| Conservative — asset sale, no attached book | $60M |
| Base — strategic acquirer, repriced to incumbent terms | $138M |
| Stretch — strategic + distribution leverage (OEM captive, CRM incumbent) | $345M |
Range reflects three buyer archetypes. Base case assumes a strategic acquirer applies their own contract economics; stretch case assumes distribution-leveraged repricing across an existing dealer book. See /acquire for model inputs.
