  1. Step 1 of 3

    Units drifting past target age get flagged.

    NEON scans inventory every morning against the aging thresholds you set.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    Each one sorts into a lane.

    Reprice, wholesale, VDP audit, or monitor, with the reason attached to every unit.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    A manager approves. NEON tracks the work.

    Nothing moves without sign-off. Approved work goes to the team that runs it and stays tracked to completion.

The problem

Aged units quietly eat gross — and you find out at month close.

Every dealership has a few used cars that should have moved 30 days ago. They're sitting on the lot today eating floor plan, eating reconditioning capital, and quietly burning down their wholesale floor.

The reason they don't move isn't a mystery — it's that nobody owns the daily discipline. Your used car manager has 47 units to think about; the ones over 60 days don't get the attention until the monthly variance report makes them undeniable. By then you've already lost the gross.

How NEON solves it

From signalto action.

  1. Step 1 · Step 1

    Vehicle AI scans your inventory every morning.

    Every active unit. Days on market, days in market, P2M, MDS, photos count, comp set position, last price change. Continuous, not month-end.

    Good morning, Mike

    Margin Leak: Trade over-allowances jumped 9 points
    Over-allowance rate climbed from 14% to 23% in just 30 days. You've surrendered $3,800 in front-end gross to loose appraisals. Coach the desk before next month repeats.

    Capital Trap: $1.6M tied up in overstocked Rogues
    New Rogues are 36% of inventory value but only 15% of recent sales — a 20-point imbalance strangling cash flow. Dealer trade or aggressive lease push to rebalance.

    Missed Opportunity: INFINITI QX60 inventory running dry
    You moved 21 QX60 units last month and are down to your final 7 — 10 days of supply at current pace. Secure additional inventory before you lose front-end gross.

  2. Step 2 · Step 2

    Aged units get categorized into lanes.

    Reprice (still moves at a lower price). Wholesale (won't move retail; cut the loss). VDP audit (the photos or description are killing it). Monitor closely (close to threshold; revisit weekly). Every recommendation backed by comps and history.

  3. Step 3 · Step 3

    Your managers approve. v.Agent prepares the work.

    Approved markdowns become a price-change queue your used car manager runs. Wholesale candidates become a list for the auction. VDP issues become tickets for the merchandising team. Nothing moves without sign-off.

  4. Step 4 · Step 4

    Results feed back into the next week's plan.

    Units that moved get closed out. Units that didn't get re-categorized. Your monthly aging variance is a number you've already been managing all month — not a surprise.
