What the lot actually does
A dealer who publishes prices but not outcomes is asking you to take his word for it. This page is the outcome: what our stock fetches, how long it takes to move, what we spend putting cars right, and which segments sit.

Asking-price index
BASE 100 · JANUARY
The index tracks our own asking prices across the whole lot, weighted by days listed. It is recalculated from closed months on the first business day of each month — and never revised upwards after the fact.

SER-02
Days to sale by segment
MEDIAN DAYS
Median days between listing and cleared funds. Performance cars take more than twice as long as trucks, which is why we do not over-stock them.
SER-03
Sell-through in 30 days
%
Share of units in each segment that found a buyer inside thirty days.
- TRUCKS 82 %
- SUVS 74 %
- CARS 61 %
- PERFORMANCE 44 %
- VANS 68 %
- UNDER $25K 88 %
SER-04
Where the cars come from
% OF PURCHASES
Auction buys dominate volume, but lease returns and private cars carry the best condition scores — and the fewest surprises.
- AUCTION 46 %
- LEASE RETURN 21 %
- PRIVATE 19 %
- TRADE-IN 11 %
- FLEET 3 %
SER-05
Where the cars go
% OF SALES
Roughly a third never leaves Florida; the rest ships. Export paperwork is a small but growing slice.
- FLORIDA 34 %
- GEORGIA / ALABAMA 16 %
- TEXAS 12 %
- CAROLINAS 9 %
- NORTHEAST 14 %
- MIDWEST 8 %
- EXPORT 7 %
SER-06
Reconditioning spend
% OF WORK ORDER VALUE
Every unit goes through the bay. Powertrain and brakes absorb most of the money — cosmetically rough cars are cheaper to buy and we would rather spend on the parts that keep you moving.
- POWERTRAIN 34 %
- BRAKES & TYRES 26 %
- SUSPENSION 17 %
- ELECTRICAL 11 %
- COSMETIC 12 %

How to read this page
METHOD
-
NOTE-01
These are our own numbers
Everything on this page is calculated from our purchase, reconditioning and sale journal — not scraped from a listing aggregator, and not smoothed to look tidy.
-
NOTE-02
Updated monthly
The series are recalculated on the first business day of each month from the closed month. Sold units stay published so the index cannot be quietly revised upwards.
-
NOTE-03
Read the index, not the sticker
The price index tracks what our stock actually fetches. When it drops, our asking prices drop; when it climbs, we tell you that too.
