WHY PRE-OWNED IS TAKING CENTER STAGE

Pre-owned has moved from a supplementary business to a primary driver for many dealerships. Buyers are prioritizing affordability and immediate availability, while rising interest rates and material, tariff, and transportation costs continue to elevate new RV pricing. Understanding how to buy well in this market matters more than ever. Very few sessions tackle this topic head on. This one does.

AN EDUCATION SESSION FOR DEALERS

Matt Amata will walk through how dealers can use auction market data, turn times, and unit condition to buy smarter, move aging units faster, and protect margins in a rapidly evolving market. The session covers practical ways to mitigate risk on trade-ins and how to plan inventory movement around seasonal and market trends.

WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH

• Leverage auctions strategically to purchase and manage pre-owned inventory

• Use market data to make smarter buying and selling decisions

• Improve inventory turns and maximize vehicle value through condition management

• Reduce risk and protect margins by aligning inventory with market and seasonal trends

• Evaluate how condition reports affect auction value and retail potential

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND WIN

SPEAKER

Matt Amata

Vice President of RV and Marine, National Powersport Auctions

---

Matt Amata leads the nationwide growth of the RV and Marine segments at National Powersport Auctions (NPA), a leading remarketing and auction services provider for powersports, RV and marine.

With more than twenty years in the RV and marine industry, Amata previously spent ten years as president of National Liquidators. He has also served on the boards of the National Marine Lenders Association (NMLA) and the Propeller Club of America.

At NPA, he has expanded the RV and Marine business by bringing in new remarketing clients, building dealer relationships on both the buy and sell side, and improving the processes and policies that support RV and marine dealers. That day-to-day work with dealers sourcing pre-owned RV inventory through auctions is the foundation of the strategy he shares in this session.
