In current market conditions franchised car dealerships that normally only purchase 4-5 CR [Condition Rating] cars are having to purchase 2-3 CR Cars.
This presents problems most dealers don’t normally have to handle with heavy reconditioning. Exterior dings, dents & scratches + wheel scuffs & the list goes on. Interior odors, buttons missing or not working.
With all that said, the name of the game is still the same. You make your money when you buy, not when you sell. So now more than ever buyers will earn their keep by ensuring they are stocking their dealers with not only vehicles they can sell quickly once front line ready but that still has a profit left after the heavy reconditioning.
