J.D. Byrider

Carmel, Indiana- On Saturday, September 19th, J.D. Byrider Kart Racing Team Driver Tony Petersen represented JD Byrider by participating as the “Corporate Mascot” at the Indianapolis Start! Heart Walk. Although “Spiderman”  posed an ominous threat in the Mascot race, Tony was undaunted and took JD Byrider to a first place finish, well ahead of the field of 10 competitors. The event was a huge success!

JD Byrider Advertising Group president, Jim England, served as overall Chairman of this year’s walk. “I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of ALL of the JD Byrider teams and personnel who participated this year”, England said. “Audrey Ryder’s team was the number one fund-raising team, and Angela Walsh’s team was fourth overall. To have two teams in the top five is a tribute to Byrider’s competitive spirit. I think we’ve learned a lot from Tony Stewart and Tony Petersen!”

England added, “I’m truly grateful to our founder, Jim DeVoe, Sr., for getting us involved with the American Heart Association a few years back. It’s been a great opportunity for the JD Byrider family to step up, educate and give back.”

The good news for the auto makers is that many consumers are starting to consider purchasing new vehicles. But, the used car market continues to generate the most interest. Consumers are gravitating to certified pre-owned vehicles because of price and peace of mind. Online searching for used vehicles is continuing to increase. And the traffic drawn to dealership lots continues to be mostly about used cars.

Consumers with better credit are drawn to the BMW 3-Series, the Ford F-150, the Ford Mustang, the Chevrolet Silverado and the Honda Accord. And, the most popular certified pre-owned vehicles ranked include BMW 3-Series, Accord, Silverado, Chevy Tahoe and Toyota Tundra.

Consumers with not-so-good credit who are in the market for a good used vehicle and help getting financing should consider dealers who provide the best of both programs. J.D. Byrider is celebrating its 20th year in business, having sold and financed over 800,000 vehicles to good, hard-working people.

With 20 year’s experience, J.D. Byrider knows what used vehicles to purchase to best serve its customers. Every vehicle undergoes a Comprehensive Inspection, comes backed by a title check from Carfax or Experian and a Good to Go Limited Warranty at no extra charge. And, Byrider (link) offers low cost parts and labor in its quality service departments that are staffed by skilled technicians.

As consumers begin purchasing new vehicles, the picture brightens for both the new and used car markets. Manufacturers make more, dealers sell more and more vehicles will be available down the road to fulfill the needs of the used car markets in the future. Incidentally, the top 3 selling new vehicles in May came from U.S. manufacturers Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge, respectively. Another good sign.

J.D. Byrider was recently designated as a Fit Friendly Company by the American Heart Association for encouraging its employees to walk at work, participate in the Start! Heart Walk, providing a fitness center, encouraging smoking cessation and offering healthier vending machine choices.

Through its relationship with The American Heart Association, J.D. Byrider recommends that consumers take time to put their hearts first. Studies show that for every 30 minutes of vigorous exercise (including walking), one can add two hours of life expectancy.

“Healthier people will make better, more helpful associates here at Byrider”, said Jim England, president of the J.D. Byrider Advertising Group, Inc. “That creates a friendlier environment for our customers. And, we’re taking that health message to our customers in the hope that better health will help them improve their lives and advance.”

Americans can get healthy benefits from walking without having to invest in club memberships or exercise equipment for their homes. Healthier people make better, more helpful, more productive employees.

At a time when the average employee works 164 more hours per year than they did twenty years ago, walking at work can provide the benefits of better health and stress relief. More people are employed in sedentary jobs these days. And, they have more to do outside the workplace that prevents them from getting enough exercise.

Walk breaks at work – before, during or after the work day begins – not only benefit employees but can also save employers money in health care costs.
