I like the spreadsheet.  Its a good alternative to software.  Like I said, I've been urging Dale Pollak to make something like this part of vAuto and I am sure they are working on it as a tool to promote "velocity."  I am currently on a strict 60 day policy and I have migrated mostly to a 45 day turn policy.  The excuse I always hear from a UCM or GSM when I mark a car for auction is that they "didn't get the car until the 20th day in stock" because of service or recon or the body shop, etc.  But the market doesn't care where the car is in your recon process when it comes to depreciation so what ever its true age, that is its true age.  If something like this could give me the ability pay a bonus to my Recon Manager and Service Manager for getting cars through the shop, the quicker we get them pictured and like Andrew said, the more impressions we get and possible CTR on our website, cars.com, etc.


Good stuff.


Thanks Joe.
