April 6th, 2011 — Articles, Sales Pro Of The Month, Used Cars
Mr. Zach “ProZach” Kapp has been named as “Top Sales Associate” for the month of March 2011 by Frank Myers Auto Maxx. Kapp is a veteran of the Frank Myers Auto Family, having started at the Winston Salem used car dealership in 2000.
Kapp was selected as March 2011 Non-Commissioned Sales Pro of the month for his world-class performance and award-winning accomplishments in the automotive solutions department. What he likes best about working at Frank Myers Auto Maxx is helping folks drive home in the car of their dreams…especially after other dealerships have told them no. Kapp also mentioned how much he enjoyed the excellent attention to customer service that Tracy Myers brings to the dealership.
Mastermind of Possibilities at Frank Myers Auto, John Bodenheimer, stated “Zach really deserves this honor. He has become our top sales professional for the month of March and we are all proud of him. His commitment, professionalism, and loyalty to his profession make it a joy for all of his teammates to be around him on a daily basis.”
Head Honcho, Keith Bowman stated “Zach’s level of energy is contagious and his down-to-earth personality are second to none. It is no surprise to me that he made sales pro of the month. If he continues to be as great as he was in March, I would expect him to be the sales pro of the month every month.”

Rising Gas Prices Force Local Car Dealer To Purge Full-Size Cars, SUVs, Trucks And Minivans From Inventory And Overpay For Smaller Trade-Ins
UPSIDE DOWN? CREDIT CHALLENGED? STUCK IN A LEASE? NO DOWN PAYMENT?
YOUR PROBLEM SOLVED!
Good news for people who want a full size car, an SUV, a minivan or a truck. Panicking consumers are at it again. The recent bump in local gas prices has caused a knee-jerk reaction and put the squeeze on big vehicle values. Some larger vehicles are worth half what they were just two months ago (according to the auction). For those consumers who don’t blindly follow the herd and unconsciously react to the natural pendulum swing of society, now may very well be the most incredible time to find, qualify for and own the full-size car, truck, minivan or SUV you’ve been dreaming of.
How The Big Vehicle Bubble Benefits You
Imagine how this Big Vehicle Bubble could help you solve your transportation problems and improve your life and lifestyle…
- Your current smaller vehicle could be worth as much as $5,000 more than it was last month, allowing you to pay off your loan or lease early – what would you do with that extra cash?
- You could significantly lower (or even get rid of) the down payment required – this means you can finally afford that vehicle you’ve been eyeing.
- You could be approved now, even if you were rejected before – stop letting credit prevent you from living the life you want NOW!
- You could buy a nicer, newer car for as little as half the recent value – you can finally afford to drive that killer car, truck or SUV you’ve been wanting but could just never afford.
When The Accountants Call The Shots You Save Big
Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston Salem explains, “We’re at the mercy of the vehicle pricing authorities at NADA and Blue Book. The demand for large vehicles has been reduced, so values have been reduced too. Now I’m stuck with more than 100 vehicles that have lost value and I need to sell them now.
“My accountant has made me promise to replace these bigger cars with smaller cars. My hands are tied. But the good news is that 213 people are going to get the deal of the century!” Myers said.
Experts expect this value correction to last only for a short time, perhaps less than a month. Remember what happened last time gas prices went up? That’s right…they came down again. Of course, nobody knows what will happen this time, only time will tell, but there’s always a chance that gas prices go back down or don’t climb very high at all. Think of how smart you’ll seem to all your friends and family…
And even if gas prices do get high and stay high for a while, the savings you’ll earn from buying right now while values are low will more than offset the extra fuel cost. It’s a no brainer! Myers reminds us, “Even if gas prices go to $5 per gallon, it’s still cheaper than that gourmet coffee that everyone loves to drink.”
Banks Are Back In Business
One thing is for sure. Banks aren’t affected by gas prices. They’re lending again! Myers says, “The banks and finance companies have come back to life. They’ve been banging down my door lately looking to lend to people like you.” Myers added, “Credit challenged customers are also in high demand for the specialty banks and lending institutions I have solid relationships with.”
These specialty financial institutions are part of the network Myers relies on to help credit challenged customers through his “EVERYBODY RIDES” program.
The process is a proven way to get buyers who have been turned down by other places or have had issues with getting loans in the past get approved now. “The process boils down to relationships,” Myers explained.
Myers and his in-house team of Credit Miracle Workers shop, negotiate and process loans using their special network of banks and finance companies that specialize in approving people who have had credit issues and haven’t been able to get an auto loan.
Who Else Wants To Pay Less For Gas?
The reality is that gas prices will eventually come back down to normal levels. They did last year and they will again this year. That will make this unbelievable opportunity to get these big vehicles a thing of the past. Just like the high gas prices, this offer will disappear. But if you take action right now you’ll have gotten a killer full size car, truck, van or SUV for a steal according to Myers.
“As long as your not looking to buy a hybrid vehicle you’re going get the deal of a lifetime,” raved Myers. “The reality is even the newer model bigger vehicles are more fuel efficient than many older cars most Winston Salem residents are driving.”
How The Banks’ Decisions Work In Your Favor
Frank Myers Auto Maxx has more than 100 vehicles that have been affected by the bubble bursting and have lost considerable value. These vehicles will be sold at unprecedented prices.
“I couldn’t sell them for a lot even if I wanted to,” says Myers. “They won’t appraise and the banks won’t lend as much on them as they would just last month.”
Myers is not sure how long this amazing opportunity will be available but says the people who act the fastest will get the very best deals. Plus right now you can get more for your small vehicle than any other time — as much as $5,000 more than it was worth just last month. And you could get a nicer, newer car at some of the biggest values ever offered at Frank Myers Auto Maxx.
“If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to upgrade your ride,” says Myers.

Step #3 (of 11 Steps To Becoming A Super-Power Car Buyer): Discover The Four Pros Of Choosing A New Vehicle
Some people will never buy used. Even if you gave them a two year old Lexus they wouldn’t drive it. They want to be the first to sit in the car and smell the leather. These people will only ever choose new.
Here are some reasons to consider a new car purchase:
Less Maintenance: A new car requires less maintenance. Many of the newer cars don’t need a lick of service for the first several thousand miles. After that the maintenance is minor. A first oil change, quick inspection and that’s it.
A rare few new car dealers cover this type of routine maintenance as part of the deal. If the dealer doesn’t cover it the maintenance is about the same price as it would be on a used vehicle.
The Warranty: All new cars are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty for the first 3 to 4 years of a cars life. This means if anything goes wrong with the car, the repair costs are covered…
Unless the issue is in a non-warranted item. Non-warranted items include items like clutches, breaks and tires. Anything that the manufacture deems a “wearable” item – an item that wears out as a result of driving the vehicle – which is more than you may think.
All new cars also come with a power train warranty that extends past the manufacturer’s warranty.
These warranties can be as much as 10 years, 100,000 miles. Some warranties even offer a tire & wheel road hazard coverage for a short period of time after purchase.
Peace of Mind: Should problems occur with your new car, you have legal recourse through state lemon laws. Every state has a lemon law in effect.
By proving that your new car is a lemon, you could receive a replacement vehicle or get your money back.
Lemon laws apply only to new cars. You also can find out if your vehicle was returned to the used-car market as a lemon by looking at the vehicle’s title and using a free look-up service provided by AutoCheck or CARFAX.
Roadside Assistance: If you’ve ever been stuck on the side of the road you know what this is and why it’s worth having. Many new car dealers offer this as a benefit of purchasing these days and in a pinch it is nice to have.
The problem with many road side assistance programs are that you do not know what company they are using. It may be Acura Total Luxury Care Roadside you think you are calling, but it is actually a local company that they outsource to.
Many new car companies pay little attention to who they outsource their road side assistance to and you can quickly end up stuck on the side of the road for hours if you wind up with the wrong company.
I have a friend who waited for over four hours for his new car to be rescued by the new car roadside service. AAA is a reliable and powerful service that is available to both new and used car dealers for road side assistance.
In the next post, I’ll share with you the pros to buying used.
