The Profit Potential in Private Vehicle Acquisition

In the third episode of Vehicle Acquisition Council for 2022, Tom and Mark discuss the profit potential of private vehicle acquisition. Mark and Tom put forth the idea that although the shortages of new cars are our current reality, the profit margins for dealers selling new and used vehicles have increased significantly. They also express that although many dealers are finding it harder to purchase vehicles from consumers, dealers must be willing to engage and follow up and stick with the seller in order to be successful. Once the vehicles are acquired, it is much easier for dealers to sell.
