Based on the provided data, the days of sales outstanding (DSO) for Cars.com Inc are not available for the periods from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024. DSO is a financial metric that measures the average number of days a company takes to collect revenue after a sale has been made. It is calculated by dividing accounts receivable by average daily sales.

In the absence of specific DSO figures, it is difficult to assess Cars.com Inc's efficiency in collecting sales revenue. A lower DSO typically indicates a more efficient accounts receivable process, suggesting prompt collection of payments from customers. On the other hand, a higher DSO may signal potential issues with credit policies, collection processes, or customer payment trends.

To gain a clearer understanding of Cars.com Inc's working capital management and overall financial health, it would be beneficial to have actual DSO figures for the relevant periods to perform a more in-depth analysis and comparison with industry benchmarks or historical data.
