Live Market View Q2 2023 | New Cars are Back | vAuto

Published Date
Author Derek Hansen

As new car inventories and sales return, there’s a risk‑filled ripple effect for dealers.

In this edition of Live Market View, Derek Hansen, vice president of operations for Cox Automotive and vAuto, and Brian Finkelmeyer, senior director of new car solutions for Cox Automotive, discuss how the rise of new vehicle inventories require dealers to more diligently manage higher floor plan expenses, address new/used vehicle buyer affordability challenges and optimize their new/used inventory mix to drive gross and volume across variable operations.

About the Author

Derek Hansen is Vice President of Operations for vAuto and Cox Automotive where he leads business, product innovation and operational teams that help client dealers achieve more profitable, efficient and seamless outcomes in new and used vehicles.
