By GlobalDataPeter Bell, managing director of Manheim, added: “I’m delighted to welcome Arnaud to the Manheim leadership team, where his extensive experience in developing successful long-term sales strategies will be a great asset.”
“We pride ourselves on working in partnership with our customers to deliver a fully connected service that supports their business objectives, and Arnaud’s key focus is to help us develop this approach still further.”
Recent research from Manheim revealed that 85% of dealers see reconditioning work as the biggest delay to getting a vehicle on sale.
The results come at a time when high demand for stock is leading to strong competition in the wholesale market. As a result, some dealers are choosing to upgrade lower condition vehicles rather than pay top-price for ready-to-retail stock.
“Reconditioning can reduce the initial outlay for a dealer, but there are hidden costs in the potential impact on time to sell,” said Philip Nothard, customer insight and strategy director at Manheim.
