Secrets of the Successful Modern Wholesale Auction

‘Secrets of the Successful Modern Wholesale Auction’ is an interesting topic to me. I’ve been in the business long enough to see how the advancements in technology have changed both the retail and the wholesale side of the business is a very short amount of time. Even though trends indicate that the online auctions will continue to grow; the modern auction isn’t just an online marketplace for dealers to transact. The idea of a modern auction, in this sense, is the freedom and flexibility for dealers to wholesale inventory in any and all channels that make sense with their business model. In this workshop we will talk about the innovations in technology and how to leverage what’s out there while maintaining “old school” best practices and getting back to basics. I believe the most successful franchise dealers today take the time to learn about the tools and leverage them to their own benefit. That’s what this workshop is all about.

THREE ENGINES, 1267 HORSEPOWER: 2011 FORD MUSTANG DELIVERS MORE OF EVERYTHING, INCLUDING ECONOMY

DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 8, 2010 – For the 2011 model year, the legendary Ford Mustang once again flexes its muscles with three all-new, state-of-the-art powertrains delivering marked gains in both fuel economy and power.

The 2011 Mustang coupe and convertible arrive with a 305-horsepower 3.7-liter V-6 engine with Ford’s new advanced engine valvetrain technology – Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) – as standard equipment. Performance-minded buyers opting for the Mustang GT are treated to an all-new 5.0-liter, 32-valve V-8 with Ti-VCT, good for 412 horsepower. And the no-compromises Shelby GT500 gets a Ford GT-based aluminum block for its 5.4-liter supercharged V-8, leading to lighter weight and 550 horsepower.

“These three new engines represent a quantum leap in rounding out a world-class Mustang powertrain portfolio,” said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. “Each represents Ford’s commitment to use technology to deliver the performance and fun-to-drive factor customers demand, while continuously improving fuel economy.”
