Retail Unit

Definition

A completed and delivered vehicle sale used as the basis for F&I performance metrics.

Why It Matters

Retail unit is the denominator in all key F&I metrics (PRU, PVR, penetration rate). Understanding what counts as a retail unit is essential for accurate performance tracking.

Examples

  • If a dealership sold 100 vehicles last month, they had 100 retail units
  • Retail units exclude wholesale, fleet, and internal sales
