A Call to Return to Retail-Back Acquisitions

from vAuto Podcast Hosted by vAuto Podcast

In this vAuto podcast episode, host Lance Helgeson and vAuto founder and executive vice president Dale Pollak discuss Dale’s prescription for dealer’s to return to retail-back acquisitions. Dale shares an overview of improving retail and wholesale market conditions, and how these changes make a reliance on wholesale valuations less necessary and useful given the increasing relevance and reliability of retail supply/demand insights. Dale describes why the current moment provides what may be a short-term opportunity for dealers to acquire vehicles with front-end margins dealers have not seen in some time. Dale also shares a cautionary perspective on inventory acquisition levels, given uncertainty about sustained retail demand through the summer and fall.
