Scott Fitzgerald, marketing director at Cooper Auto Group, oversees marketing for 13 stores in Oklahoma. In this episode he breaks down why the auction has stopped making sense - transport fees, commissions, and rising costs eating into every unit acquired that way. Cooper is rebuilding its buying center instead, using data to route trades to the store that needs them most, cutting inter-store transfer headaches and keeping acquisition costs down. Scott also gets into what changed when volume dropped from COVID-era highs, why inventory count still decides whether a shopper drives past you or in, and how a used car director with a real acquisition mentality can move the needle faster than another auction trip.
