09-01 Meeting: Vehicle Inventory and Days' Supply
> Date: 2026-09-01 17:55:37 > Location: [Insert Location] > Participants: [Lance] [Speaker 2]
Meeting Notes
Discussion on Vehicle Inventory and Days' Supply
- Early production for some models led to a perception of being "down."
- BMW is currently switching over its X5 models.
- Vehicle aging was discussed, with a target of turning levers every 180 days.
- Most dealers have high inventory levels ("high to an extent"), except a dealer in Little Rock.
- One dealer was observed to have a 360-day supply, considered extremely high.
- Speaker 2 reported a 180-day supply with three specific cars; selling one would significantly improve metrics.
Next Arrangements
- [ ] Clarify the specific models affected beyond BMW X5s (e.g., Macans, Cayennes) and confirm the scope of the inventory issue.
- [ ] Develop an action plan to reduce high days’ supply (e.g., aged unit pricing strategy, targeted promotions, inter-dealer transfers).
AI Suggestions
> AI Suggestions > AI has identified the following issues that were not concluded in the meeting or lack clear action items; please pay attention: > 1. The discussion identified high inventory levels (e.g., 180 to 360 days' supply) for certain vehicles, but no specific action plan was formulated to address this issue. > 2. It was unclear which specific models were being discussed, aside from a brief mention of BMW X5s, Macans, and Cayennes. Clarifying the scope of the inventory problem is needed.

So Makan's, Kaiyan's, and Kaiyan Electrics.
0:04
How many reviews? Yeah. Like yes, it is down. Yeah. But the problem is all that production came early. Yeah. So like. It's normal. Yeah. You know.
0:16
Like well yeah, BMW is switching X5s right now.
0:19
Yeah. So they're all just 26s,
0:23
And that's it. Yeah. So if they're 27s,
0:25
They're electric. But the thought process is, we're supposed to turn our levers every 180 days. They're probably they're basically trying to pump you over turn the half to two turns on your fucking levers. So everybody's going to be high to an extent. Like I was, guess he was let.
1:01
Yeah, because everybody's high, except for Little Rock,
1:09
But they're a midpoint. Well, they probably didn't have that many cars to begin with.
1:13
But you see them on like a little bit higher on these. All normal size dealers are a little higher. And but this is the crazy part.
1:24
Who was that? This three hundred and sixty days. Is that Harper? No. What does that say? Oh, we're red. These things. What is this? Three hundred and sixty on.
1:33
Yeah, sixty days, Mark.
1:34
Good Lord! Did they just not sell them Andor? And/or he just has a ton of.
1:39
Them. Well, that's the crazy part, right? Hmm. I'm at one hundred and eighty days.
1:46
How many cars is that? Four. So you sell less than? Josh, you sell one less than one a month. Yeah. Okay, so you might only have you might have six,
2:03
Or seven. Yeah. As far as those go, yeah. Okay. One, I'm sorry. Three, I think I'm at three in about 180 days. Jesus. Yeah. So if I sell one of these. Be my best buddy, boss. I forgot to leave.
