According to new J.D. Power research, the value of the same used vehicle can vary by $100 to $1,000 depending on the market.

More options in the lane are giving dealers room to be selective.

Auction conversion rates continue to soften as wholesale inventory expands, putting even more emphasis on buying the right vehicles at the right price.

For independent dealers, that makes flexibility especially important. The ability to act when the right inventory crosses the lane — without unnecessarily tying up working capital — can make a difference in a changing wholesale market.

See what’s happening in the lanes in this update from Dealership Guy.

The biggest financing company isn’t automatically the best financing partner.
Independent dealerships have different inventory, markets, customers and growth plans. City Auto Finance believes your floorplan should reflect that.
That’s why we work individually with dealers to develop financing solutions around their needs.
Not every dealership is the same. Why should every floorplan be?

We know our customers.
We know our markets.
And we know the used-car business.
That matters.

New data from CarGurus shows used-vehicle demand increased for the second straight month in August, with especially strong interest at both ends of the market: newer used vehicles and older, lower-priced inventory. Vehicles under $25,000 are also sitting at less than 45 days of supply.

For independent dealers, having the flexibility to source the inventory customers are looking for can make all the difference.
