Winston-Salem Used Car Dealer Campaigns For Nicer, Newer Cars For All

Posted on by

Tracy Myers votes for you to drive a nicer, newer car TODAY!

An Open Letter From The Owner Of Frank Myers Auto Maxx To North Carolina Used Car Shoppers…

Dear Friends,

My name is Tracy Myers and I’m joining the race and campaigning for you to have a nicer, newer car! Will you join me?? Have you ever noticed that politicians are like cars? After a while…

…they eat up all your money.

…they become unreliable.

…and then they just stop working all together.

That’s what elections are for! Every two years we get a chance to have a fresh start and put new officials in office. Thank goodness!

Well, Election Day is just weeks away…and it got me thinking…

If there’s a politician we don’t like we can boot them out of office in just two years. But if you have an old car you don’t like, you could be stuck with it for a lot longer! It’s not fair. Gosh, the typical car loan is five years long.

I think you should get a chance to swap your ride out every two years and put a new car in your garage. Don’t you agree?

So this month I’m having a special Congressional Car Swap Event!
Here’s how it works:

You bring in any vehicle to Frank Myers Auto Maxx. It doesn’t matter if it’s running or not. Even if you still have payments left. Even if you owe more than it’s worth!

Toss me the keys to your old ride, and I’ll toss you the keys to a nicer, newer car that you’ll be proud of!

And if you have less faith in your credit than you do in your congressman, never fear! My “Everybody Rides” program  is the REAL DEAL…and I’m able to help even the most unlikely candidates get approved for a nicer, newer car.

If your car is already paid off, I can reward you with a $1,000 pay-off bonus to reward you for being responsible and making all your payments. You can use that money to lower your new payments on ANY Certified car in stock.

If your car’s not paid off, I’ll talk to your bank and try to negotiate a pay off deal so you can drive away free and clear in a much nicer car without any extra money out of your pocket!

Vote For Me and Swap Your Key!

Never mind all those empty promises made by politicians trying to get your vote. Take care of yourself and your family…put your priorities first for a change.

You deserve a nicer, newer car. A vehicle you can depend on. A vehicle with better gas mileage, so you can save money. A vehicle with a better safety rating, so you can have peace of mind. A vehicle with great looks, so you can impress your neighbors. Name a candidate that will give you all that…heck, name another car dealership.

Just come to Frank Myers Auto Maxx this month and swap your key and upgrade your car during the Congressional Car Swap Event.

How Is This Possible?

Because of rapidly changing costs of used cars at the auction combined with all of the shakeup that’s taken place in Detroit, things are not what they used to be in the car business.

It’s harder to survive than it used to be. But I need customers and I need you. Here at Frank Myers Auto Maxx we employ 43 good people. They all work hard everyday to provide best of class service and an experience you’ll rave about. But in order to keep all these people employed, we need great customers too!

So I’m willing to bend over backwards and make miracles happen for you just so we can keep the business rolling.

Not Your Ordinary Campaign…

And I’m not your ordinary car dealer. What I realize that other dealers don’t is that you don’t need to be lured in with fake prices that inflate the moment you show up at the dealership.

What you need is help with your past credit problems and for someone to pay off your current car so you can pick out something better today. 

Here at Frank Myers Auto Maxx we guarantee a unique car buying experience that you’ll tell your friends about.

Our customers consider us a trusted advisor and a reliable source of support, service, information and guidance. And once you do business with us you’ll forget the other guys even exist. My goal is to become your car dealer for life.

I’m Campaigning For You To Get…

A Nicer, Newer Car!!

I understand that good things happen to bad people. And I also know that sometimes you wind up with a loan on a bad car. Other times you may just get bored with what you’re driving.

I’m on a mission this month to sell 173 cars…and that means that I’ll go above and beyond to make it happen for you. My goal this month is 100% approval.

My name is Tracy Myers…and I’ll approve your credit!

Please come give us a chance to help you and earn your business. Even if you weren’t planning to get a nicer, newer car right now, I would like a chance to show you how it could just be the best time ever to upgrade.

To schedule a VIP test drive or to just browse my killer inventory of cars with one of my Non-Commissioned Sales Pros and Credit Miracle Workers visit

I’m looking forward to helping you own a nicer, newer car.

Sincerely,

Tracy E. Myers, CMD

Winston-Salem Used Car Dealer Awaits Used Fiats As Chrysler Dealers Ponder New Deal

Posted on by
Frank Myers Auto is excited about pre-owned Fiats

Fiat returns to the United States & is expected to be a hit in NC.

After a 30-year absence, Fiat is coming back to the United States and now Chrysler dealers have to decide whether they want to sell the Italian brand that initially will offer just one model, the tiny Fiat 500.

About 400 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep dealers who want to sell Fiats met at a meeting in Detroit Monday, were told that the exotic minicar at first will be the only 2011 model in their Fiat showrooms.

Chrysler, which is now controlled by Italy’s Fiat, was short on specifics such as price and future models. A larger model was promised, although covered by a tarp.

50,000 of the stylish, bulb-shaped 500s are expected to be sold by Chrysler the first year they arrive. Eventually four versions will be offered, a standard 500, a cloth-top convertible, a high performance version with up to 185 horsepower, and in 2012, an electric version, the dealers said.

Fiat-run Chrysler Group LLC wants the 500 to become a strong contender in the U.S. small-car market, where the Detroit automaker has struggled for years. The car will be sold by about 165 Chrysler Group dealers in 125 mainly big-city markets starting in December. Chrysler hopes the tiny Italian car will help its lackluster sales.

Dealers will be asked to build separate showrooms and have separate sales and service staffs for the cars, in order to help create a distinctive European aura for the 500.

Many dealers were impressed, but some were left with questions about whether it would be worth the investment because future models were not unveiled. Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, who also runs Fiat, has said that Fiat dealers will get first shot at selling the Alfa Romeo brand when it returns to the U.S. in 2012.

But the dealers were happy for a chance to sell a competitive small car, because they have had little to offer in the segment.

“There’s no doubt about it. It’s a home run,” said Alan Helfman vice president of River Oaks Chrysler Jeep in Houston. “It’s not going to make it from day one, but it will be a good seller, and it’s a market I don’t play in right now.”

Helfman, whose dealership is near Rice University, said the car will appeal to younger people who care about the environment and fuel economy.

Tracy Myers, who owns a used car dealership in Winston-Salem, North Carolina was excited about the opportunity to offer another fuel efficient compact car to his pre-owned car shoppers near Greensboro and High Point, NC.

“I’m going to eagerly waiting for it to hit the used car market. I’m going to do everything I can to get my hands on the first used Fiats to enter the pre-owned marketplace in the Carolinas,” Myers said.

Winston-Salem Used Car Shoppers Review Frank Myers Auto Maxx

“I bought a 2008 Honda Accord from Frank Myers Auto Maxx a little over a year ago. I was only 21 years old and had no credit to speak of. I told my salesperson Zack that up front. He was polite and spoke with me not down to me. I was very surprised because a lot of other dealers had laughed at me when I told them I was only 21. Zack did not. He worked diligently to get my car loan approved. Not only did he get it approved, he was able to help me get the exact car I wanted. Since I bought the Honda a year ago, I have been back several times to get my oil changed and their service department is just as impressive as the sales department. Very efficient and well priced. They also explained things to me and didn’t talk over my head. Another good thing is that I Frank Myers Auto Maxx cared enough about me to stay in touch with me over the past year. I’ve received countless emails, phone calls and letters. Everyone in the Triad area of NC should shop at Frank Myers Auto Maxx when looking for a car.” – Rebecca Jefferson

““I got my Mazda 3 from Frank Myers Auto maxx and have been very happy with my decision to buy a car there. They went out of their way to make it easy for me to make a decision that would work for my budget. I had originally looked at the same car with alloy wheels, leather interior and a sunroof but it was going to be more money that I needed to pay. Brandon and Keith helped me to realize that the base model Mazda was going to save my almost $45 a month in car payments! That turned out to be one of the better decisions I have made this year. Brandon is a good salesman. He listened to me and never talked down to me. Keith was one of his managers and went over all the numbers with me. He did it slowly so I could understand and didn’t get frustrated when I asked him to repeat the numbers a second and third time. The owner Tracy came around and shook my hand twice. You could tell he wanted to make sure I was being treated properly and with respect. This is a good car dealer and i recommend them to anyone I know.” – Florence Shallote

How To Increase The Value Of Your Trade…Even In A Down Market!

Posted on by
Winston Salem used car dealer offers more for trades

A few easy steps will get you more money for your trade-in.

You want to buy a new car but you’ve still got the old one you’ve got to get rid of.

Many people need to get some cash out of their old car in order to get into a new one. So getting the most for your trade is often a major consideration.

Here’s a few tips on how you can get more money for your old car.

Clean It Up. Give you car a good wash – don’t just run it down to the gas station car wash. Scrub the car, especially around the bottom of the car where dirt and road debris can really make a mess.

You may also considering getting a professional detail job. While the price can seem a little high, the deep clean they provide will go far beyond what you can do yourself.

Wax It. Most people are surprised at what a good coat of wax can do to a car’s finish. It can take weather beaten paint and give it new life and a nice shine.

The way your car looks reflects how well you’ve cared for it over the years. Careful cleaning is the single most important step you can take to ensuring a fair trade-in valuation.

Make It Smell Good. Use some Fabreeze or car deodorizing spray. If you are a smoker this is very important. You don’t want your car to smell like an ash tray at trade in time.

Get An Oil Change. Old oil shows that maintenance has not been a priority.

Wipe Down The Engine Compartment. It’s probably pretty messy in there. Give it a wipe down with a damp cloth and pay particular attention to any areas that are especially grimy. Clean the top of the battery and the terminals too.

If the battery terminals are corroded you can use a mixture of baking soda and water to clean them. Let the solution sit on the crud and they rinse with water.

Decide Whether To Buy Tires. Some dealers prefer matching tires because that’s how they sell vehicles on their lots. If the tires are new, however, you may not want to bother.

Fix The Windshield. If you have any dings or cracks get these repaired. Many times windshield repairs can be covered by insurance if the problems are bad enough.

Once a crack starts to spread, the whole windshield has to be replaced, and a dealer will deduct the repair cost from the trade-in.

Bonus Tips: Consider fixing obvious mechanical and body problems, especially big dents and scratches (door dings are OK). But forget about pricey repairs, or you may spend more than you’ll get back.

And maybe (most importantly), be realistic. Most owners are too optimistic about what their cars will fetch in an honest trade-in. To come up with an honest trade-in price, dealers consider what they would pay for a car like yours at a wholesale auction and then subtract what it would cost to repair and clean your car.

Dealers don’t go by price guides, such as the “blue book,” as rigidly as you may think. This is guaged more by what dealers see happening at the auction. Generally, a car dealer will attend the auction at least twice a week.

But to get a very rough idea of what to expect for your trade-in, consider some point between the book trade-in and loan values as a starting point (remember to subtract the cost of all necessary repairs and detailing).

Forget about asking for or getting the retail price for your trade. Dealers rarely get that much when they sell the car to the next buyer.

Unlikely Educator Spurs Economic Growth With Alphabet

Posted on by

Frank Myers Auto has made used car buying easy as ABC

Used car buying easy as ABC in Winston Salem, NC

WINSTON SALEM – At it once again is the uncommon car dealer, Tracy Myers from Frank Myers Auto Maxx, just in time for the new school year to begin. Myers says his new approach to owning a nicer, newer car will simplify your life and help the local economy.

“Let’s face it…everybody wants a nicer, newer car. And buying a car is great for the economy! A better car can help you get to work, get your kids to school on time and in style, plus it helps me keep a lot of good people employed here at my business…not to mention the countless other folks who work to design, build, transport, maintain, fuel and insure the vehicles,” explained Myers.

Myers says that buying a car doesn’t need to be complicated or stressful. He believes that there’s a lesson to be learned from grade school. “My kids are getting ready to head back to school, and that got me thinking about learning the ABCs and 123s – and how, back in school, life was simple and fun. I think buying a car should be simple and fun too…so I created the ABCs of Car Buying.”

This “back to school” themed sale makes this month an excellent time to upgrade to a newer car, truck van or SUV.  Here’s how it works:

A: We’ll pay $1000 more than fair market value for any trade, whether it’s paid for or not.

B: Bring in just $500.00 for a down payment, and you can drive away the same day

C: Credit is not an issue. We work with the most helpful lenders in the country and understand that bad things happen to good people. Our goal this month is 100% approval.

“We always have fun here at Frank Myers Auto Maxx but this month is going to be something to remember. We’re helping the schools, helping the kids, helping the economy and helping you too. It’s never been easier to get a nicer, newer car!”

The generous trade-in allowance was inspired by the popular Cash For Clunkers program initiated by President Obama, which proves even car dealers can learn a thing or two.

“People are still talking about Cash For Clunkers…which happened one year ago this month. I pay attention to what my customers want. They’ve been asking for Cash For Clunkers to come back, and I’m giving it to them. I thought back to school time was the perfect time to show off what I’ve learned!” explained Myers.

Why Is August A Good Month To Buy?

Many people don’t realize that the new car manufacturers start releasing next year’s models this time of year. That means that every car at the dealership essentially turns one year older this month than it was last month. That extra month drives prices down making August one of the best times of year to buy.

Banged Up Credit From The School of Hard Knocks?

“At Frank Myers Auto Maxx, we realize that things have been pretty tough the past few years. We’re really good at helping you overcome the bruises on your credit report that you’ve earned from living in the real world. We believe in helping people make a fresh start. Come in and give us a chance to help,” says Myers.

ABCs Make Buying A Car Fast, Fun and Easy

What will you do with the extra money you receive for your trade-in? You could use it to lower your monthly payments. You could use it to be able to afford “more car” for your money. You could use it to pay off other bills. You could even use it buy all new clothes for your kids before school starts. It’s entirely up to you.

Come in to Frank Myers Auto Maxx located at 4200 N. Patterson Avenue in Winston-Salem, NC or pre-register for the sales event at https://www.FrankMyersAuto.com and buy a nicer, newer vehicle before August 30 and take advantage of $1,000 more for your trade, $500 down payments, and more lenient credit requirements.
