- Market Outlook / Competition
- Over the 20 years of our business, we’ve seen the market ebb and flow. The collector car market is rebounding and the weaker US dollar is expected to increase overseas sales, once a key market for GVM. There are competitors in our market space, but GVM has found a unique boutique niche and continues to enjoy steady business in markets around the world.
For the building, valuation with real estate appraisals will be obtained before the time of sale. - Opportunities for Growth
- There are numerous opportunities for GVM growth. Here are a few: our existing parts sales could be exponentially increased leveraging eBay or other e-commerce sites; create a 'hobbyist-cave' with memberships for working on and storing cars (see "The Shop" in south Seattle); create an 'owner group' with your car friends or car club; expand on the existing GVM model, or focus on the strong motorsports work of GVM. Relocate or buy the building in rapidly growing and beautiful Carnation, where Giordano's Vintage Motors is a tourist destination.
