Days-to-sell: current vs target

How we'd move these numbers

▸Recon throughput: a 3-day cut in shop-to-line time is pure margin, every day removed is $1,800/mo across your volume.

▸Pricing to market: data-driven repricing on day 30/45 prevents the aged-unit spiral that kills ROI.

▸Acquisition mix: sourcing the right segments lifts both turn and gross at the same time.

How to use this tool

Set units sold per month to your used-car volume.
Enter your average acquisition and recon cost per unit.
Set your holding cost per day, if you're not sure, $30 is a safe industry estimate.
Drop in your average front and back gross.
Now drag current days-to-sell to where you really are, then drag the target down. The orange number is what faster turn is worth every year.

Where to find these numbers

▸Units & gross: your DMS used-car sales report (last 90 days, then divide by 3 for a monthly average).
▸Days-to-sell: your inventory aging report, average days in stock for sold units.
▸Recon cost: your recon or service-internal report; average RO cost to front a unit.
▸Holding cost: floorplan interest + estimated daily depreciation + lot/insurance. Don't overthink it, an estimate is fine.
