Dear Member, |
Some good news for our members
As I am writing
this, it is difficult to believe that January 2015 belongs
to the past and that we are already well into the second
month of the year! |
Looking back at January, new vehicle sales for the month
showed a slight decline compared to the same period last
year. But there is good news too. Industry experts point
out that there has been a move towards used vehicles, which
can be attributed to price increases on new vehicles and
the availability of good quality used stock at affordable
prices.
And there is even more good news... If you
have not signed up for the IDA Online Platform yet, you
now have until the end of June 2015 to take advantage of
the Free Trader offer!
Lightstone
As mentioned in the previous newsletter,
we are now part of a bigger group. I am happy to report
that the transition process is happening smoothly and we
have found a perfect fit in Lightstone.
MIBCO
There is nothing new to report on MIBCO
at the moment, but we will keep you up to date on any developments.
On a different note, let's hold thumbs for our boys

All the best until next time,
