Aged inventory refers to used vehicles that have been on the lot beyond the target turn window, typically 60 days or more. As a unit ages, market value declines while floor plan interest and carrying costs continue to accumulate.
Aged units are a direct drain on used vehicle profitability. Having a clear process for repricing, wholesaling, or incentivizing units before they reach 60 days is a sign of a disciplined operation. Letting inventory age without action compounds the loss.
