AUGUST INSIGHTS: Navigating Change with Confidence
As we turn the corner into the second half of 2025, new developments on the tariff front are beginning to reshape the outlook for the automotive retail sector. Rising import costs are likely to pressure both vehicle pricing and margins, and the ripple effect will be felt across new and used car operations alike. At a time when every dollar counts, having a proactive and high-performing F&I team isn’t just valuable—it’s essential. The ability to adapt quickly, drive consistent results, and protect profitability in the face of economic headwinds will define the winners in today’s competitive environment.
Meanwhile, the used car market remains dynamic. Inventory levels have stabilized somewhat, but pricing remains unpredictable as demand shifts with interest rate sensitivity and consumer confidence. Dealers who maintain disciplined processes and maximize back-end performance will be better positioned to thrive.
At Advanced Dealer Solutions, we recognize the unique challenges dealers face right now. That’s why our team is more committed than ever to supporting you—not only with industry-leading F&I performance solutions, but also with our dedicated insurance team. With over four decades of combined dealer-specific experience, our insurance professionals understand your business from the inside out. Whether it’s tailoring risk management strategies or providing independent, dealer-focused coverage options, we’re here to deliver the support you need.
We’re here to help you stay ahead—every step of the way.

Sincerely,
Bob & Ryan
