From the President

We are pleased to welcome new members Frank Tajgardoun of Corporate Cars, Antonio Gutievez of Antonio De Jesus Chavez, Ahmed Hussein of Country Motors and vendor Sanjay Varma of Dealer Compliance Agency. Our mission is to help our dealers grow, bringing a wealth of information at our monthly meetings.

A big "thank you" to our HIADA members for their efforts in making the HIADA auction lane successful. We are currently running about 40 vehicles every sale date. It is HIADA’s mission to save our members hundreds of dollars in sell fees and no sale fees. These auction lanes bring true value to our dealers.

HIADA will not host a monthly meeting in July, due to TIADA hosting their annual convention on July 23rd-25th. For those of you who have never attended this event, I strongly urge you to do so.

On August 8th, HIADA will host an exciting meeting featuring four finance companies that help your buy-here-pay-here portfolios grow by advancing you money against your receivables. This will be a great opportunity to discuss which finance company meets your needs.

We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting, here’s to a profitable summer season.

Sincerely,

Rick Maroney
