Executive Bio
Curtis Farris
Former General Manager at ADESA and Director at ACV Auctions
Why is this interview interesting?
- ADESA will potentially lose 70% of dealer inventory and 50% of fleet inventory under CVNA ownership
- OPENLANE is a unique asset for KAR
- CVNA supposedly didn’t inspect the auction lane when visiting ADESA
- Carmax’s wholesale auction is not efficient and takes up valuable retail space
- A potential Carmax / ACV Auction deal could be effective vs CVNA / ADESA
