Additionally, the company's forward P/E ratio of 21.55 indicates a favorable valuation compared to its growth prospects, especially as it has shown a year-to-date change of +35.73%. The main risk is the current high financing costs for used car loans, with an average APR of 15.9%, which could impact consumer purchasing power.
