Used Car Manager Jobs

A Used Car Manager in the automotive industry plays a crucial role in steering the profitability and sales of pre-owned vehicles. They are responsible for appraising and pricing used cars, managing inventory, purchasing used cars at auctions or from customers, and ensuring the vehicles are in sellable condition. They also work closely with the sales team to meet sales targets, create advertising and promotional materials, and negotiate with customers. A Used Car Manager needs to have strong understanding of the used car market, as well as excellent leadership, negotiation, and customer service skills.

Before becoming a Used Car Manager, a person may have roles such as a Sales Consultant, Sales Manager, or even a Service Advisor in an automotive dealership. These roles provide the necessary experience and insights into the industry, customer service, and sales strategies. Additionally, some Used Car Managers might have experience as an Automotive Technician, which can be beneficial in assessing the condition and value of used cars. They should also be well-versed with various car makes and models, and have an updated knowledge of the current trends in the used car market. While a specific certification is not typically required, having a degree or certification in Business Management, Automotive Technology, or a related field can be an advantage.
