Equity Mining

Equity mining is a data-driven strategy where dealerships analyze their existing customer records to identify individuals whose current vehicle has appreciated in value or who have paid down enough of their loan to have positive equity. These customers are prime candidates for a trade-in and upgrade conversation.

Dealers typically use a CRM or specialized equity mining software to run reports against their service and sales databases. When a customer is identified as equity-positive, the dealership proactively reaches out with a personalized offer. This turns the service drive and existing customer base into a consistent source of used inventory and new sales opportunities.
