In this episode of the CPQ Podcast, Frank Sohn speaks with Garima and Pulin about how AI-driven fair market value (FMV) intelligence can support pricing and CPQ-related processes in the used IT asset market. The conversation goes beyond product features and also explores the personal stories behind the business. Garima shares her journey from flight attendant to entrepreneur and explains why perseverance has been such an important strength throughout her career. Pulin talks about starting out in finance, teaching himself computer skills, learning from a failed startup, and even driving Uber in the early days of the company to help keep the business going. On the business side, this episode looks at how their platform is designed to bring more structure and pricing transparency to the used IT asset industry. Pulin describes the goal as creating something similar to a Kelly Blue Book for used IT assets, while Garima explains why fair market value is at the center of the platform. The discussion also covers why they see CPQ and their business as mirror images, how FMV-based intelligence can influence pricing decisions, and why this matters for organizations involved in reverse supply chain and asset monetization processes. Frank, Garima, and Pulin also discuss the company's ideal customer profile, including OEMs, VARs, and ITAD organizations, as well as broader trends around AI, data, integration, and the future of pricing. This episode is especially relevant for anyone interested in: CPQ AI in pricing Fair market value intelligence Quote-to-cash Used IT asset pricing Reverse supply chain technology IT asset disposition (ITAD) If you work in CPQ, pricing, revenue operations, or B2B technology, this conversation offers a different perspective on how pricing intelligence can shape commercial processes in markets that have historically lacked consistent benchmarks.

The century-long story of how we value cars has dramatically shifted from dog-eared pages to digital databases. Before the internet, car dealers, buyers, and even divorce courts relied on physical booklets like Kelly Blue Book and NADA guides to determine fair market prices. These guides weren't just reference materials—they were essential tools that brought transparency to a notoriously opaque market.NADA began tracking vehicle values in 1922, creating a standardized system that expanded far beyond dealership lots. During World War II, as manufacturing materials were diverted to the war effort, these guides became crucial in preventing price gouging when used car demand skyrocketed. Even government assistance programs consulted these books when determining eligibility, considering vehicle value as part of an applicant's assets.The digital revolution changed everything. What started with experimental floppy disks and CD-ROMs in the 1990s evolved into sophisticated online platforms delivering real-time valuations based on multiple factors. By 2017, the last physical guides rolled off the presses, marking the end of an era but the beginning of a more efficient system for everyone involved in buying and selling vehicles.This week's episode also covers significant recalls, including a serious Ford steering column defect affecting over 115,000 vehicles. We play our popular "Guess the Sold Price" game with classics like a 1967 Mustang convertible and a stunning 1932 Ford Roadster with flames. Plus, we honor Tsutumo Tom Matano, the visionary designer of the Mazda MX-5 Miata who recently passed away at 78.Whether you're a car enthusiast, industry professional, or simply curious about automotive history, this episode offers fascinating insights into how technology continues to transform the way we value, buy, and sell vehicles.

Americans are infatuated with big vehicles. Whether it's a lifted pickup truck, an SUV that seats eight, or even mid-size SUVs, you can't help but see these vehicles just about everywhere you drive. In fact, just three years ago—except for the Mustang—Ford completely stopped making cars altogether so it could concentrate on turning out more trucks and SUVs for consumers It was a crucial decision, but was it the right one. Brian Moody from Kelly Blue Book joins us on the On Your Side podcast. He says a new analysis finds that larger vehicles have been losing market share since 2022. So, what does that mean for American consumers and what types of vehicles are we turning to for remainder of the year?

Hyundai/Kia will begin offering a security system for its older models that have been targeted by thieves due to the ease in which they can be started without keys. The average transaction price paid for a new car was $48,182 in July, marking a new record, according to Kelly Blue Book. The price is up $139 from June.
Gas prices are sky high right now, but it may not matter if you can't afford to buy a car. Prices for new and used cars have hit record highs. We'll talk about that today on MoneyWise. Just how bad are car prices these days? One way to tell is by the average monthly payments you now have to make to buy a vehicle. A new report by Cox Automotive and Moody's Analytics shows that monthly payments for new cars are now averaging $712 a month and that a median of over 41 weeks of income is now needed for the average new car purchase. The latest data from the Consumer Price Index shows that new car prices jumped 12.6% in the last year. That, and rising interest rates continue to drive monthly payments to record highs. Kelly Blue Book is reporting that the average new car price in May was just over $47,000. Incredibly, price hikes are even worse for used car prices. They've gone up more than 16% since last year. In addition to higher interest rates, another factor driving payments higher is the continued shortage of computer chips required in today's vehicles. Analysts are predicting that the chip shortage probably won't get worse but then again it's not likely to get any better in the months ahead. The bottom line, analysts say, is that the rapid rise in prices for new and used cars is likely to tail off but due to a continued tight inventory they're not expected to decline for the rest of 2022. So, what can you do about it? Well, obviously, if you can afford to wait to buy either a new or used car, do it. In a year, things may look different, but they're not likely to be much worse. But if you need a vehicle, first make sure you have a hefty down payment. Ideally, you want to save enough after paying off a car loan to make an even bigger down payment. If you keep doing that, you'll be able to pay cash and not finance the vehicle at all. You'll save a trunk load of interest costs. Now, if you're buying a new vehicle, there are certain fees that you may be able to negotiate your way out of, so look for these on the window sticker. ADVERTISING FEE: First is an advertising fee. The dealer may insist on charging you for it, but it should be listed on the vehicle in plain view. If they spring it on you when you're signing papers, do your best to have it taken out. PREPARATION CHARGE: Here's another one to look for, something called a dealer preparation charge. Theoretically, it would cover prepping the vehicle for display on the lot and finalizing the sale, but this cost should be included in the retail price of the car not an added fee. FABRIC PROTECTION: Next, you might see a fabric protection fee. Ask to have that one taken off. If you're worried about staining the upholstery, just buy a few cans of Scotchgard and do it yourself. It'll be a lot cheaper. PAINT PROTECTION: Another fee you should try to avoid paying is for paint protection. This is a urethane film put on the car, but you shouldn't need it. Any rust that appears would be covered by the warranty. Instead of this protection, just ask for wax when you go through the car wash. VIN ETCHING: One more fee you shouldn't pay when buying a new car: vehicle identification number etching. It's true that this would make it more difficult for thieves to resell your car if it's stolen, but you can do it yourself or take it to an auto repair shop and have it done much cheaper than the dealer would charge. USED CAR TIPS Now for some tips on buying a used car, assuming you already know the vehicle or vehicles that would work best for you. Go online to Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds.com. You can plug in a vehicle's year, make, model and mileage to get an idea of what you should expect to pay. To find potential used vehicles, you can also go online and check AutoTrader, Craigslist, AutoList and CarMax. Once you find a vehicle you like and you've settled on a price, make that contingent on the car passing inspection. Take it to a trusted, independent mechanic for a thorough going over. But then also check the vehicle history at CarFax and AutoCheck. It may have been involved in an accident. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ● How should you manage a land trust? ● When does it make sense to convert traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs? ● When is it wise to invest in real estate vs investing more in the market? Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000 or email them to Questions@MoneyWise.org.

It'll be a lot cheaper. PAINT PROTECTION: Another fee you should try to avoid paying is for paint protection. This is a urethane film put on the car, but you shouldn't need it. Any rust that appears would be covered by the warranty. Instead of this protection, just ask for wax when you go through the car wash. VIN ETCHING: One more fee you shouldn't pay when buying a new car: vehicle identification number etching. It's true that this would make it more difficult for thieves to resell your car if it's stolen, but you can do it yourself or take it to an auto repair shop and have it done much cheaper than the dealer would charge. USED CAR TIPS Now for some tips on buying a used car, assuming you already know the vehicle or vehicles that would work best for you. Go online to Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds.com. You can plug in a vehicle's year, make, model and mileage to get an idea of what you should expect to pay. To find potential used vehicles, you can also go online and check AutoTrader, Craigslist, AutoList and CarMax. Once you find a vehicle you like and you've settled on a price, make that contingent on the car passing inspection. Take it to a trusted, independent mechanic for a thorough going over. But then also check the vehicle history at CarFax and AutoCheck. It may have been involved in an accident. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ● How should you manage a land trust? ● When does it make sense to convert traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs? ● When is it wise to invest in real estate vs investing more in the market?

Gas prices are sky high right now, but it may not matter if you can't afford to buy a car. Prices for new and used cars have hit record highs. We'll talk about that today on MoneyWise. Just how bad are car prices these days? One way to tell is by the average monthly payments you now have to make to buy a vehicle. A new report by Cox Automotive and Moody's Analytics shows that monthly payments for new cars are now averaging $712 a month and that a median of over 41 weeks of income is now needed for the average new car purchase. The latest data from the Consumer Price Index shows that new car prices jumped 12.6% in the last year. That, and rising interest rates continue to drive monthly payments to record highs. Kelly Blue Book is reporting that the average new car price in May was just over $47,000. Incredibly, price hikes are even worse for used car prices. They've gone up more than 16% since last year. In addition to higher interest rates, another factor driving payments higher is the continued shortage of computer chips required in today's vehicles. Analysts are predicting that the chip shortage probably won't get worse but then again it's not likely to get any better in the months ahead. The bottom line, analysts say, is that the rapid rise in prices for new and used cars is likely to tail off but due to a continued tight inventory they're not expected to decline for the rest of 2022. So, what can you do about it? Well, obviously, if you can afford to wait to buy either a new or used car, do it. In a year, things may look different, but they're not likely to be much worse. But if you need a vehicle, first make sure you have a hefty down payment. Ideally, you want to save enough after paying off a car loan to make an even bigger down payment. If you keep doing that, you'll be able to pay cash and not finance the vehicle at all. You'll save a trunk load of interest costs. Now, if you're buying a new vehicle, there are certain fees that you may be able to negotiate your way out of, so look for these on the window sticker. ADVERTISING FEE: First is an advertising fee. The dealer may insist on charging you for it, but it should be listed on the vehicle in plain view. If they spring it on you when you're signing papers, do your best to have it taken out. PREPARATION CHARGE: Here's another one to look for, something called a dealer preparation charge. Theoretically, it would cover prepping the vehicle for display on the lot and finalizing the sale, but this cost should be included in the retail price of the car not an added fee. FABRIC PROTECTION: Next, you might see a fabric protection fee. Ask to have that one taken off. If you're worried about staining the upholstery, just buy a few cans of Scotchgard and do it yourself. It'll be a lot cheaper. PAINT PROTECTION: Another fee you should try to avoid paying is for paint protection. This is a urethane film put on the car, but you shouldn't need it.
