A car might look like it sold “on time,” but if it sat 45 days on one lot and another 30 after a transfer, it’s been tying up capital for 75 days. That delay chips away at margin and momentum. Smart placement is everything. Get the car to the right store from the start—or pivot before the clock runs out.
