Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Warranty enhancements can increase demand for used vehicles, improve perceived value, and support higher ASPs or favorable mix. Similar enhancements in auto retail have historically boosted CPO-style segments and brand loyalty, which can translate into higher vehicle throughput and stability of used-vehicle pricing for HTZ in the near term.
