In parallel, for buyers, understanding the speed of rotation can highlight vehicles that are profitable on the long run, even with a lower margin.<\/p>\n<p>First, we\u2019ll start with a fictional scenario, to explain the mechanism. Later on, we\u2019ll go for real examples to demonstrate how the effect can impact the auctions.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s consider a dealer. He buys a car on auction of 10.000 \u20ac with an expected consumer price of 15.000 \u20ac, according to the pricing analysis of Gocar Data. On the same day, the dealer across the street also wins an auction for a car at 10.000 \u20ac. But our pricing analysis provides a target of 12.000 \u20ac\u00a0as sale price. Intuitively, everyone thinks the first dealer is in a much better position. Higher margin potential brings more benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The problem here is that it only gives a partial vision of the real situation. By using the Gocar Data market observation, we can predict an expected time to sell of 35 days for the first vehicle, and only 10 days for the second one. In this situation, after 10 days, the second dealer can buy, again, a new vehicle with the revenues of the first sale. And once more after 10 days. In the same interval it would take for the first dealer to sell its vehicle (around 35 days), producing 5000 \u20ac margin, its competitor has made 3 sales, with a total of 6000 \u20ac\u00a0in his pocket. And 3 customers on the road, so more opportunities for after-sale revenues.<\/p>\n<p>For each market, we can detail the vehicle models with the highest potential of rotation, so with the lowest time to sell. Once again, the volatility between markets is high, and offers many opportunities. Even if the consumer market price could seem equal between most markets, those with a shorter time to sell are the best places to maximize the value of the assets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"580\" data-src=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/de-best-rotations.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyload\" alt=\"For each market, we can detail the vehicle models with the highest potential of rotation, so with the lowest time to sell.\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/de-best-rotations.webp 600w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/de-best-rotations-300x290.webp 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/580;\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>In this table (German figures),\u00a0we\u2019ve only focused on the main makes.
