Traded my old one in when I went to Texas. They probably made $500 on the whole swap, but at that volume, you're making between $15k and $40k a day. They probably make say $750 on an average deal, so that itself would be $25-60k/day. That is crazy money, and the regular brick-and-motors couldn't come anywhere close to that, right? I mean, most of their clientele comes during lunch or takes off of work early to buy a car


So are you guys taking these vehicles to a local dealer when you need work done? How is that working out?

When I was in F&I I made sure customers who purchased with us received preferential placement and treatment. If they bought a 3+ products from me they'd be VIP, basically front of line maintenance and whatever else to get them in and out ASAP (because, well, warranty work for a dealer is guaranteed to be paid so, yeah, that's the shite I like)

If I'm buying used it's not going to the dealership for service
