Last week, Driver’s Way closed it’s Nashville used car dealership located in the Cool Springs / Franklin TN area . While this was a little bit of a shock, it was not completely surprising. In the past few years, there have been many issues that have transformed the pre-owned vehicle market across America.  Because of this the used car market has been required to become extremely competitive.

Price is the key and trying to sell used cars in one of the highest rent areas of Middle Tennessee obviously does not make sense.

Of the changes that have transformed the used car market, the most influential is still the rapidly growing use of the internet and how much research can be performed by the buyer, before ever leaving their house.

Another issue that has transformed the used car market is the different advanced technologies associated with all individual makes and models of vehicles on the road today. Think about this….Just a few years ago, you could go into any commercial area and find a service station. By service station, I mean a business that sold gasoline and had a couple of garage bays to tune-up and fix cars. In the mid-80s’, at least in Middle Tennessee, we started to see a decline of these traditional service stations. While the same business was still selling gas, those service bays had been transformed and that old garage had become a convenience store.

The reason is simple….you cannot work on everything and be an expert on anything. The used car market has the same situation today. Regardless of dealership size, any dealer will become less effective as he increases the number of various makes of vehicles that he tries to sell…it is that simple.
