All signs point toward the positive this year, according to several dealers around the country who were contacted by PET and asked about their business prospects going into 2005. Led by strong commercial sales growth and a brightening economy bolstered by a strong housing market and stable interest rates, dealers have benefited from good sales years. Though it's not all "gold in the streets" out there in power equipment dealer land (see sidebar), if 2004 is any indication, 2005 should also be strong as well. |
