The following dealers are currently CPO dealers:

To Rent or Not To Rent

NATDA introduced the Turn Key Rental Program for our members, and we would like to hear from dealers that have put a rental program into place.

There are always upsides and down to rental, but if run properly, it can turn into an excellent source of cash flow, and create good clean used inventory for you to sell.

I know there are alot of dealers who have put too much money into a trade. Rental is a great way to get some of that money back.

You can even develop your own rent to own, or rent with an option program for your customers.
