The National Alliance of Buy Here, Pay Here Dealers (NABD) has announced a new addition to its award-winning Website, www.bhphinfo.com, called News &- Views. According to Ken Shilson, CPA, and NABD founder, the Website has been expanded due to the need for a central resource where dealers can get all the latest information about important developments in the buy here, pay here industry.

Mr. Shilson indicated the site addition is intended to complement, not replace, all of the important industry information that is disseminated through the various automotive publications and other media. Unfortunately, dealers cant always read everything they need to know and this latest Website addition will provide a centralized reference point for topics like:

1. Industry trends and benchmarks
2. Articles by industry experts (including reprints from the various automotive publications)
3. Accounting and tax development updates
4. Important legal, regulatory and compliance matters
5. Best operating practice ideas
6. Information on upcoming training events
7. Other items of interest and importance

The expansion of the site is a free service provided by the NABD- however, access will require a password. Dealers should sign-in to the members area on the site, and NABD will promptly email them a password so they can access all the postings.

We hope to update the site monthly and want to feature dealer profiles of many of the nations best operators. Although we plan to invite articles from well-known industry experts on the aforementioned topics, the site will feature a dealers perspective on each subject. Our hope is that dealers can effectively utilize the content and contribute new information, which will make the industry better. We realize that dealer networking and education makes everyone better, Shilson says, and this online resource facilitates both.

NABD indicated that the site expansion is nearing completion and is expected to be launched on or before August 31, 2006, so dealers should visit the site and obtain an access password as soon as possible.

NABD also announced it will hold a Buy Here, Pay Here Collection Academy at the Manheim DRIVE facility near Atlanta, Georgia, on January 9-11, 2007. Anyone interested should visit the Website or call 713-290-8171 for more information.
