In Cincinnati Ohio, two dealerships are pulling their used car inventory and buying power together to form one powerful and robust used car dealerships on Cincinnati's East Side. Beechmont Subaru and Beechmont Volkswagen will combine their used car departments in order to create The Beechmont Autoplex.
The Beechmont Autoplex will feature well over 100 late model used cars, Certified Subarus and Certified Volkswagens. The thought is that the increased interest in both the Subaru and VW brands forms a natural and powerful alliance for Used Cars Cincinnati clientèle.
The Beechmont Autoplex will provide Free Oil & Filter Changes For Life on all used car purchases. This differs quite a bit from the latest trend of new car dealerships offering this perk. The used car customer will begin to see perks that are traditionally reserved for the new car buyer.
The Beechmont Autoplex is not yet open, but you could see something develop soon.

The Rebound of the Used Car Market
Well now that the “Hype” is over and the market is starting to settle back down once again, a new realization has come to the forefront for a lot of people: It requires more salary to buy a new car. When this happens and new cars become too expensive for people to consider, people buy used cars. Right now even with all the good deals that may still be out there, if you’re considering at all buying a used car, buy it now.
Some people say the past several have been unprecedented in terms of what has happened in the automotive market. Moving into the fourth quarter the market continues to be doing quite well in most segments. A lot of people continue to believe that the supply/demand relationship for most segments continues to show some stability and with the trends as they are now, no one believes this will change anytime soon. Despite all the talk about small cars and saving gas, many used car buyer are starting to think big again. Part of this comes from the fact that gas prices seem stable and low so people are taking a renewed interest in the larger and sometimes luxurious bigger vehicles.
For most people Cincinnati Ford Dealers , the purchase of a moderately priced new vehicle took almost 6 months of median family income according to some recent studies. A lot of people would tell you right now you are out of your mind if you are even considering the purchase of a new car. Just imagine everything you could do with that money - the vacations, college educations, investments and other things you could afford.
A lot of dealers in areas such as Used Car Cincinnati are hoping with the Cash For Clunkers program now over with that they will come away with a large influx of quality used vehicles making selection and value even better for those currently shopping for great deals. Helping this is the fact that new car inventories are also dwindling pushing more and more people to consider the vast inventories of used vehicles now available. One of the biggest challenges for now is marketing this area in a way to convince people of the value and savings that are out there. There are plenty of cars available, the problem is getting the people out to look at them.
With the conditions being what they are now, the power is returning to the buyer who seems to be able to now more than ever to make better informed decisions. They are realizing that the choices are there and once they see what the Cincinnati Used Car market as well as others have to offer they will be rushing to take advantage of what is there. The one unfortunate side effect of this market is that since there is such a large number of quality used vehicles available, the prices are certainly jumping up. Again, all part of the “Supply and Demand” syndrome.

Used Car Markets Rising Fast
Used Car markets around the nation are reporting better than average sales for the first quarter. With the increased sales come two dynamics...lower supply and rising prices.
Used car supply is dwindling and dealers and end consumers are paying more for these used cars. Dealers may appear to be more profitable due to the increase in prices, but that is just not the case.
The shortened supply is affecting the auctions where dealers pick up much of their used car inventory. If the dealers pay more, the customer in turn pays more, but there is little to know additional profit for the dealer.
The rising prices do not seem to be affecting the sales volume on used car sales. Many dealers are posting much higher sales volume numbers on used cars versus there new car sales.
A Honda Dealer, that is accustomed to selling 60% new cars and 40% used, might find the tables turned and the used car sales volume out pacing the new. This is good for the short run, but in the long run, this is not helping the auto manufactures. New car sales need to be ramped up in order to stem the negative tide.
Various markets, not just isolated markets, around the country are reporting these trends. Used Cars Cincinnati Dealers are seeing this citywide. So too are other markets in Ohio such as Dayton and Columbus.
Search Engine Marketing companies are beginning to tailor more and more of their efforts towards the used car market. Dan Mercurio, President of Elite Search Engine Marketing and DealerLinkUSA says that the current market model points drastically towards used cars and their focus has escalated in the used car sector.
The used car phenomenon has reached the West Coast where Los Angeles Toyota Dealers are also seeing similar trends. Even in the more affluent markets, used cars are taking a stronghold on the automotive sales landscape.
The times have certainly changed. Used Cars is not just a funny movie from the eighties anymore.

When Will Auto Markets Come Back?
We are now approaching at least six months since the major downturn in the automotive market. The fluctuation of used car prices has been such that many dealers have never seen such drops like these in their lifetime.
Only a couple new cars manufacturers have seen any positive movement in the market. Subaru is the only manufacturer that can hang their hat on any gains in the nre car sales sector for 2008. They were up 1.5% for the year. Most of their success was do to the totally redesigned Subaru Forester.
Used car markets across the board have suffered and there appears to be no foreseeable end. many auto dealers are combining their used car inventories in order to reduce their advertising outlay. CincyAutos.com is one of many that is doing just that. Consolidating the inventories of twelve of their dealership's used car inventories helps to not only reduce advertising, but give the online shoppers a better user experience. CincyAutos.com has over 1,000 used cars available. This is more than enough choices for most shoppers in the Cincinnati market.
Other used car Cincinnati dealers have seen this approach and are considering creating similar websites in order to combat the downturn in business and save on the overall advertising budget.
Look for more hub pages for similar new car dealers to pop up in order to accomplish the same benefits for new car franchises.
Thinking outside the box has never been more important than in today's market.
