Remarketing Strategy
Although used vehicle values have declined in five of the last six months, it has not been the collapse that many analysts have warned of for more than a year due to increasing wholesale supplies. In fact, what weakness we have seen is probably more a result of excessive new vehicle inventory, not used. At retail, the used vehicle market remains healthy, and dealers have needed only a modest decline in auction pricing to maintain acceptable inventory turn rates.
