Estimated Time to Sell in Nexgate gives dealers actionable insights into how quickly your vehicles are likely to sell and what steps you can take next.
With a refreshed design, improved user experience and actionable recommendations, these changes are designed to help you act earlier, price more confidently, and reduce unnecessary stock ageing costs.
What is Estimated Time to Sell?
Estimated Time to Sell is an AI-generated, data-driven estimate of how long it's likely to take for a vehicle to sell from today, based on Insights data on carsales.
The estimate is calculated using multiple data points, including:
- Vehicle attributes such as year, make, model, badge, colour and more
- Comparable vehicles currently on the market
- Recent market trends
- Location and buyer behaviour
Note: Estimated Time to Sell is intended as a guide to support pricing and stock management decisions. It does not guarantee a sale timeframe. Please refer to the full disclaimer below.
Additional Time to Sell range
With the expanded day range, you now get more context around how long a vehicle may take to sell. This helps you better understand which vehicles are likely to move sooner and which may need pricing or promotion changes.
The three ranges are:
- 0-30 days
- 31-60 days
- 60+ days
This additional range provides clearer visibility into stock performance, helping you make more informed decisions earlier and manage ageing inventory more effectively.
Clear next steps, built in
We've added built-in actions to help you turn insights into meaningful changes for your stock.
You can now:
- Edit pricing to improve competitiveness
- Promote a vehicle to increase visibility
These options sit alongside the estimate, making it easier to take action when it matters most.
What's the benefit?
In many cases, vehicles only receive attention once they've already started to age, which can lead to:
- Higher depreciation
- Increased insurance and holding costs
- Reduced profitability through reactive price changes
Estimated Time to Sell helps you:
- Act sooner to help improve your chances of a sale
- Set pricing aligned to market demand
- Reduce time on lot and overall holding costs
- Balance speed to sale with profitability
