SUMMARY:Used Car Acquisition in 2026. The Game Has Changed.
DESCRIPTION:The old used-car acquisition playbook is no longer enough. Auctions are more competitive\, margins are tighter\, and the best inventory may never enter a traditional wholesale lane. So where will tomorrow’s used vehicles come from—and what must dealers do differently to acquire them profitably?\nIn this candid\, live conversation\, learn how a dealer team built a used-car acquisition machine that now purchases hundreds of vehicles directly from consumers each month. This will not be a polished presentation filled with theories. The conversation will dig into the real operation: the people\, processes\, technology\, marketing\, economics\, mistakes\, and leadership decisions behind the dealership's success.\nAttendees will leave with practical insights they can use to strengthen their acquisition strategy\, reduce their dependence on auctions\, and build a more predictable pipeline of profitable used inventory.\nKey Takeaways:\n\nBuild a repeatable\, scalable process for acquiring vehicles directly from consumers instead of relying primarily on auctions and trades\nIdentify the people\, marketing\, technology\, and operational structure required to create a high-performing vehicle-buying center\nEvaluate acquisition opportunities based on true all-in cost\, speed to market\, inventory needs\, and potential profitability—not simply the purchase price
