2009 brings guarded optimism

We're already 5 days into the new year! In these first few days of 2009 I've already noticed a change in attitude for some of our clients. It seems that from September through December all you heard on TV was gloom, despair and agony. We had an election hang over. Now there seems to be a hint of optimistic anticipation for the year ahead. I guess you could say that it wouldn't take much to improve on 2008. We continue to be impressed with the local banks and credit unions that work with the Motorplex to provide truly great interest rates! A 5.49% fixed rate with simple interest on our cars and powersports products is spectacular! Many of our clients will take advantage of reduced mortgage rates to refinance their homes and dramatically lower their monthly payment. That can result in more "room" in the family budget for recreational vehicles or a newer car.
Yikes, the new car market is still diving down with no relief in sight. Chrysler down over 50% in December?? Ouch. Our clients are just demanding more for their money and a "Nearly New" car certainly makes a lot of sense! That "new car smell" can cost you thousands of dollars! We think that buying a quality preowned car is the only way to go! You'll save so much that you can add a motorcycle or atv to your stable and have lots of fun to boot! Remember, spring is less than 75 days away!!!!!
