Dealers reveal wholegood inventory trends for Q3
OPE dealership owners who completed the Q3 2022 OPE Business Dealer Survey have provided insight on their wholegood inventory level.
More than half of responding dealers reported their inventory level as either “about right” or “too high” at the end of the July-Sept. period.
A total of 44% of dealers said their inventory was “too low,” with 41% describing their inventory level as “about right.” Another 15% said it was “too high.”
