THEKROOK REPORT
ShowYourAuto.com's Monthly Market Newsletter |
Greetings!
NOTE: Too little sleep and too much coffee makes for interesting sentences and inventive spelling. I have fired myself as "editor" and hired a well rested person with a good eye. The newsletter now has 100% fewer errors. Read on, enjoy! Spring is in full bloom and plentiful rains have made it so we have to mow the lawn twice a week so far this year. The spring car market is also experiencing a problem. A GOOD kind of problem. In the past few weeks, we have sold 12 of the 25 cars currently in inventory. We are selling faster than we can take in new consignments. So, you see our fortunate dilemma, we need more cars to sell! If you were wondering if now is the right time to sell, the answer is YES! Send us a run-down of your cars. If you are wondering if there are still good deals to be had out there. YES! Call or email us your wish list. The time is ripe for both buyers and sellers. Read on for the latest updates and market trends.
Keep the Hobby Fun!

The market knows where it stands and we all know that there is ground to retake before we can consider the economy fully "recovered". People have returned to the vintage collector car market sooner and in greater numbers than expected, so sales volume is up. There are still numerous buying opportunities. Now is the time to take advantage of them.
