• Supplement with Auction Buying:
  Use tools like Manheim, AccuTrade, and vAuto Stockwave/Inventory+ to selectively acquire high-demand models that align with our market needs.
• Analyze Market Data:
  Leverage tools such as Manheim Market Analytics, KBB, and Carfax to monitor pricing trends, inventory gaps, and days-to-turn — ensuring every acquisition supports retail performance and profitability goals.
• Collaborate Across Departments:
  Work closely with Service, Sales, and Management to balance inventory mix, optimize appraisals, and deliver a seamless customer experience from the first handshake to the final handshake.
• Champion the Brand:
  Represent the Fletcher Jones Motorcars name with integrity, enthusiasm, and professionalism at every touchpoint.
