The acquisition decision sets the ceiling for everything that comes after it. PPO starts with whether the vehicle has a right to win in your market before the price ever looks attractive. 01 ### Scarcity Before Price Start with availability, local market depth, clean history, payment band, and search visibility before deciding whether the buy is truly attractive. 02 ### Financeability Signals Approval rate, cash down, term, lender coverage, vehicle-switch rate, negative-equity tolerance, and funded conversion tell you whether demand is actually transactable. 03 ### Capital Posture Your cash position, age profile, turn expectations, and gross posture should influence what you buy, how aggressively you buy it, and how much inventory risk you are willing to carry.

Used EVs can change risk faster than the traditional used-car playbook expects. Battery condition, retail price bands, local demand, financeability, off-lease supply, and recon readiness all need to be understood before the vehicle becomes an aging problem. **Define the EV buy box** Know which makes, trims, price bands, and local supply levels give the store a right to win. **Price battery + disclosure risk** Separate vehicle value from battery-health uncertainty, disclosure friction, and customer confidence. **Manage EV aging differently** Use EV-specific rules for pricing, recon, merchandising, financeability, and exit posture.
