Jan Fleet Update
It's January, and for those of us in the car rental business who watch the used car market, a predictable seasonal cycle has seemingly returned, as wholesale values drift downward like flakes of snow, in the early weeks of 2022. In this recording of a meeting held on Jan. 24 2022, Michael Delorenzo, Matt Groller and Jason Delorenzo discuss emerging trends, as well as signals from the manufacturers and competitors that are informing NP Auto's fleet decisions.
