3 Main Takeaways
Used car prices have hit record highs due to limited inventory. Factors driving this include low new car production, overpayment on used cars previously, lower lease penetration, and lenders avoiding repossessions. This shortage will likely persist for years.
Dealerships need to align their inventory and pricing to what local incomes can actually afford. Most listings are for unaffordable price bands. Dealers should analyze pricing weekly and take write-downs to realign with true demand.
To acquire inventory, dealers should target trade-ins, buy directly from customers, check service ROs, and build relationships with local lenders and credit unions. Rigorous training of sales teams is key to having consultative conversations with buyers. Overall, being a "bring it to me" dealer will strengthen consumer relationships.
