## How does it calculate a car’s real profit?

**Every expense is booked to the car itself, so its real cost is purchase plus shipping, customs, repairs and more. On sale, that total is subtracted from the price.**

Many dealers know only the purchase price; repairs, customs and transport come out of the general till and get lost. Cars look profitable when they aren’t. The software ties every expense receipt to the car it was spent on.

## How are consignment cars handled?

**A consignment car is registered to its owner at their asking price and stays out of the dealer’s capital. On sale, the owner’s payout and the dealer’s commission are calculated automatically.**

## Can cars be listed online?

**Yes. The software can feed a dealer website or app showing available cars with photos and specs, removed automatically when sold.**
