A closer look… Finding and buying enough of the right cars at the right price is one of the most important and most challenging things you do in your used car operation.
A closer look… • Things have changed in the auto industry… • Expected turn times have increased • Expected margins have shrunk • Available Inventory has dwindled
A closer look… • What does this mean for you… • Faster Turn = Buy More Cars • Smaller Margin = Make Fewer Mistakes • Less Inventory = Fewer Options
A closer look… Your job today is to buy more cars with a smaller margin for error and fewer cars to choose from.
