a used car or truck lease. However, 95.3 percent of driv-
ers said they would expect a warranty to be offered on a used car or truck lease. Drivers said their top three choices for domestic cars and trucks as a used lease would be Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac CTS and Jeep Cherokee. Conversely, most dealers said they would want to offer used lease deals on a Buick Regal, Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Cruze. The majority of drivers feel more flexibility is needed overall in lease options. More than half of consumers said they would be interested in extending their lease between 6-12 months at lease end of the original term. Another 72 percent said they would be interested in transferring into a lease that was older than three years. Lastly, 37 percent of drivers said they would like to work with a dealer who could help them get out of their lease without penalty if it meant they could purchase or lease a new or different vehicle. Conversely, nearly half of dealers said they would like to make car shopping more like shopping for an iPhone, where consumers get a new smartphone every two years.
TOP CHOICE: The Cadillac CTS is a popular option for used-car leasing with both dealers and consumers. As more vehicles come back to market, dealers and finance companies are taking a new look at used-car leasing.

Captive Finance Arms Crank up Leverage Leverage for U.S. captive finance companies ticked up for the third consecutive year in 2015, to an average of 7.1 times versus 6.4 times in 2012. With many captives at or near their internal targets, leverage could climb higher if earnings growth moderates, according to a new report from Fitch Ratings. “Leverage rose slightly over the last year, and some captives could exceed internally-targeted levels, particularly in the auto space if there is performance pressure,” said Michael Taiano, director at Fitch. “Nevertheless, average leverage remains below levels observed pre-crisis.” Captives and their parent companies typically manage leverage ratios up or down through distributions or capital injections. In 2015, captives distributed a total of $1.6 billion in dividends, net of capital contributions, to their parents, up 1 percent from $1.58 billion in 2014. Fitch believes the stable levels of dividend distributions reflected a need to retain capital to support loan/lease growth, particularly for the auto captives. In a scenario where captive leverage increased beyond targeted levels, the parent could elect to reduce distributions or inject capital, which would be viewed positively from the perspective of the captive, but would reduce financial flexibility at the parent company level, all else equal. Normalizing credit performance and competitive pressure that compressed yields on new originations brought pre-tax profit margins down slightly to 28 per-
cent in 2015, from 30 percent in the prior year. Nonetheless, portfolio growth remained robust as sales for most captives returned to all-time highs. Fitch expects credit performance to normalize due to a modest loosening of underwriting standards, portfolio seasoning and lower recovery rates. Captive credit quality deteriorated in 2015, as average chargeoffs modestly increased by one basis point year over year to 0.65 percent, while 60-plus day delinquency rates increased to 0.60 percent from 0.54 percent over the same period. “Profitability will be challenging for captive finance companies in the second half of 2016 as competition intensifies and credit performance continues to normalize,” Taiano said. Short-term debt issuance as a percentage of total debt stabilized in 2014 and 2015, after increasing in 2013. Commercial paper funding for U.S. captives included in Fitch’s report represented 21 percent of total debt at year-end 2015, unchanged from 2014. Fitch cautions that over-reliance on short-term funding, particularly if not accompanied by committed third-party liquidity facilities, increases refinancing risk. The Rating Outlooks for all Fitch-rated U.S. captive finance companies are Stable following the revision of General Motors Financial Company, Inc.’s Outlook to Stable from Positive when its rating was upgraded to ‘BBB-‘ from ‘BB+’ on June 15, and Ford Motor Credit Co.’s Outlook to Stable from Positive when its rating was upgraded to ‘BBB’ from ‘BBB-‘ on May 27.

Longer Lasting Vehicles Change Auto Shopping Habits
Photo Credit: AutoMD
A new survey from AutoMD.com indicates that the lengthening vehicle ownership cycle is impacting vehicle purchasing. The survey, conducted online among over 1,000 vehicle owners, 59 percent of whom said they planned to purchase within six months, reveals that the majority are opting for a pre-owned vehicle, with three quarters saying that their purchase decision would be influenced by the cost of replacement parts.
And, while price trumped every other purchase decision factor, knowing a vehicle will last 10 years was the second most important influencer. In addition, these consumers want a good deal, with the majority defining a good deal as at or below invoice pricing – and they are opting for third party research sites and Google, not dealership websites, to make sure they get that deal. When asked what kind of vehicle they would purchase for their next
primary vehicle, only one in four say they plan to buy new; but 76 percent will purchase a pre-owned vehicle, and over half (55 percent) are opting for a vehicle that is more than two years old. And, confirming the lengthening buy cycle, 32 percent say their current primary vehicle is six years or older with 12 percent reporting that they are driving a vehicle that is over 10 years old. Seventy-four percent reported that replacement parts would be
a consideration when purchasing their next vehicle. Of those who said it was not a consideration, over half said it was because it either did not occur to them or that they did not know where to look for that information. For the rest, style/brand trumped replacement parts cost. When asked what would influence their vehicle decision most, price came first, but knowing that Continued on page 13

AUCTION HERITAGE AUCTION FAMILIES CARRY ON TRADITION OF SERVICE By Jeffrey Bellant
The auction industry may be global, but many auction companies are families that have spanned across more than one generation. Leaders from a couple of auctions shared their thoughts and memories about an industry that has been about both business and family. Bel Air Auto Auction Inc. in Maryland has a long history, opening first as a livestock auction in the early part of the 20th century and transitioned into an auto auction in 1947. It kept growing and was purchased in 1980 by Ray and Elaine Nichols along with Burt and Dottie Greenwood. Today, the Nichols family, which bought out the Greenwoods in 1993, is building a new location just seven miles from Bel Air’s
current site. The family hopes to open it by the end of the year or early 2017, weather permitting. The auction management team includes the Nichols grown children, Michelle and Charles. Elaine died in 2000. Michelle, who now serves as vice president, said she’s been involved in the auction since she was in kindergarten. Of course, it’s changed a lot since then. She said the technology is the most obvious, but there is also the increasing number of avenues in the wholesale pipeline. “There are so many ways for consignors and buyers to sell and purchase cars,” she said. The sale now has six lanes and runs between 1,800 and 2,000 cars each week. The new sale will have 10 lanes, Nichols said.
ALL IN THE FAMILY: Above, the Nichols Family (from left Charles, Michelle and Ray), pose with the Baltimore Orioles mascot. Below right, Bel Air Auto Auction sees action at its old facility. Columbus Fair, shown in the lower left, has also grown considerably from its early days. “We have a nice mix of fleet, institutional and dealer consignors,” she said. “We’ve all grown together.” Nichols said working with family has been fantastic. “We’re lucky we all get along well,” she said. “My nephew is even involved in the new auction as a project manager.” Nichols said the family is proud of her father and company Chairman Ray Nichols’ involvement in the industry, from AutoIMS to his induction in the National Auto Auction Association Hall of Fame. Charles Nichols, a board member of ServNet, is a winner of the Auctioneer of the Year award. So the family has served the industry well. “We like to see the indus-
try working together,” Michelle Nichols said. “It’s a great industry to be in.” She cited programs like the NAAA Warren Young Sr. Scholastic Foundation, which provides scholarships for employees, their children and grandchildren. “We actually had one of our employee’s daughters become a recipient,” Nichols said. “So that’s nice.” She has enjoyed how business groups like NAAA and ServNet can remain closeknit, despite the size of the industry. “If anybody ever needs anything, the industry has always been there to help,” she said. Nichols said, as far as the future is concerned, her
children come up and visit the auction during summer breaks and have shown some interest. “A lot of the online presence has piqued their interest,” she said. Columbus Fair Auto Auction’s Alexis Jacobs, chief executive officer, has won the National Auto Auction Association’s Industry Pioneer Award and is a member of the NAAA Hall of Fame. “My dad, William, started the auction in 1959,” Jacobs said. “He was somewhat of an entrepreneur his whole life, even being a bootlegger and a professional gambler for a while. Then he got attached to the car business and really liked it.” Continued on page 10

Jacobs would buy cars in Florida and send them to a dealer up in Columbus, Ohio. These were more highline cars like Porsches or Mercedes. “Another friend told him, ‘You need to get in the auction business,’â€? Alcxis said, “’all you have to do is sit back and count your money as it rolls in.’â€? But Alexis said the money actually did more rolling out than in during the first five years. The sale first opened in the Ohio agriculture building on the state fairgrounds in 1959, directly across from an established sale. “So we had our competition very close,â€? Alexis said. During that time, the auction was able to host “guest Chrysler Corporation sales.â€? At that time, Chrysler ran its cars regularly at other sales, but Jacobs’ auction got some occasional sales and, eventually, the auction received a full contract with the company. Later, the sale was able to partner with Ford Motor Co., too. “That was a big break for us,â€? she said. Columbus Fair moved into its present location in 1977. Bill Jacobs died in 1982, but would be pleased with the auction today, Alexis said. It now has 11 lanes and runs 2,000 to 2,100 cars on average. “My dad would have been happy with 100 or 150,â€? Alexis said with a laugh. It’s known for its scarlet and gray colors and Ohio State Buckeyes dĂŠcor. Alexis said being recognized by the OEMs and partnering for factory sales is one thing she is proud of. The other area is bringing new things to the industry. “We’ve tried to be innova-
tive and we have been,� she said. “We’ve shared ideas and technology with all of the auctions and independents especially.� She admits it can be a bit frightening in how the industry and technology are changing so rapidly. “We’re working hard not just to be in the curve but to stay ahead of the curve,� she said. Jacobs said one fond memory she had actually came in the wake of losing an account. She said it was during a time when some of the manufacturers were moving their accounts from independent auctions like Columbus Fair to the chain sales. “We knew we were going to lose the Ford sale,� she said. “We’d been doing business with the fellows from Ford for close to 20 years.� The Ford reps had asked Jacobs what they could do to make the transition easier, and she just asked them to give the auction a heads up on the timing. “Just stay with me as long as you can,� Jacobs said. She said how Jim Terry handled the departure reflected how different the business was back then. She said both parties felt like they were part of a family and I had been a wonderful relationship. “At that point, Jim Terry was the auction manager for Ford Motor Co. he got in his car to drive from Detroit to Columbus just to tell me when we were going to have our last sale,� she said. “He thanked me for all the business we’d done for him and I thanked him, of course.� Terry drove back to Detroit, but made one last gesture. “That afternoon I received two dozen red roses,� Jacob said.
State Orders Nearly 200 Refunds The Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities has issued an order against Dean M. Lake and D&M Auto Sales of York, Pa., to refund 194 consumers he overcharged and pay a fine of $430,000. Lake and his store were charged with unlicensed activity, charging of excess fees totaling $113,198.65, failure to accurately represent consumer down payments, and alteration of signatures and amounts, in violation of the Consumer Credit Code. The store was ordered to stop selling cars on retail installment. Lake is prohibited from engaging in the business of auto installment
sales in Pennsylvania for a minimum of five years. All buy-here, pay-here dealers in Pennsylvania must be licensed by the Department of Banking and Securities. In August 2015, the Banking Department got word from law enforcement agencies that D&M was being investigated for criminal fraud. The agencies had received numerous consumer compliants. The Banking Department started its own investigation and discovered 194 violations after inspecting 196 installment contracts. The investigation by law enforcement is ongoing.

In February, the academy launched a full schedule of its new Seminar Series, beginning with the Dealer Sales Session. Thirty dealer sales managers, from as many independent auctions, convened in the Nashville area for a day of training. The Spring Session in May, also held in Nashville, included 35 digital/Internet managers from independent auto auctions around the country, who met for presentations from and discussions about some
of the industry’s leading online platforms and service providers. Auction Academy’s Seminar Series offers sessions once per quarter focusing on specific disciplines within the auto auction business. This Spring Auction Academy also marked the graduation of Class Group 3 during the CAR Conference in Las Vegas, following the completion of its two-year curriculum. Class Group 4, the largest Auction Academy Group to date, met in Birmingham, Ala., in February for a session hosted at the AutoTec corporate headquarters with field trips to both ABC Birmingham and ADESA Birmingham.

Store Faces Lawsuit After Thief Crashes Vehicle FRESNO, Calif. (AP) – A Fresno used car dealership accused of allowing an auto thief to steal a car that caused a deadly crash has agreed to pay almost $1 million to the widow of a man killed in the collision. The Fresno Bee reports My Auto Maxx and its affiliate, Auto Maxx, agreed to the settlement with the wife of Earnest Grant, who was killed in 2013. But the car dealerships did not admit wrongdoing in Grant’s death.
The lawyer for Grant’s widow, Nicholas Wagner, contended during the two-day trial that My Auto Maxx’s manager and employees played a role in Grant’s death because even though they knew the keys to the car had been stolen they did little to prevent its theft days later. Walter Levon McDaniel led Fresno police on a high-speed chase in the stolen Infiniti. He ran several stop signs before slamming into Grant’s car, killing Grant instantly.

DETROIT (AP) – Electric carmaker Tesla Motors is denying allegations that there are safety problems with its vehicle suspensions. The Palo Alto, Calif., company says one of its cars had an abnormal amount of rust on a suspension part, a problem it hasn’t seen in any other car. On June 9, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it asked for information from owners and Tesla about Model S suspension failures. The agency has not opened a formal investigation. Tesla said in a statement June 10 that the Model S with the rust had over 70,000 miles on it and was caked in dirt when picked up for service. The company says it has given the agency all relevant information. NHTSA says it’s also concerned that Tesla has asked owners to sign nondisclosure agreements about safety issues. The agency says such agreements could prevent owners from reporting problems to the government. But Tesla also denied that. The company says it has asked customers to sign a “Goodwill Agreement” when it agrees to fix a problem that wasn’t the fault of the car. Those agreements make sure that repairing the car is not
used against the company in court, Tesla said. “This agreement never comes close to mentioning NHTSA or the government and has nothing to do with trying to stop someone from communicating with NHTSA,” Tesla’s statement said. In related news, Tesla Motors said recently that two upcoming software updates should fix persistent glitches with the futuristic rear doors on its Model X SUV. The Model X, which went on sale last fall, has “falcon-wing” doors that open upward and then swing out. Owners of the $80,000 SUV have complained that the doors don’t always open or close. Musk said software updates coming in June and July should fix the problem. “Finally we’ll be at the point where the doors are better than normal doors, as opposed to worse,” Musk said. Musk said the software that controls the doors has been difficult to refine, and Tesla should have saved some of its trickier features for future versions of the Model X. “This is definitely a case of getting overconfident,” he said. Tesla had delivered around 2,600 Model Xs at the end of the first quarter.

RETAIL MARKETS ILLINOIS
Ginger Higgins, office manager, Integrity Motor Cars, Rockford, Ill.: “Owner Mike Wells opened in 2011, but he and his father had run car lots prior to this. I’ve always been around people who worked on cars. “On average, we carry anywhere from 50 to 75 (units). “We sell about 25 per month. “We get all of our vehicles from auctions. We get them from Greater Rockford Auction, Evansville, Tri-State Auto Auction and Jefferson Mid-State Auto Auction. “We do a lot of buy-here, pay-here. It’s probably 90 percent. “The average down payment can be anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500. “For term lengths, we look at a year or a year-and-ahalf. We try to keep it down. “We use GPS. “Our average retail price is between $3,000 and $4,000. “In the winter we tend to carry more trucks and in the
summer we carry more cars. “We don’t deal with a lot of imports. It’s mostly GM products. “We do simple fixes like brakes or pads in-house. For more complex things we farm those out. “We’ve been doing a lot of advertising on cable. We have a salesman in our commercial. We were doing local stations for a while, but we weren’t seeing a lot of progress with those. We’re seeing more (response) with cable. “I try to run the website and Facebook page. But we have such a quick turnaround. We’ll try different things. We’ll see if they work and if they don’t we’ll change it. “We just got back from the National Alliance of Buy-Here, Pay-Here Dealers conference, so we heard lots of marketing ideas. One of the things I’m going to do is start (showing) videos of the cars. I’m going to start doing video tours of the cars.
“I thought that might be a good tool to use because you can’t see as much from just a photo. Going to these conferences is good because knowledge is power. I’m trying to share things I learned at the conference on Facebook. “One thing we do is (encourage) people to take the car to their own mechanic to check it out. A lot of places don’t allow that. I’d rather they know what they are getting.”
Compiled by Jeffrey Bellant “We’re selling about 55 per month. “We’re up about 5 percent for the year and May was up about 10 percent. Last June we sold 64 and we’re on pace to sell 64 this June. “I’m 100 percent buyhere, pay-here. We have our own (service) shop in a former new-car dealership. I have nine lifts for my mechanic shop. I have a full body shop and I employ seven full-time techs, service writers and all that. We also do outside business. “The profit on the outside business pays for my reconditioning costs on both my (regular inventory) and repossessed vehicles. Most people don’t know how profitable it could be. “We are selling a better vehicle to a more qualified customer. “Everything I’ve learned has come out of my twenty group. “My average down payment is about $580 and the average term length is 36 months.

The average mileage was 111,000. “We use starter-interrupts and GPS. We use Ituran. You get what you pay for. I can’t even tell you the last time we had a failure. “(Inventory) is about 65 percent domestic and 35 percent import. “About 40 percent are SUVs and vans right now. “Our average reconditioning costs are $359 for my repos and $678 for our (nonrepos). I think it ends up averaging $580. “(The reason why the repo recon is lower) is that we sell a service contract. In order to keep that service contract in place, they have to change the oil in accordance with the factory recommendation. “We recently sold a 2008 GMC Envoy, with 112,776 miles and I sold it for $10,265.”

WHOLESALE MARKETS ALABAMA
Jim Clark, general manager, Center Point Auto Auction, Birmingham, Ala.: “We’re just a small auction. We’ve been in business since 1993. We’re members of the National Auto Auction Association. “We just have one lane. Our volumes are pretty consistent – almost year round. (One recent sale) we ran 124 and sold 92. Most of the time we do better than that (sales percentage). We’ll do 85 to 90 percent. “We run mostly new-car trade-ins, about 90 percent. The gentleman who owns (the auction) has about 16 dealerships, so we get all of his trades. “We also have some independent (trades). “We also have repossessions. We might run 10 repos. But we don’t have enough room (for fleetlease). “On average, we’ll have 85 buyers. On a good week, we’ll have 100 and on a bad
sale we’ll have 68. “We also do things a little differently. We’ll let the dealers start it. We’ll just let them start the bidding wherever they want to. So on a $10,000 car, they might start it at $5,000 or $6,000, but then you’ll have 10 guys bidding on it all of the sudden. “But guys say that cars bring more here than other auctions. “They bring top dollar here. We’ll draw bidders from an 80-mile radius. “We also run an in-op sale every other week. We probably average 18 to 20 in-ops. That’s typical. It’s the first week and the third week. “The repos mostly come from Heritage Repo. “With our regular sale, each individual dealer handles his own cars. We have a Toyota dealer that sold 1,155 cars here last year. “Retail business here has been slowing down, but we’re steady. “Our average price across the block is about $4,300.”

David Blake, general manager, DAA Seattle, Auburn, Wash.: “We just celebrated our three-year anniversary on May 20. “We have six lanes and we just purchased eight additional acres. We’re working on those and a couple of acres that were unfinished on the main lot. We’re in the process – the permits are received – starting construction on Sept. 1. “We just renovated the offices internally and we’ve created some more space. We’re also working on a whole new face to the front of the building and a new awning. (The front part) should be done by the end of June. It’s been an exciting time for us. “Volume has been steady. During our anniversary sale, we ran 900 units. We had the most bidders that we ever had in the lanes and we had a 70 percent sales percentage. “It was a great sale.

Compiled by Jeffrey Bellant
“On average, our volumes have been 600 to 650 units and our sales percentage has been in the mid-60s. “Spring market has fallen off a little bit. But we’ve been fortunate with some new accounts – partnerships we’ve established. One is America Honda Finance. “For example, we’re having our first Honda sale on July 8. “Honda should bring in 200 units a month. “We were also awarded a GSA contract. We received our first task order for that. We should see north of 2,000 units between now and September. Our first GSA sale is June 24. “We’ll schedule as the vehicles are received. The normal process is a monthly deal. “Overall, we’re running 20 percent fleet-lease. I would guess it will go up to 35 percent – on the low side – with the Honda sale. “We’re drawing 450 to 500 (bidders).
“We hear a lot of good stuff from dealers. As far as their market, it’s strong. Seattle is a thriving economy. You have a lot of major industries and companies in this area. You have Microsoft, Costco and Starbucks. Amazon just built a huge facility. Google has a presence and Boeing. “There is so much growth and opportunity, the car dealer has a great future here. “As an independent auction, being full-service in this market area and with the relationships we’ve established, people like doing business with us. “Even though summer is when you start to see some of the volume drop off, we’ve got some of the largest accounts we’ve ever done business with that are sending us vehicles and guaranteeing us vehicles. “We use Auction Pipeline and recently developed an online sales department so we have support internally.”

competitors, even in the ring. The audiences too, attending bouts would typically dress in black tie especially if you were lucky enough to get ringside seats.

couldn’t say his name without a grimace that would frighten Frankenstein. This was in the early ‘60s when, as Londoners, we saw him as a loudmouthed, Yankee braggart. He was new to the British boxing scene and most boxers in those days were quite gentlemanly – after all, the Marquess of Queensbury, a Scottish nobleman around the turn of the 19th century, largely defined the rules of the ring. A high level of personal decorum was expected of
USED CAR NEWS
I remember a Motor Trade Association evening of dinner and boxing at the Savoy Hotel at The Strand in London, dressed to the nines at a ringside table. I had just been served a magnificent Dover sole when a Welsh lightweight boxer’s mouth guard landed right in the middle of my plate. His second came and apologized and a waiter brought me a fresh serving. So when Cassius Clay came around telling everyone, not just how good he was, but that
he was “The Greatest” had to be seen as outrageous. Heavyweights in those days were lighter than they are now and fights were usually fast-paced. Many see today’s bulked up competitors as much slower and less exciting. Britain’s favorite boxer back then was Henry Cooper – a quiet Londoner who, whilst left-handed, wasn’t a true ‘southpaw’ – he lead with his left hand and had a left hook that was a bit like an uppercut too. It was referred to as ‘enry’s ‘ammer. It was this blow that first brought Cassius Clay down in a fight that was the first of two meetings between them. It was controversial because Clay’s trainer, Angelo Dundee, used smelling salts to help bring Clay around; a clear violation of the rules that allowed no stimulants but water. He also tore Clay’s glove so extra time was taken to change it, allowing Clay to revive and later win the fight. Their second meeting was a resounding win for, then, Muhammad Ali. Our dislike gradually turned

to respect as his ‘Ali Shuffle’ and agility took him to many wins, especially against the giant of a man, Sonny Liston, and others like George Foreman and Joe Frazier who Ali referred to as “The greatest boxer in the world – after me!” His conversion to Islam was, at first, seen by many as another attention-getting maneuver, possibly even to avoid the draft as a conscientious objector. He stuck to his convictions in spite of being stripped of his winning titles. He became a notable figure of pride for the civil rights movement. Over the years and in spite of the debilitating Parkinson’s disease, he became one of the sincerest public figures in recent history. There are a myriad of stories about his charitable ways and demeanor. His clever skill with words turned from trash talk to heart-warming and uplifting
encouragement for thousands of people. Sir Michael Parkinson, a famous TV chat show host in England said, “He was the most extraordinary man I’ve ever met, it’s difficult to think of another person who was his equal.” Their mutual admiration was obvious over several meetings and audiences were glued to their TVs. I write this on the day of his memorial service and much eulogizing will be forthcoming from all sorts of luminaries and leaders as well as President Clinton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. To me, one word sums up Muhammad Ali – genius. Genius at any level or undertaking whether it was from his athleticism or writing a personal letter in response to a fan on the other side of the world. He would have made a great politician.

Compiled by Jeffrey Bellant
SALE CELEBRATES 73 YEARS
RECON ON: Manheim executives and local officials cut the ribbon on Manheim Darlington’s new reconditioning center.
Manheim Darlington celebrated its 73rd anniversary with the opening of its new 48,000-squarefoot retail solutions facility on May 25. Featuring 32 lifts, two four-car paint booths and a state-of-the-art Enhanced Vehicle Imaging Suite, this facility expands the auction’s
services to now offer both wholesale and retail services to dealers. Retail services include post-sale inspection, professional vehicle imaging, and retail quality mechanical, detailing and reconditioning services. Along with options for merchandising, titling, financing, trans-
portation and purchase protection, these services help dealers get their newly purchased inventory retail ready before leaving the auction location. These offerings help dealer clients shorten vehicle turn time and reduce overhead by lowering personnel and fixed costs. “Manheim is reimagining and broadening the auction experience,” said Danny Brawn, Manheim Darlington general manager. “Dealers told us they no longer want the hassle of preparing used vehicles for sale after they buy them at auction. In response, Manheim developed its Retail Solutions offering and is pleased to launch these services at Manheim Darlington.” Evolving from Clanton’s Auto Auction, the business held its first one-lane sale in 1943, has been in its current location since 1948, and became a Manheim site in 1991.
Auctions Adopt NAAA Standards Canada’s auto auctions will officially implement a national uniform system of standards to ensure consistency and accuracy in the certification of wholesale used vehicles. Adoption of the National Certification Standard (NCS), pioneered by the NAAA, will make the program accessible to the association’s entire North American membership while benefiting the remarketing industry overall. The program offers three quality levels - Platinum, Gold and Silver - to manage the requirements of a broad range of vehicle types. A checklist of 48 basic criteria provides a clear system that addresses vehicle selection, with well-defined requirements for inspection, reconditioning, and marketing. NCS guidelines are available in English and French (as well as Spanish) on NAAA’s website – naaa. com.
