Some real good opinions and points on this topic. Obsolete parts are a part of this business, always have been and always will. We went through management changes and inventory strategy changes for years. What we finally did several years ago is workong very well. Every time we stck in a used vehicle (retail) we charge a small amount of money to the unit and put it to a parts account to offset obsolete parts. The parts are then charged to an invoice to balance the books, then the part is thrown away.
