Dealerships are increasingly using AI tools to enhance operations, such as pre-qualifying used-car acquisition leads and shaping buying decisions. Major players like CarMax and Carvana are impacting the used car market, with Carvana scaling its footprint and CarMax seeing a surge in delinquencies. Economic uncertainty and changing consumer behaviors are driving these shifts, with some dealers focusing on building relationships and culture to stay competitive.

That's nearly 3X more than in [----]. 3X Huh Why It's simple. Street purchases = no auction fees $$ more gross profit and a unique selection of cars. As auction"
