I've done a lot of data work for several other brands in a few markets and can confirm the used car part of this is true.

A properly run organisation can sell and re-sell the same car several times, also selling parts and services to each owner in between sales.

Rental and other fleets are particularly battled after for this reason as they can "inject" far more life time value in the the network than just the initial sale.
