First and foremost the link you attached isn't working, and I'd love to see what you were referring too.Secondly, I don't think in today's competitive wholesale grind that anyone is straying away from cars that need reasonable recon...That said, everyone's business model is different, but again, not impervious to the recon bug.CAPITAL IS KING, and ultimately the demographic you target dictates the level of recon your store should incorporate.Your logic obviously has merit to it, but recon is only one facet to getting a great deal. It's important to remember that CR score is relative to the amount of transactions that year/make/model has within that auction. For example you have two brand new 2021 whatevers.....one is flawless 5.0... the other has a few rock chips, a check engine due to an 02 sensor, and maybe some aftermarket wheels/radio. ....Well because the latter of the two units is the first for it's year/make/model to report anything besides a 5/5....whatever score it ends up compiling will drastically affect the adjusted wholesale value....Think about the "damages I mentioned"....from a cost perspective your taking 500 bucks maybe....but because of the lack of transactions that 3.0/5.0 (or whatever they give the second car) will drastically lower the wholesale value of the car far beyond the cost of those repairs.....BEING A GOOD BUYER IS ABOUT MANIPULATING THE DATA, UNDERSTANDING WHERE THE LACK OF DATA LIES AND HOW TO UTILIZE THAT UNDERSTANDING AS FINANCIAL LEVERGE.
