How Long Will An OEM Dealer Keep A Used Car (Not Their Brand) On Their Lot?

Zero point zero

 

Welp, coming up on 60 days soon (used car on the lot).

I want to blink, but I am holding off as much as possible.

 

Welp, too late, sold.

It was a 2014 BMW Alpina B7 in Alpina Blue, 33,000 miles. SWB and RWD.

They were asking $46K. I was not going to spend more than $30K, the book value.

On to the next one to find.

Who knows, maybe they just dropped the listing and I will see it pop up later.

 

Typical well-run car dealerships usually operate their used car departments on a 45-day turn. Meaning they try to retail a used unit in 45 days, then wholesale it. This crazy market might effect that, but not that much. Remember, the auctions are paying crazy money too.

 

Most are 90 days and often auction prices exceed the retail price. Insane market right now.
