Industry Conversation on iPacket Value

On the Car Dealership Guy Industry Spotlight with host Sam D’Arc, where Tyler Astorg, VP of Sales at iPacket, joined Doug Horner, GSM at Mercedes-Benz of North Olmsted, to talk about the evolution of used-car acquisition.

The message was simple: the strategy has shifted from “buy it cheap” to “buy it right.”

As pricing becomes more complex and margins tighter, precision matters more than ever. OEM build data, original window stickers, and true equipment-based comparisons are changing how dealers acquire and defend inventory. In today’s market, averages aren’t enough — accuracy wins.

The conversation also touched on what truly secures deals: the final 1%. Transparent documentation, clear comparisons, and showing the work behind the price. When dealers can confidently demonstrate value — not just state it — negotiations change.

A Clear Industry Direction

On the Car Dealership Guy podcast, one theme was clear: clarity wins.

Dealers who prioritize precise data and transparent documentation — from acquisition to pricing — are better positioned to lead in today’s market.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to join the CDG conversation and share how smarter, more transparent processes are shaping the future of automotive retail.
