Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: •Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. •Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. •Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Contracts-In-Transit and Vehicle Receivables, Accounts and Notes Receivable, Accounts Payable, Variable Rate Long-Term Debt and Floorplan Notes Payable The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments and/or the existence of variable interest rates. Fixed Rate Long-Term Debt The Company estimates the fair value of its $750.0 million 4.00% Senior Notes due August 2028 (“4.00% Senior Notes”) using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 1) and estimates the fair value of its fixed-rate mortgage facilities using a present value technique based on current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments (Level 2). Refer to Note 9. Debt for further discussion of the Company’s long-term debt arrangements. The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s 4.00% Senior Notes and fixed rate mortgages were as follows (in millions):
|  | September 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
|  | Carrying Value (1) |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Value (1) |  | Fair Value
4.00% Senior Notes |  | $ | 750.0 |  |  | $ | 603.5 |  |  | $ | 750.0 |  |  | $ | 748.4 |
Real estate related |  | 101.2 |  |  | 90.8 |  |  | 81.3 |  |  | 78.7 |
Total |  | $ | 851.2 |  |  | $ | 694.3 |  |  | $ | 831.3 |  |  | $ | 827.1 |
(1) Carrying value excludes unamortized debt issuance costs. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company holds interest rate swaps to hedge against variability of interest payments indexed to SOFR. The Company’s interest rate swaps are measured at fair value utilizing a SOFR forward yield curve matched to the identical maturity term of the instrument being measured. Observable inputs utilized in the income approach valuation technique incorporate identical contractual notional amounts, fixed coupon rates, periodic terms for interest payments and contract maturity. The fair value of the interest rate swaps also considers the credit risk of the Company for instruments in a liability position or the counterparty for instruments in an asset position. The credit risk is calculated using the spread between the SOFR yield curve and the relevant interest rate according to rating agencies. The inputs to the fair value measurements reflect Level 2 of the hierarchy framework. Assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s interest rate swaps, as reflected gross in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were as follows (in millions):

Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges and the related gains or losses are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of AOCI in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred gains or losses are recognized in income in the period in which the related items being hedged are recognized in expense. Monthly contractual settlements of the positions are recognized as Floorplan interest expense or Other interest expense, net, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains or losses for periods where future forecasted hedged transactions are deemed probable of not occurring are reclassified from AOCI into income as Floorplan interest expense. As of September 30, 2022, the Company held 41 interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $949.1 million that fixed its underlying SOFR at a weighted average rate of 1.23%. The Company also held 2 additional interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with forward start dates beginning in December 2023, that had an aggregate notional value of $100.0 million and a weighted average interest rate of 0.94% as of September 30, 2022. The maturity dates of the Company’s designated interest rate swaps with forward start dates range between December 2027 and December 2028. As of September 30, 2021, the Company held 33 interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $686.1 million that fixed the underlying one-month LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 1.37%. The Company transitioned from the use of LIBOR to SOFR subsequent to September 30, 2021. The following tables present the impact of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges (in millions):
