The Car Dealer Expense Tracker

Do you know what it costs to keep your dealership open?

Many dealers track what they spend on cars (parts, repairs), but forget to track what they spend on the business (Rent, AutoTrader subscriptions, Insurance, Tools). If you don't track your overhead, you don't know your true break-even point.

The Car Dealer Expense Tracker is a dedicated ledger designed to organize your fixed costs and monthly bills, keeping them separate from your inventory costs.

🛠️ What’s Inside?

This template uses 2 Interconnected Databases to manage your cash flow:

1. Vendor Management:
   • Keep a master list of everyone you pay (Landlords, Software companies, Utilities).
   • See the Total Paid YTD for every vendor instantly to spot rising costs.
2. Monthly Expense Log:
   • Log every bill and overhead cost.
   • Tax Ready: Check off "Tax Deductible" items and upload receipts for your accountant.
   • Burn Rate View: Group expenses by month to see exactly how much cash you need to survive the month.

💡 Why use this?

• For Dealers: Stop mixing your "Reconditioning Costs" (Variable) with your "Overhead" (Fixed). This template keeps them clean and separate.
• For Startups: Catch "Zombie Subscriptions" (software you stopped using but still pay for) by auditing your Vendor list.

🚀 You tracked the Overhead. Now track the Profit. This template tracks your bills. To track your Revenue, Commission, and Net Profit per Vehicle, you need the complete business system.
