We did it by Low prices with high quality No high pressure or hidden costs inspection. "These cars and trucks have been cleaned up, and are in tip-top shape," says Herb. This is certainly great news for used car buyers anywhere near Ft. Myers, but apparently not everyone is overjoyed with what Galloway is doing. "We've been getting calls from other dealers asking us not to do this," Herb says.

"But we think our customers deserve this opportunity on the rare occasion that we can offer it. We're going to continue as planned." During the one day event, every car and truck will lie "clearly marked" with its discounted price, so there will be no need to haggle or dicker. The vehicles will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Herb urges that all interested parties arrive as early as possible, in order to insure the gteatest possible selection. Galloway Ford Used Cars will have a full staff on hand for the sale.

"It is our intention to share this opportunity with everyone," says Herb. If you have a trade-in, bring it. If you have a job, just brine your title or payment book. I'm sure we'll be able to work with you." Galloway Ford Used Girs is located at 1800 Boy Scout Drive in Ft. Myers.

For more information, customers should contact Bob Jackson, General Sales Manager, at 936-3673. This sale will be for one day only, Thursday, December 10th, from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. 33 Other dealers have asked us not to do this. But we think our customers deserve this opportunity on the rare occasion that we can offer it.

-Mike Herb Galloway Ford Used Cars has announced what some in the industry are calling "a true departure." On Thursday, December 10th, from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Galloway Ford Used Cars will sell reclaimed automobiles and excess inventory "to the general public only." "When we presented the idea to area says Herb, "We told them we had to do it on our terms. We wanted to be able to pass the savings on these repossessed vehicles to our customers. Not only did they agree to work with us, they offered to finance the vehicles for ridiculously low down payments as low as $88 dollars on approved credit! Truthfully, 1 think the banks were secretly thrilled at the opportunity to dispose of their repossessions in a timely and cost-effective manner." Galloway Ford Used Cars has been allocated a large number of these special units in order to get them back on the road as soon as possible. Whether you're looking for a used car, truck, van, or 4x4, you are assured a tremendous selection.

And every vehicle has been through Galloway's rigorous 70 point safety and mechanical FORT MYERS, "Bank repossessions." Just hearing the term can invoke a variety of reactions in different people. Bank employees bristle. People behind on their car payments shudder. Auction buyers who purchase in bulk for retailers smile. Some welcome the term, others loathe it.

Almost no one is indifferent. And they happen in South Florida almost every day. For banks, at least, these repossessed cars can mean tremendous burdens. Usually the bank has to go to great trouble and expense to find a secondary buyer, and they usually end up taking a loss in the end. One local dealership, Galloway Ford Used Cars, has found a way to work in conjunction with area banks to offer these cars to people looking for bargains on used vehicles.

And that means everyday people, not just those with connections on the "inside." "These types of vehicles are next to impossible for the average person to find," explains Mike Herb, General Manager at Galloway Ford Used Cars. "They usually end up at auto auctions, where professional buyers grab them up at bargain basement prices and then mark them up and sell them to retailers- who in turn mark them up and sell them to the public. By the time these cars hit most dealer's lots, they've already been marked up twice!" It looks as though all that is about to change, however.
