Aubrey had been searching for the right car for a while, but everywhere she went, she felt like she was getting the runaround. As a young woman just starting to establish her credit, she wasn’t always treated with the respect or patience she deserved.

Then a friend recommended Empower. Aubrey told us that the universe kept giving her sign after sign that she needed to come see us, so she finally listened.

And in her words, from the moment she walked through our doors, things just felt different.

Aubrey and her grandmother worked directly with Mindena, and today she’s driving home in her very own Nissan Rogue!

But here’s the part we’re especially proud of.

We found Aubrey a payment she could comfortably afford, a down payment that worked for her, and most importantly, a real auto loan through a real bank that will help her build her credit as she makes her payments.

Not just a car for today, but an opportunity to build a stronger financial future.

That’s what Empower is supposed to be about.

Aubrey, it was an absolute pleasure getting to know you and your grandmother. Thank you for trusting us, and congratulations on your new Rogue!

We’re excited about where you’re going, and we’re glad we got to play a small part in helping you get there.

YES, IT’S A V6. AND YES, IT’S ALL-WHEEL DRIVE.

https://www.chooseempower.com/inventory/dodge/challenger/ffp52/

Our 2020 Dodge Challenger GT AWD is officially for sale at $25,900, BELOW BOOK VALUE!

This one is a little different. Its 3.6L V6 has plenty of power, paddle shifters, and customizable driving modes. And because it was specially ordered with all-wheel drive, it sits a little higher than your typical Challenger.

It’s a car for someone who loves the look and feel of American muscle but also wants something comfortable, practical, and genuinely enjoyable to drive every day.

And this particular Challenger has been loved. The previous owner treated it like his baby, and it shows.

So why are we listing it before it’s finished?

Because we’ve already had about 15 people ask about the orange Challenger sitting on our lot!

We’re still waiting on new tires and have a few cosmetic details to finish. But rather than make everyone wait, we’re opening it up for test drives and purchase now.

We’ll show you exactly what’s left to do, and you can decide whether you’d rather take it home after we finish everything or secure it now and pick it up once it’s ready.

No surprises. Just a beautiful Challenger, a fair price, and a chance to make it yours before someone else does.

What's it like owning a car dealership?

Congratulations on your new Veloster, Katherine!

Katherine has been searching for an affordable, reliable vehicle for quite a while. After renting a Hyundai Veloster on a trip and falling in love with how that little car drove, she knew exactly what she wanted. And with gas prices these days, great fuel economy is a pretty nice bonus!

About a week ago, her son stopped by Empower to check out the car and make sure his mom was going to be in good hands. Apparently, we passed inspection!

Today, Katherine came in to take her new car home. What should have been a quick 20-minute transaction turned into a three-hour adventure thanks to some unexpected banking and paperwork complications.

But Katherine? She spent the entire time cracking jokes, laughing with us, and making the best of it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sport!

Katherine, thank you for trusting us with your purchase, for your patience, and especially for keeping us laughing! We hope you love every mile in that little Veloster!

Welcome to the Empower family!

Random Sunday Observation inspired by a conversation with out service manager last week.

What makes a good car? How do you know if a brand has a reputation for longevity? Do you just listen to marketing messages? Or should you be looking at something more subtle.

According to our service manager, the best thing to do is look and see what 20-30 year old cars you consistently see still cruising down the highway.

On our trip to Columbus we saw a ton of Rav4s, Honda Pilots, and surprisingly Chevy Trailblazers.

What cars do YOU always see that surprise you?

***Should you trade your car in or sell it yourself?***

Here’s something you might not expect to hear from a car dealership: Sometimes, we think you’d be better off selling your car yourself.

And we’re happy to tell you that.

Here’s why.

Let’s say you have a car that runs great, drives great, and has plenty of life left in it. You look online and see similar vehicles selling for $6,000. Naturally, you figure a dealership might offer you $4,000 or $5,000 for it.

But here’s something most people don’t realize: the value of a car to a dealership can be VERY different from its value to someone who just needs a dependable car to drive.

Before we can sell that vehicle, we may have to invest in repairs, inspections, detailing, paperwork, and reconditioning. We also have to account for the possibility of unexpected problems and the time it takes to find the next buyer.

Sometimes, those costs make it difficult for us to offer anything close to what you could get selling it privately.

But there’s another side to this equation.

Marketplace is hell. 😂

The scammers. The lowball offers. The no-shows. The 47 people asking “Is this still available?” who apparently have no intention of ever responding again.

There’s a reason people trade their vehicles in, even when they know they could probably sell them for more.

Convenience has value. Your time has value. And sometimes, being DONE with something has a whole lot of value.

So which option is better?

That depends on YOU.

At Empower, we want you to bring your trade-in, regardless of its age, mileage, or condition. We’ll take a look, make you an offer, and, most importantly, explain how we arrived at that number.

If trading it makes sense, we’d love to take it off your hands.

If we think you could do significantly better selling it yourself, we’ll tell you that, too.

And if you decide to sell it privately and bring the money back toward your next vehicle? We’ll be just as happy to help you.

Because we don’t believe our job is simply to sell you a car. Our job is to give you the information you need to make the best decision for yourself and your family.

We’re not always going to have the highest offer. We’re not always going to have the answer you were hoping for.

But we’re always going to do our best to make sure you understand your options.

That’s what Empower Automotive is all about. 🖤

Empower is the place to buy a car for the life you’re trying to build — not a life built around paying for your car.

Today we attended our first event as an independent car dealership!

​It might seem like a small milestone to some, but to us, it was huge. It was such a great opportunity to connect with other Ohio dealers, but more importantly, to open up new doors for our customers.

​We spent the day building relationships to bring you better options, expanding auction access to find quality inventory, securing top-tier warranty options to give you peace of mind, and connecting with new lenders to offer even more financing avenues.
​Every step we take is about doing better for the people who support our business.

We are CLOSED today for the annual OIADA conference.

If you need anything feel free to message the page, and we will be back at it on Monday!

I'm going to regret this, but we are so excited that we can't just keep it in.

TLDR: We can't answer any questions about these (including pricing), but comment down below which one you are most interested in and we will notify you as soon as they are ready.

The whole team went to the auction today and we got some really fantastic buys. The next time you see these vehicles they will be cleaned up and on our front line ready for their new home!

THIS IS IMPORTANT

1.) We don't yet know when they are going to be available. We have incredibly strict reconditioning standards and we won't know what needs to be done until we get them up on their lifts.

2.) We don't yet know how they are going to be priced. We know what we paid for them, but until we get them inspected we won't know what the final price would be.

3.) All of them are between 60,000 and 140,000 miles, but our social media team won't be able to answer any specific questions on any specific vehicle.

SO WHY ARE WE POSTING IT THEN?!?!|

Because you guys keep buying cars BEFORE we can even get them on photographed and on the front line! Almost every day this week we have sold a car that JUST finished reconditioning and hasn't even been posted to the FB yet.

So we are going to try this.

INSTRUCTIONS

If you are even vaguely interested in one of these vehicles comment down below which one and who your favorite car dealership is. If you know someone who is looking for one of these then tag them.

When they get to the point that they are almost ready, we will come back here and reply to your comment so that you can make an appointment to come drive it.

Thank you all. Seriously. THANK YOU ALL.

These past 4 months have been a wild ride, and it is all thanks to this incredible community who have been willing to give us a shot. (Trying out a new used car dealership can be scary!)

We will never be able to be 100% perfect every time, but that doesn't mean that we can't try.

We are building something incredible, and we are building it for you.

-Mindena and Brandon
