Carvana is retailing 3% of used cars but acquiring nearly 13% of them directly from consumers. Brian Kramer, EVP, Dealer Growth & Success at Cars Commerce, breaks down how consistent appraisals and transparent offers are helping them dominate vehicle acquisition. "Between CarMax and Carvana, they retail just under 3% of the total used car sales in the us. But they acquired just under 13% of the vehicles from consumers." "They connect the online to the in-store experience exceptionally well, and what consumers experience after they appraise their car online is what they said it was going to be when they actually arrive." "What we found on a recent study is: the more vehicles you appraise, I mean, it's not rocket science, but the higher you trade capture, but the interesting part was, the less trades you miss." - Thank you to our partner HaigPartners!

California dealers are gearing up for new transparency standards under the Combating Auto Retail Scams Act. Dennis Gingrich, Sales & Finance Director at The Niello Company, breaks down how the CARS Act is reshaping dealer communication and compliance. "We've gotta put all the numbers of the transaction in every single communication, was our interpretation, and that's gonna be a heavy lift." "You look at all these studies, what do customers want? Transparency. Just give it to 'em, you know? And build value, and stick to the basics, and we're all gonna be fine." "You can be a great salesperson, be transparent, be compliant, and make a really good living. So when you lay your head on the pillow at night, you feel good about what you do, right? And the better we do at that, the more repeat and referral business we can earn." Daily Dealer live hosted by Sam D'Arc and Ulisse de' Martino - Thank you to our partner AppraisalPRO!

Ford’s national employee pricing program is becoming a branding asset. Alex Perdikis, CEO-Owner of KoonsMotors, breaks down its structure and results. "Everyone that buys a Ford in America gets employee pricing, and it's not dealership employee pricing, and it's not some gimmick, you actually get Ford Factory employee pricing." "You go into COVID situation, you know where that happened, 2020, everything's getting shut down. We all kind of work together, with a lot of the executives at Ford, coming up with different programs." "Ford's positioned really, really well because they build so many cars in America. And we're the largest, in terms of manufacturer, that builds cars, and actually truly builds cars in America." - Thank you to our partner TransUnion! Check them out by visiting

🇺🇸 SEC NOEM: “THESE PEOPLE ARE ORGANIZED - THEY'RE MAKING PLANS TO AMBUSH AND KILL OFFICERS” "They got them cornered, pinned them down, and when our agents got out of their cars, they tried to run them over and had semi-automatic handguns on them. Our agents had to protect themselves and shots were fired. An individual ended up in the hospital.

"If 52% of our deals are happening day five and beyond after that initial engagement, and then your follow-up doesn't match that, it means our team needed to be more engaged longer." AI tools are exposing where dealership follow-up drops off too early. Dennis Gingrich, Sales & Finance Director at The Niello Company, explains why longer customer timelines are forcing stores to compare follow-up activity against when deals actually close.

"If you have ambitions to be a Professor at Yale, Harvard, or one of these big institutions, the way you do that is mostly by getting funding for research. It's by getting a lot of publishing - a lot flying around the world to talk about something. You need all of these things to bolster your reputation as an international expert in this area. Now, the best way to do that, at least in psychiatry but I suspect in other areas of medicine, is actually to collaborate with pharmaceutical companies to run clinical trials. They write the publications for you - most of it, they do a lot of the grunt work, they give you the protocols, and then, essentially, they fund you and fly you around the place. I used to remember, as a junior doctor, looking up to the Professors. And they would say, 'These drugs are safe and effective. There's not a lot of problems there.' ...What I've seen more and more is that they've been compromised, and that they have incentives tied to the money and to career advancement. That means that they can't be as forthright as they ought to be about these things. And it's gotten to a problem where these are the Professors who are training the doctors who are setting the tone for what is acceptable care out there. And I think that's one of the biggest problems out there." - @taperclinic

Third-party listing sites are facing new backlash over how vehicle prices are presented. Andrew Wright, Managing Partner at Vinart Dealerships, explains why conditional pricing and deal ratings are distorting customer trust. "It's hard to log on to one of the big third-party listing companies in the New York market and find a listing that is not just chock-full of all of these conditional incentives, rebates, whatever you want to call them. All it's doing is, number one, contributing to a very poor customer experience because they can't walk into the showroom and buy the car for what they saw it online for. Unless they do all these different things. But also, and this is the thing that I find most ironic, this is the same data that is powering the appraisal tools that we are all using to appraise, value, market, merchandise, our inventory."

German MEP Christine Anderson argues that governments "overplayed their cards" during the Covid era, setting in motion a mass awakening that can no longer be reversed. "The people stood up... And then they overplayed their cards. They came down even harder on the people to get them to do what they wanted them to do, and that woke more people up." "That was like a vicious cycle. The more people rebelled... the harder the state bashed down on them, the more people woke up." "And that's the situation we're in now. The genie is out of the bottle and they will not ever get it back in." "There is light at the end of the tunnel because a lot of people have woken up, and a lot of people will continue to wake up... in the months and years to come." "But I can tell you, buckle up. They're stepping up their game, so we have to do the same thing."

This mechanic says that if it wasn’t for American made cars, he doesn’t know if they would be in business. He points out that all the cars currently in the bays are American made. He says they work on all makes and models but it’s the American made cars the make up the majority of their business. He says that the only foreign cars in the parking lot belong to himself and other people who work there. He says if you want a car that lasts, buy a Toyota. I had a Honda Civic once and got over 500K miles on it. Had a Nissan and got well over 300K miles on it. I have owned Ford, Chevy and GM cars. I’ll be honest, they didn’t last like the foreign cars. I do think American trucks are better than foreign trucks but why can’t we make good cars that last ? What do you think? Do you think he’s right? Are you a die hard Ford Chevy or GM person? Do you own a foreign car or an American made car?

Hi GoBid as a proudly South African company we at View4You disagree with the fact that people cannot run diagnostics, check the car to see if it starts check for any warning lights, check fluids on your cars. We understand moving them is not doable like all other auctions. Our founder recently reached out to your ambassador mumbo repairs and asked Him why your cars are not auctioned with a report stating the truth about the car as we have come across cases of possible mileage fraud and a case of a cloned car at GoBid. The response we received was that it would be difficult as the quantities are large and it would be costly. He also stated these cars are from various banks insurers etc. He further stated that GoBid will allow us to do our own inspections before we bid. His answers are acceptable and understandable. However, they do depict or show a lack of or no interest in protecting the consumer. Now today we were stopped from running a diagnostic, we were not allowed to get the car started and we were also not allowed to check the fluids. How can people bid confidently with these limitations? Now our humble request is, please permit us to run our checks thoroughly to ensure we know what we are bidding on. All other auctions permit such and it’s only you who does not allow it. A diagnostic test is crucial in the process of practicing due diligence, if you do not want us to run a diagnostic, can you please run it and place the report on the windscreen of your cars that can be diagnosed? You can contact us at info@view4you.co.za and we can run it on all your cars if you do not have the capacity to do so. Thank You.
