Young entrepreneur researching independent dealers — what's your biggest frustration?

[Harrison Schneider]

Hey everyone — I am a young entrepreneur researching the independent car dealer space before I build anything.


I am not selling anything, and I am not a vendor. I am genuinely trying to understand what day-to-day life looks like for independent dealers before I write a single line of code.


One simple question — what is the biggest frustration you deal with running your lot that you wish someone would just make disappear?


Any honest answer appreciated. Even one sentence helps me enormously.


Thanks for your time.

For independents? Inventory inventory inventory, lots of disadvantages from franchise dealers such as lack of access to the same lenders, flooring, and off-lease auctions but the biggest issue is inventory and the constant struggle to acquire enough inventory.
