To play the used car market in the U.S. Has looked at Carvana, but doesn't know CarMax well. They have a digital online presence to attract customers, and they offer guarantees for their cars. They project high-single-digit growth, but the PE is not cheap. He's not totally against buying KMX, but slightly prefers Carvana.
They can beat earnings when they report tomorrow. The industry has been hurt because the price of used cars was getting so high, but has been coming down the last two quarters. The industry will start to accelerate in volumes.
The chart has been choppy and rough, but the last quarter finally showed sales picking up. They've invested a lot on their online platform to the best in the industry. The worst is behind it.
