Maximizing PVR

In today's compressed market, the "Back-End" (F&I) often accounts for more than 50% of the total deal profit. Dealers who manage both front and back gross effectively are the ones who stay profitable long-term.

Front-End Strategies

  • Focus on Reconditioning efficiency to save gross.
  • Use market data to price aggressively but profitably.
  • Train sales staff to "sell the car, not the price."

Back-End Strategies

  • 100% turnover to F&I on every deal.
  • Increase VSC (Service Contract) penetration rates.
  • Optimize financing reserve with multiple lender options.
