The Habit Costing You $3,000 a Trade","html":"<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless src=\"https://share.transistor.fm/e/78dc71b2\"></iframe>","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":3264,"description":"Are you running a retail dealership from a wholesale vantage point? Chris Keene and John Anderson break down why anchoring appraisals and pricing to MMR and auction data turns good operators into wait-and-see dealers, and what it cost one new client about $3,000 per trade on F-250s he sold in 11 and 16 days. They unpack the Carvana vs. CarMax numbers (38% growth vs. a 1% drop in the same market), what Van Horn's 2.42 to 1 used-to-new ratio has to do with a 98.86% review response rate, and the \"money, machine, or me\" test every manager should run before touching a price. Then Chris shares his screen: a top-performing 389-unit dealer with a Kona at 86 VDPs and zero leads, a market that moved 5% in four days, and roughly 100 units that went the wrong direction inside a week. Plus the Q4 game plan: sell what you stock, 65% out of the first 30 days, and under 10% aged by November.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yXL06WU-f2HIhZOsfrp2XAr89BkFso_AzR7JHcY8Ad0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kMjEx/N2U5MjliMDBjMTA4/YmFjN2JkYmI0ZGE1/NTRlYi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
