So the day I bought the car, I could have called a dealer that specialized in those cars and sold the car directly to them as a profit.
Wow.
Right.
About two weeks after I bought the car, the tariff situation started to kind of like come into the mix.
Now that car is worth about 25% less than I paid for it.
Damn, right?
And it, you know, it's like a roller coaster, right?
So now, and I think this is the case with majority of car dealers.
they're not willing to invest their personal money or take any liability on these cars unless they have them pre-sold to somebody else.
And I think it's like a daisy chain of pre-sold only to the end user.
Like one dealer will sell to another dealer only because the dealer has a retail buyer on it over here.
It's very similar to dropshipping, right?
And you got to think like there's a dealership here locally in town that has an inventory of like 300 cars.
Vegas Autogaller.
Right?
And so let's say you walk in there and just do simple math, right?
Like 300 cars, let's say you floor them, right?
The average car costs like $200,000.
How much is that?
You know, I mean, do the math.
