Description

In this episode of Drive To Success: Mastering Auto Finance, we pull back the curtain on a topic most car buyers and even some dealership pros rarely think about: what happens when brand-new vehicles sit unsold on the lot?

From floor plan financing and grace periods to shrinking profit margins and auction losses, we break down the real financial impact of aging inventory on franchise dealerships. Whether you’re a buyer looking for a great deal, or a dealer decision-maker managing lot turns — this episode gives you insight into the ticking clock behind every unsold vehicle.

You’ll learn:

How floor plan financing works

What a 180-day-old car really costs the dealer

How deep discounts and incentives are often driven by aging inventory

Why backend income becomes crucial when front-end profit disappears

This episode is your guide to understanding the financial pressure dealerships face — and how smart buyers and sellers can navigate it.
