Podcasts about Used Cars

(October 02, 2025)Neil Saavedra is in for Bill who is taking the day off for Yom Kippur. Host of ‘How to Money' Joel Larsgaard joins the show to discuss people trading in their cars, why emergency funds are not ‘stupid,' and why freelance work is becoming more popular. Trump has late night shows in his crosshairs… is SNL next? Tennessee is set to execute a woman for the first time in over 200 years.

Carvana (CVNA) had a bumpy road that led the stock to more than 125% year-over-year gains. An upgrade from Jefferies calls it a "best-positioned" stock in the used car market as the company drives toward a new all-time high. Rick Ducat shows how Carvana stacks up to peers like Carmax (KMX), which saw steep selling action after earnings. He offers a detailed view of the company's key levels and options activity.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Too many dealers still believe profit is made on the sale. The truth is profit is made the moment you acquire the car. If you buy wrong, you're already on a one-way road to margin destruction. While you're sitting at the desk hoping to “retail out of a bad buy,” CarMax and Carvana have been rewriting the sourcing playbook, eating away at your margins, and taking the future of retail automotive right out of your hands.In this episode of Follow The Money, host Frank J. Lopes (President of Strong30 Automotive) sits down with Kevin Kershner of Accu-Trade to break down exactly why profit is not made at the sale, why acquisition-first thinking is the only path forward, and how every dealership needs to start running like a used car powerhouse that also sells new.Kevin and Frank don't hold back. They expose how outdated appraisal strategies, slow processes, and poor sourcing decisions destroy gross before a vehicle even hits the lot. They also reveal how acquisition-first operators win by turning cars quickly, sourcing smart, and making it easy, transparent, and fast for customers to sell their vehicles.You'll learn in this episode:Why profit is won or lost at acquisition, not when the deal is inkedThe biggest mistakes draining dealership gross and how to stop themHow to source smarter and stop buying inventory wrongWhy transparency in appraisals wins both customer trust and long-term retentionHow CarMax and Carvana changed the rules while most local dealers looked the other wayWhy every new car store must be run like a used car operation in order to surviveKey Takeaways for Dealers, GMs, and Sales Leaders:Stop relying on “retail out of it” thinking — it no longer worksProtect your gross by making smart acquisitions up frontBuild staying power by turning inventory quickly and profitablyMeet customers where they are with simple, fast, transparent appraisal processesUse data the way big-box competitors do to identify demand and pay the right money for the right carFrank and Kevin also discuss the mindset shift that separates winners from losers in today's retail automotive world. Dealers who continue to think of themselves as “new car stores that also sell some used” will be left behind. Dealers who embrace acquisition-first thinking, who adopt used car strategies, and who build their culture around sourcing smart will thrive over the next decade.This conversation isn't just theory — it's practical advice from two leaders who live in the trenches of retail automotive. If you're a dealer principal, general manager, GSM, or sales manager, this episode is a wake-up call. The old playbook is dead. The new one starts with acquisition.Follow The Money is the podcast built for retail automotive leaders who are ready to grow, adapt, and dominate. Every Tuesday at 9AM, host Frank J. Lopes brings you straight talk and hard-hitting conversations about dealership growth, leadership, advertising, marketing, sales, and culture.

I break down the most-quoted sales scenes from The Wolf of Wall Street and Boiler Room to Jerry Maguire, Joy and Rocky. “Sell me this pen”  “ABC: Always Be Closing”  “Show me the money”  I'm separating cinematic hype from practices that actually build long-term repeat and referral business in the motor trade.  In this solo episode, I unpack the ethics line (influence vs. manipulation), why short-term “smash and grab” tactics burn your brand in a Google-reviews world, and the fundamental skills that win.  We'll use the films to illustrate what to copy (process, numbers, resilience) and what to leave on the cutting-room floor.  Featuring takeaways from Wall Street, Glengarry Glen Ross, Used Cars, The Pursuit of Happiness, Jerry Maguire, Joy and the true story behind Rocky. About Symco Training: Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words ‘real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1113: Today we cover Amazon's push into used car sales, Rivian's legal battle to sell direct in Ohio, and Ikea's first-ever retail partnership with Best Buy. Show Notes with links:Amazon Autos now includes used and certified pre-owned vehicles. Starting in Los Angeles with Hyundai dealers, the program will soon roll out to more cities nationwide.Hyundai dealers can now list used and CPO cars, including non-Hyundai models.Vehicles come with a 3-day/300-mile return policy and a 30-day/1,000-mile warranty.Amazon promises transparent pricing, history reports, and no hidden fees.Customers can browse inventory within 75 miles and schedule test drives online.Amazon's Fan Jin: “This move continues our commitment to support local dealerships, now connecting dealers with more prospective customers online across new, certified pre-owned, and used vehicle categories.”Todd Caputo on LinkedIn: “Amazon sells purchases — not just eyeballs, phone calls, and form fills. Most dealers still make car buying way harder than it has to be. Amazon won't.”Rivian is taking Ohio to court, arguing the state's 2014 ban on direct-to-consumer sales is unconstitutional — especially since Tesla was granted a carve-out to sell under the very same law.Tesla was allowed to operate three Ohio stores under a special exemption.Rivian already runs service centers in the state but must sell cars elsewhere and deliver them in.Rivian says the law shields franchised dealers and seeks an injunction to stop enforcement of the banRivian's filing states: “It reduces competition, decreases consumer choice and drives up consumer costs and inconvenience — all of which harm consumers — with literally no countervailing benefit.”For the first time ever, Ikea is teaming up with another retailer — and the partner is Best Buy. The collaboration will bring mini Ikea showrooms into electronics stores, starting with kitchens and laundry setups.The first 10 hubs launch this fall in Florida and Texas, averaging 1,000 square feet each.Customers can shop Ikea furnishings paired with Best Buy appliances and get design consultations.Two locations will serve as Ikea order pickup centers, expanding fulfillment options.The partnership mirrors Target's Ulta and Kohl's Sephora mini-stores — aiming for “one-stop home solutions.”Ikea COO Rob Olson: “This new partnership is really allowing us to bring the Ikea experience closer to where people live.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

KFI correspondent Rory O'Neill speaks on tariffs and holiday decorations. Courtney Donohoe from Bloomberg joins the show to talk about the latest in business and what is affecting the markets today. The show closes with the host of ‘How to Money' Joel Larsgaard talking about tax breaks on EV and Americans paying $1000 a month for their car.

In this enlightening presentation, Alex Meaney breaks down the fundamental concepts of airflow in HVAC systems using practical analogies and real-world examples. Rather than diving straight into complex mathematics, Alex focuses on helping technicians and contractors understand what's actually happening inside ductwork and why traditional design methods may be falling short in modern residential systems. Alex begins by addressing one of the most critical yet misunderstood aspects of ductwork: the exponential relationship between duct size and airflow capacity. He explains that the difference between a 6-inch and 7-inch duct isn't just 17% more capacity—it's actually 36% more, because airflow is determined by cross-sectional area (which increases geometrically) rather than linear measurements. This fundamental misunderstanding leads to significant underperformance in many HVAC installations. The presentation tackles the confusion surrounding pressure terminology in the HVAC industry, where the single word "pressure" is used to describe four distinct concepts: static pressure, velocity pressure, pressure loss, and external static pressure. Alex uses creative analogies, including a memorable demonstration with an inflatable tube dancer (referencing the "used car lot" in his title), to illustrate how static pressure and velocity pressure are always in balance—when one increases, the other decreases proportionally. A major focus of the discussion centers on why the traditional 0.1 inches of water column per 100 feet friction rate, long considered standard in residential duct design, is no longer adequate for modern systems. Alex explains that today's homes have evolved significantly: they're larger, use more restrictive filters for air quality, have more complex coil designs, and often place equipment in suboptimal locations. These factors combine to create much higher system resistance than the 0.1 standard was designed to handle. He advocates for using lower friction rates (like 0.06) and emphasizes that proper duct sizing is more critical than ever. The presentation concludes with practical insights about system design philosophy, emphasizing that while homeowners may not complain about poorly performing systems, HVAC professionals should use objective measurement tools rather than customer satisfaction as the primary indicator of system performance. Alex stresses that craftsmen in the field will make systems work regardless of design flaws, but this shouldn't excuse poor initial design practices. Key Topics Covered Duct Sizing Fundamentals The geometric relationship between duct diameter and airflow capacity Why linear measurements can be misleading when calculating system performance The critical importance of proper duct sizing in modern installations Pressure Concepts Demystified Static pressure vs. velocity pressure and their inverse relationship How pressure and friction work together in ductwork systems External static pressure as a measure of fan capability The role of pressure in airflow generation and control Friction and Resistance in Ductwork Understanding friction as the primary enemy of airflow How fittings create equivalent lengths of straight duct The impact of direction changes and system components on airflow Comparing flex duct vs. metal duct friction characteristics Modern System Design Challenges Why traditional 0.1 friction rates no longer work effectively The evolution of residential systems: larger homes, better filters, complex coils Equipment placement strategies and their impact on system performance The "war on sensible" and "war on blowers" affecting modern HVAC design Measurement and Verification Methods Tools for measuring static pressure and velocity pressure The importance of using objective measurement tools over customer satisfaction Available static pressure calculations and their practical applications Manual D design principles and their real-world limitations Practical Design Philosophy Working backwards from blower capacity rather than arbitrary friction rates Balancing system performance with budget constraints The importance of central equipment placement for optimal airflow Professional standards vs. "good enough" mentality in system design   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
