If you’re navigating the vehicle export journey from Canada to the US, inventory turns are the name of the game. The phrase "your first loss is your best loss" is particularly true in this market, where cars are depreciating assets – the goal is to get your capital back to work by buying fresh vehicles as quickly as possible. 

Let’s explore the essential steps to expedite your Canada to US vehicle sales cycle.

Mastering Market Dynamics for Swift Sales

Selling vehicles across borders is an exercise in precision. You're buying a vehicle today with the ambition of selling it wholesale in 30-45 days. Success hinges on paying close attention to depreciation, retail days supply, and wholesale transaction volume. You can infer a lot by tapping into real-time data – if wholesale transactions are increasing and retail days supply is decreasing, chances are demand is on the rise. 

The Art of Pricing for Profitability

In vehicle export, the battle for profit is won or lost the moment you buy. Snagging vehicles at the right price, while smartly accounting for depreciation, sets you up not just to compete, but to dominate. Pay too much out of the gate, and you're climbing a steep hill to profitability. The key to not overpaying lies in harnessing the right mix of data and tools – including demand insights, comprehensive wholesale information, and an understanding of depreciation. This strategic approach allows you to acquire vehicles at prices that ensure competitiveness and profitability.

Diversifying Demand Channels

In today's market, success is measured by the breadth of your demand channels. While auctions remain a staple, broadening your sales avenues ensures your vehicles reach the largest audience possible.
