Roadmap to $40 sounds good to me :t_up:
I think the future of new car dealerships is 5 or so demo models on site and you 'build' and order a car after a test drive. Delivery in 2 months time. Get ya orders in now before Christmas! Huge cost savings for the new car dealerships- they dont have to have million dollar floorplan facilities covering the cost of stocking 100 or so cars on the yard. Lease smaller yards, don't have to insure as many, don't have to constantly groom them etc etc.
Maybe this could help TRA.. Maybe people don't/can't wait 2 months for a new car, so they go buy used instead. Or maybe the big new car dealerships that shrink to stocking only a handful of new cars then decide they no longer want to stock trade-ins. i.e no used department. It could be possible one day once TRA gets appropriate national site coverage that we wake up to a NZX announcement that TRA and Ford NZ (or Toyota or Honda etc) have signed a landmark agreement for all trade-ins to be marketed and sold via TRA's 50+ site... through NZs most trusted and reliable used car seller :cool:
