BANGALORE, INDIA, November 14, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ --
KEY FINDINGS
1. The US used car market size in US is estimated at $750 Billion in 2019, ~30% bigger than the new car market. The market is extremely fragmented (like most countries) and the biggest player has less than 2% market share
2. It is getting harder and harder to find good inventory (one- or two-owner, accident-free vehicles). Some dealers prefer their own certified programs and do only the minimum for the programs laid down by the car OEMs
3. About 30% of vehicle sales happen at franchised dealerships. Certified pre-owned vehicles, account for just ~5-6% of total used car sales but they had higher average profits and faster take-off rates in 2017-Oct 2019 period.
4. The gross profit including finance and insurance for franchised dealers varies between 8-12% per vehicle and about 9-10 cars are sold per month per sales representative
5. Shortage of technicians and fleet drivers is a cause of major concern for used car retailers
