Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.
Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, restricted cash included approximately $4,011 and $4,336, respectively. The restricted cash is legally and contractually restricted as collateral for lines of credit, including floorplan, and for the payment of claims on the reinsurance companies.
Advertising Cost Advertising CostsThe Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables are limited due to the large diversity and number of customers comprising the Company’s retail customer base.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard will affect all entities that lease assets and will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. ASU 2016-02, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted.
We adopted ASC 842 for the year beginning January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition approach applied at the beginning of the period of adoption, which did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Comparative periods presented in the financial statements continue to be presented in accordance with ASC 840. As permitted under the standard, we have elected the package of practical expedients for the transition to ASC 842, under which we did not reassess our prior conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification, or initial direct costs for contracts existing as of the transition date. We have also elected to apply the following practical expedients for contracts existing as of the transition date and all new contracts after our adoption of ASC 842: 1) recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with a term of 12 months or less and not recognizing them on the balance sheet and 2) accounting for lease and non-lease components for all asset classes as a combined single unit of account. We have not elected the practical expedient related to all land easements nor the hindsight practical expedient.
The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of $50.5 million of operating lease assets, which included an adjustment for deferred rent, and $52.6 million of operating lease liabilities on our opening consolidated balance sheet. We have
implemented new business processes, accounting policies, systems and internal controls as part of adopting the new standard. See Note 14 for additional information on leases.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to its financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Revenue
Retail Vehicle Sales
The Company sells used vehicles to retail customers through its 22 retail hub locations. The transaction price for used vehicles is a fixed amount as set forth in the customer contract, and the revenue recognized by the Company is inclusive of the agreed upon transaction price and any service fees. Customers frequently trade-in their existing vehicle to apply toward the transaction price of a used vehicle. Trade-in vehicles represent noncash consideration, which the Company measures at estimated fair value of the vehicle received on the trade. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue for used vehicle sales at a point in time when the title to the vehicle passes to the customer, at which point the customer controls the vehicle.
The Company receives payment for used vehicle sales directly from the customer at the time of sale or from third-party financial institutions within a short period of time following the sale if the customer obtains financing.
The Company’s exchange policy allows customers to initiate an exchange of a vehicle during the first three days or 500 miles after delivery, whichever comes first. An exchange reserve is immaterial based on the Company’s historical activity.
Wholesale Vehicle Sales

Vehicles that do not meet the Company’s standards for retail vehicle sales, vehicles that did not sell through the retail channel within a reasonable period of time and vehicles that the Company determines offer greater financial benefit through the wholesale channel are sold through various wholesale methods. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue for wholesale vehicle sales when the vehicle is sold at auction or directly to a wholesaler and title to the vehicle passes to the next owner.
Finance and Insurance, net
The Company provides customers with options for financing, insurance and extended warranties. Certain warranties are serviced by a company owned by a major stockholder. All other services are provided by third-party vendors, and the Company has agreements with each of these vendors giving the Company the right to offer such services.
When a customer selects a service from these third-party vendors, the Company earns a commission based on the actual price paid or financed. The Company concluded that it is an agent for these transactions because it does not control the products before they are transferred to the customer. Accordingly, the Company recognizes finance and insurance revenue at the point in time when the customer enters into the contract.
