Michael Strahan was perhaps the NFL’s most dominating defensive player of the 2000s. He’s a Super Bowl winner and a Pro Football Hall of Famer.

But he’s also Renaissance man. These days, Strahan juggles the tasks of journalist, broadcaster, host/entertainer and businessman.

While they might not have any sack records like Strahan — who is among the keynote speakers at NADA Show 2022, which returns live March 10-13 in Las Vegas — franchised car dealers can likely relate to the multi-faceted work of wearing many hats.

Often, a dealership is a vehicle tech concierge, repair facility, warranty advisor and sales center all at once. Not to mention, the myriad tasks of running a dealership itself, with all its moving parts.

That includes the pre-owned department, which often is an intricate operation of its own, given current demands and the size of the used-car market.

Franchised and independent dealers were estimated to have sold an combined 21.4 million used vehicles last year, up from 19.8 million in 2020, according to Cox Automotive. This year, they're expected to sell even more at 22.1 million.

With that in mind, here are a few sessions at NADA Show 2022 that focus on the used-car segment, according to the convention website
