Why the New Car Department Will Never Be...

David Spisak
About this episode

Hey, it’s David here. I’m going solo on this one, and I’ve got something on my mind that I just couldn’t wait to share with you. Let’s talk about something that might make a few people uncomfortable, but it’s too important to ignore—your used car department.

For years, we’ve all been conditioned to believe that the new car department is the beating heart of our dealerships. But here’s the thing: times have changed. The real secret to future-proofing your dealership’s profitability lies in your used car department. Yep, you heard that right.

 In this solo episode, I'm going to share why the new car department, as we know it, will never be the same again and why your dealership's future lies in mastering used cars. We'll talk about the data, the processes, and the mindset shifts that can transform your used car operation from an occasional win to a consistent, profit-driving machine. 

If you're ready to rethink how you approach your dealership's success, this episode is for you.
