re: Car prices aren’t high everywhere, just Louisiana. Screw these dealerships

one thing I noticed over the last three days, hitting every dealership from BR to Covington, it seemed like I was the only customer there, at every dealership. They were ghost towns.

I think most serious car buyers have been looking out of state for the last several months.

It’s a cycle. Dealerships have been relying on used car sales to remain afloat recently because new car inventory has been so low.
Used car buyers have been forced to higher volume dealerships out of state because local dealers are fleecing them.
Local dealers have been getting more desperate as their used car sales have slowed due to local buyers going elsewhere or waiting for the market to slow and prices to drop.
