3 Metrics To Make Market-smart Used Vehicle Pricing Decisions

by | Sep 21, 2016 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Every dealership wishes to have the right vehicles at the right price offered at the right time. Luckily today’s inventory analytic tools provide this valuable inventory data empowering dealerships to optimize performance and profit.

The most accomplished dealers use these data sets to review used vehicle prices on a near daily basis allowing them to keep pace with the current market. Those who only price and re-price vehicles, as they enter and leave an inventory age segment, will inevitably leave gross profit on the table as vehicles don’t sell as quickly as they could.

This metric measures the sales history a dealership as well as the live local market allowing dealers to instantly know if a unit is a fast mover as well as how much competition it will face in your market.

This metric utilizes data from web crawlers that scan dealership websites and third party sites daily allowing dealers to see competitors website prices, Autotrader prices, Craigslist prices and so on, all in real time. Top dealers use this information to ensure that their unit is competitively priced compared to identical vehicles in their local market.
