Why Used Car Managers Run This Campaign

It is more than a mailer. It is a local inventory acquisition engine built to create trades, appraisals, and retail-ready units before they become auction problems.

Avoid the Auction Monster

Reduce buy fees, transportation, bidding wars, and surprise recon by acquiring vehicles from customers around your store.

More local trades. Less auction pain. Better used car gross.

Used car departments need fresh inventory, but auction lanes can crush gross with fees, transportation, overbidding, and unknown recon. The better play is to pull more inventory from the dealership’s own market.

DealerDriven.ai helps expose the owners and activity needed to close the inventory gap: lease pull-ahead, trade equity, service history, older vehicles, payoff opportunity, push-pull-drag response, AI follow-up, direct mail, and live BDC support.

✓Lease Pull-Ahead campaigns create more low-mileage trades and CPO candidates.
✓Push Pull Drag offers motivate owners of older vehicles to raise their hand.
✓Local customer acquisition helps avoid auction fees, transport costs, and mystery recon.
✓Service-to-sales and equity targeting gives your used car desk more real appraisal opportunities.
✓Multi-channel contact with AI, live BDC, direct mail, text, email, and social retargeting.

Honoring Gary Woodward “G Dubz”

A salute to the Used Car Manager who helped shape a winning mindset — from Russ Darrow Group to Ewald Automotive Group and now Cox Automotive.

Russ Darrow Group Ewald Automotive Group Cox Automotive #1 Used Car Manager

The Mentor Behind the Mindset

Gary Woodward, known as “G Dubz”, was a major influence on Michael “Zippidy” Duda’s used car career. As Gary rose to become the #1 Used Car Manager in the Russ Darrow Group, he passed along the instincts, toughness, and everyday desk wisdom that define a winning used car operation.

Gary helped teach the craft of selling used cars — how to find the story in a unit, how to stay creative, and how to keep moving inventory when others would quit on a car too soon. His leadership journey carried through the Russ Darrow Group, the Ewald Automotive Group, and now Cox Automotive.

“There is an Ass for Every Seat.” That was Gary’s line whenever Michael would complain about something he didn’t like about a used car. The lesson was simple: every car has a buyer — if you know how to merchandise it, position it, and keep working the opportunity.
