Table of Contents McConkey Auction Group ........................... 2
Economists are predicting that about 85% of US households will be seeing an increase in take-home pay with the new tax code this year. This increase in income combined with an enticing selection of newer vehicles available at auction will lead to higher trafic on dealer’s lots.
Publisher’s Letter / Table of Contents ........ 3
There have been many changes in this industry in the 23 years Used Car News has been publishing, but one thing remains unchanged: the auction industry’s dedication to dealers.
AutoNation .................................................. 5
From the reconditioning crews to the auctioneers, the committed staffs at the auctions featured in our Spring 2018 Auctions Across America have been working hard to get ready for this season, both in the lanes and online. Lynda Thomas Publisher
