Hi Joe,


I appreciate your comments.  I had noticed this older thread had been revitalized and had some interesting opinions.  Having said that, I suppose I was trying to avoid taking this thread down the road of tit for tat on inventory management.  I was referring to AAX and First Look as opposed to say a Vauto and Vin Solutions.


Certainly, both sets of tools acquire their primary data differently and suggest diffent methodologies in both stocking and pricing.  I think if you look at where we are headed, regardless of which school you follow, the primary challenge is going to be the acquistion.  You may have noticed that ALG is projecting that used car availability will continue to under perform demand through 2016.
