An Update from Northwest Classic Auto Mall - September 15th, 2026
NEW PRICE! Our Runs Until Sold Ad is Now Only $9.95
Northwest Classic Auto Mall has been serving the car community since 1999. Although our advertising prices have changed a few times over the years, we have offered our $24.95 "Runs Until Sold" ad for more than 10 years.
Over the past couple of years, we began noticing a decrease in the number of new ads being placed. That prompted us to reach out to both current and past customers to get their opinions and suggestions. As a result of those conversations, we took a closer look at our pricing structure and what changes we could make to better serve our customers.
Like many businesses, we experienced setbacks during COVID. As we moved beyond those challenges, we also became increasingly aware of the growing number of websites and online selling venues offering lower-priced, and often free, advertising.
While we truly believe NWCAM offers something that is a notch-or two or three-above many of those other sites, the fact remains that free is a very good price! At the same time, we believe quality customer service is priceless.
With that in mind, we made the decision to make a BIG change.
Our $24.95 "Runs Until Sold" Ad is Now Just $9.95!
Our goal is simple: to increase the number of vehicles and other items being advertised on NWCAM. More inventory means more choices for buyers, which can bring more potential buyers to our sellers. It also means more traffic for our corporate advertisers and more exposure for the car shows, swap meets, and other events featured on our Cruise News Page.
So, why such a BIG drop in price?
Quite simply, we didn't want to lower the price by $5, see little or no change, lower it another $5, and continue that process. We wanted to make a meaningful change that would give our advertisers a real reason to give NWCAM a try.
We are very proud of the reputation NWCAM has built within the car community, and I truly appreciate the support and trust we have received from our customers and visitors over the years.
We love what we do! We have always enjoyed talking with so many of you on the phone and meeting you at car shows and swap meets. Those conversations and relationships are a big part of what makes NWCAM special to us.
We are seeing changes taking place in many industries, and sometimes you have to step back, take a good look at what you're doing, and make adjustments in order to continue growing and serving your customers.
A Change to How We Renew Ads
There is one other change we are making.
In the past, NWCAM would contact sellers to confirm that their vehicle was still available before moving their ad back toward the front of the listings.
Going forward, the seller will be responsible for contacting NWCAM every 3 months to let us know the vehicle is still available. When you call, we will renew your NWCAM ad and move it back to the front of the listings.
If we don't hear from you, your ad will simply become inactive until you contact us. Once you call, we'll reactivate the ad and move it back to the front.
We feel this is a WIN-WIN for both sellers and buyers. It helps ensure that the ads on NWCAM remain current and fresh, while giving sellers the opportunity to keep their vehicles visible near the front of the listings.
And remember, NWCAM ad renewals are ALWAYS FREE!
What About Hemmings?
All of our other advertising services will remain the same, and our Hemmings online advertising option will continue to be available.
The NWCAM ad Runs Until Sold and renewals are free. The optional online Hemmings ad is $20.00 for each additional 3-month renewal period.
The Hemmings option is completely optional-you can choose it when placing your NWCAM ad or continue with just your NWCAM advertising.
If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call. If you want to acknowledge your appreciation for lowering our price, we'll accept those phone calls as well. And if you have experienced a pleasant and/or succesful interaction with NWCAM, your Testimonial is appreciated
