Score A Big Deal At Frank Myers Auto

How To Score A Deal: Buy A Car In January

Many people believe that the end of the year is the best time to buy a car. Car dealers are trying to meet year-end quotas and get rid of leftover inventory to make room for newer models. While this is sometimes true, one local car dealer is vowing to buck the trend.
“Everybody thinks the best time to buy a car is at the end of the year so that makes January a notoriously slow month for me. That’s a huge problem for me. What happens in January sets the pace and tone for the rest of the year and I want a big kick-off for the New Year to create momentum for the coming months,” explains Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx.
Myers isn’t going to let buying trends dictate the success of his business or how he starts the year. Myers is going to do whatever it takes to break the trend and start 2012 off with a bang. So he’s created an innovative plan for Winston Salem residents to save big at the beginning of the year and not have to until the end of the year to drive the nicer, newer car they really want.
“If you didn’t get a nicer, newer car for the holidays and don’t want to wait a whole year to get a great deal, I have good news,” says Myers.
“I’ve created my Big Kick-Off Bonus Event, making January one of the best times of the year to buy a car. To get the big kick-off I’m looking for we need to sell 115 cars this month and we’re pulling out ALL the stops to make it happen.”

Kick Off The New Year In A Nicer, Newer Car

During the Big Kick-Off Bonus Event, Frank Myers Auto Maxx will pay up to $4,397 more than your old cars appraised value regardless of what it’s actually worth. It doesn’t matter how old your car is, or what kind of condition it’s in or how many miles are on it. During this special sale, Frank Myers Auto Maxx will take your car in on trade and give you up to $4,397 more than its worth.
No matter what you car is worth you will get at least $4,397.00 more than its appraised value and higher quality cars can be worth much, much more.
Or, if you don’t have a car to trade, you can choose a Big Kick-Off After Christmas Bonus and receive up to $2,500 to help pay off the bills from the holidays!
“This month, we’re not discriminating against ugly, rusted or busted vehicles. As I said, we’re pulling out all the stops to make January an amazing time to buy a car, so we’ll take any car you’ve got and we’ll give you up to $4,397 more than its worth. Age doesn’t matter. Condition doesn’t matter. Mileage doesn’t matter. Whatever you’re driving, I want. I just need to create momentum for my staff,” raves Myers.

Score Big Even A Low Credit Score

In addition to giving up to $4,397 more than any old trade is worth, Frank Myers Auto Maxx management have promised that credit scores will not be the only factor considered when making a decision on who drives away in a nicer, new car this month.
Every customer will be offered a trade-in bonus regardless of past credit history. And if you do choose to buy a nicer, newer vehicle this month, your past credit problems don’t have to stand in your way.
“With my Everybody Rides Program, we’ll match you with the lender most likely to approve you today. Like a good quarterback we know who to call in and what plays to run for every credit scenario.  My guys are Super Bowl caliber players when it comes to matching customers and lenders together,” Myers explained.

Why You Win At Frank Myers Auto

When asked why he would be willing to make such a valuable offer and pay up to $4,397 more than the appraised value of any old trade, even for cars that are worth nothing, Myers responded, “Momentum. I want to start the year off with a winning streak. It always helps everybody get in a positive frame of mind and that’s important in a business like mine.”
“Plus, I believe everyone deserves to drive a nicer, newer car and no one should drive an unreliable car or a car they hate. Who comes out ahead? The customer comes out ahead, and that’s how it should be.”
Some important facts you should know:
· It’s completely free to have your personal situation evaluated by the experts at Frank Myers Auto Maxx and to take advantage of the Big Kick-Off Bonus Event.
· Your car will be worth up to $4,397 more than the appraised value…regardless of age, mileage or condition.
· Some vehicles with higher trade values may command much more.
· Looking’s always free. There’s absolutely no obligation to buy a car when you visit Frank Myers Auto Maxx.
· There will never be any high-pressure tactics involved.
· This offer is good until close of business on January 31st  or after Frank Myers Auto Maxx has sold 115 cars.
Myers says, “There are no games here. I believe everyone deserves to drive a nicer, newer car and never be stuck in a car they hate. So come on in, and take advantage of my Big Kick-Off Bonus Event… and get one of the best values of the entire year, even if you’ve had credit problems in the past.”

Film Spotlights American Dream

Posted on by

(This article first appeared in Used Car News and was written by Jeffrey Bellant)

National Quality Dealer Tracy Myers and his Frank Myers Auto Maxx dealership in North Carolina are the focus of an Emmy Award winning film team’s latest project.

“Car Men“, which had a black- tie premiere Nov. 17, tells the story of the dealership, which began as a general store 80 years ago.

A wider release is expected on Dec. 2, followed by a DVD release early next year, Myers said.

Myers is well versed in different types of media. In addition to writing the dealership’s blog, he has written newspaper articles and appeared on national television outlets, like Fox Business News and The History Channel, representing car dealers.

In late 2010, Myers appeared on motivational guru Brian Tracy’s syndicated television show.

He discussed the used- car business and the dealership’s history.

A producer from the show was so intrigued by the segment, he asked Myers if he would be interested in being part of a documentary about the business.

“ I didn’t think anything of it,” Myers said.

But the producer visited the lot, learned about how the dealership operates and convinced Myers take part in the documentary.

The production team came down a few months ago, interviewed family members and filmed for several days, Myers said.

Nick Nanton, the show’s producer, also helped make “Jacob’s Turn,” an Emmy Award-winning short film about a child with Down’s Syndrome playing on a teeball team.

Myers said once he’d heard that the production team won an Emmy, he figured they wouldn’t be interested in coming down to shoot the film about the dealership.

But they were still excited. “My wife and I are the only two people who have watched the finished project ( prior to the premiere),” Myers said. “ I know I’m partial, but I think it’s pretty amazing.

“ It’s an awesome legacy piece for my kids and grandkids. And for the industry, which I love. It shows the good side of what we do and the community side. It shows the heart and the hours that we put into it.”

Myers said he had an earlier offer from a different company to do a reality show, but it fell through.

The problem was how they wanted to portray the dealership and family.

“At every turn, they wanted to make us look like idiots,” Myers said.

He told them he wanted something positive, inspirational and motivational.

“ I have no problem with being funny and working our quirks into it, because we are quirky, ” Myers said. “ But you’re not going to make us look like a bunch of rednecks.”

Myers feels the documentary got it right.

“It’s a touching story about family, small business and the American dream.”

About “Car Men” – The Movie

He’s gone on TV dressed up as a giant pickle. Nowadays, you’ll see him most often sporting a giant red, white and blue Uncle Sam hat. Tracy Myers may play outrageous to sell cars – but this best-selling author, nationally-recognized entrepreneur, and devoted family man is dead serious when it comes to building a business he, his family and his city can be proud of.

“Car Men” details the touching and occasionally hilarious story of how the Myers men created a car business that’s known all across America for its successful out-of-the-box thinking – not to mention its off-kilter TV commercials, featuring such quirky characters as Uncle Frank and Chainsaw Charlie.

As one auto pro says, “In the car business, Tracy Myers is who everybody wants to be.” Watch “Car Men” and you’ll find out why.

Frank Myers Auto Maxx Brings Back Black Friday Deals In Winston-Salem

Posted on by

For the second year in a row, Frank Myers Auto Maxx has once again created a surge of excitement among Winston-Salem residents. Beginning November 25th at 10:00AM, they’ll be offering Day-After-Thanksgiving specials that will end at 4:30pm on November 27th.

The day after Thanksgiving has long been the biggest shopping day of the year…and for good reason. Many retailers create irresistible incentives for shoppers to buy early in the morning. But Myers rejects the idea. “I don’t think it’s right to make people wake up before the sun rises and stand in line to get a great deal. So I’ve decided to make ‘Black Friday’ deals available for the entire weekend.”

Here’s how “Black Friday” Deals in Winston-Salem and “Black Saturday” Deals in Winston-Salem works:

(1) Frank Myers Auto Maxx is offering their entire Certified inventory selection at the lowest payments and lowest down payments of the year with programs starting with little to no money down.

(2) These mammoth deals are NOT marked on the vehicles. Customers may obtain a “Black Friday” or a “Black Saturday” Super Savings Form from the showroom at Frank Myers Auto Maxx;

(3) No payments until 2011 on ALL Certified vehicles, which means you’ll have more to spend on holiday gift giving;

(4) In light of the holiday season, past credit problems will be ignored;

(5) Because used cars are in high demand right now, your trade will worth as much as $4000 more than its original appraised value. This means you can stop making remaining loan or lease payments and may also result in an additional price reduction on the car you choose.

(6) All visitors will receive an early Christmas gift WHETHER THEY BUY A CAR OR NOT! Just another way of spreading the good cheer.

Myers says, “This is one of my favorite times of the year. I’m excited to help my neighbors and other people in Winston-Salem get a nicer, newer vehicle…and get the BEST DEAL available anywhere without waiting until after Thanksgiving.“

He went on to say, “I think people have got better things to do that weekend…like getting started on Christmas shopping or spending time with family or volunteering to help others. But I’ve seen how good people feel after getting a real steal on Black Friday in Winston-Salem…and want people to feel that same way when they buy a car from Frank Myers Auto Maxx any time this month.”

Another Reason To Give Thanks: Credit Forgiveness For Good People

The people at Frank Myers Auto understand that recent financial strains have made it difficult for some people and some families to pay all their bills on time. This month they’re featuring their Everybody Rides Program.

“My Everybody Rides Program is about providing extra help to people who have had some trouble with their credit. That means more patience, more understanding, more forgiveness, more approvals, more emphasis on the future instead of the past. We’re helping good people get back on track. And a fair loan on a nicer, newer car is the just the thing many people need right now. It’s time to leave those old problems in the past and get back on the road with a car you’ll be proud of driving,” Myers explained.

But You Need To Hurry: “I’ve hand selected the most popular vehicles, my personal favorites, and those vehicles with the highest quality score to feature for this special sale. Best selection will go to those who arrive first. Like they say, ‘first come, first served.’ We have shipments of extra vehicles arriving all the time…but the best selection will go fast with steals like these,” said Myers.

Black Friday in Winston-Salem and Black Saturday will be taking place at Frank Myers Auto Maxx only, located at 4200 North Patterson Avenue in Winston-Salem, NC. For fastest service call 336-767-3432 and ask for Ashley to set a private appointment.

Uncle Frank Sez: “YES, this offer is real and there is no need to pinch yourself. All prices are plus 3% tax, $88 tag and $499 title documentation fee in trade equity, cash or financed at time of purchased. Terms (APR, down payment, monthly payment, amount financed, approval, etc) will vary based on credit scores, loan to value, year of vehicle and possibly a few other things. Offers can not be combined and any discount negates offer. Negative equity may be financed.
