As @HondaSoCal said, one option is to put it into loaner status. Since you are already going to take a hit, why not get utility out of it first. In some dealers, selling/leasing a loaner (to a non LH) is still profitable.
One birthday is bad: a buddy in the business once took over their Mitsubishi store and had cars there whose birthday cakes needed so many candles they needed to either go or get on a waiting list for kindergarten. He cleaned up their new and used inventory in 90 days. One of the few I’ve met who looked at all of sales as a portfolio, not just making money in one pocket and hiding the expenses/writeoffs in another department.
