We believe that dale is totally correct when it comes to an "efficient market" for pre-owned vehicles. One has to price their inventory to maximize web hits. The only advantage we might still have is by turning a purchase deal into a lease. We can at least make some back end and shorten the trading cycle! Arbitrage identifies vehicles that can be purchased for a price close to what the future residual will be. Currently, there are over 100 make/models that can be purchased today for LESS than the 24 month residual. I have never seen this in 38 years of watching the pre-owned market. There are historical opportunities for those who know how to play the game! We use Cybercalc Arbitrage.. of course, we developed it so that stands to reason.

An interest/profit only lease might have a really cheap payment! You could undercut the market on price and max out the back end, and still make a killing!
