You better be getting a good deal on the price since interest rates have skyrocketed. That’s what’s putting pressure on the demand side

I don't know if I've ever heard anyone that wanted a Saab. They must be popular overseas with the soccer crowd.

Yeah probably so but that ship has sailed until she's done with school. I'd rather not move her in high school.

I’ve been watching auto trader and OP is right. Inventory is increasing and lots of stuff has been sitting.

Market crash looming should drive rates down and increase inventory

Have to finalize a deal for my 16 yr old son’s car today. Trying to figure out if they’ve included all their BS fees into the ‘sale price’. Should be interesting.

Good. Don't come in wanting giraffe pussy for your 2012 with 128k miles. It won't be worth sheeeeeeeeit.



Hmm I wonder what scenario plays out more frequently:

A). Customers seeking giraffe pussy for their 2012 with 128k miles

or

B). Car salesman raping customers blind on vehicle prices.

I don't particular like the car sales industry either. But why is someone a scumbag for maximizing profit if the consumer is willing to pay the sales price?

I would like a new car. But I don't absolutely need one at the moment. So I will wait either until I do, or the market goes down. Many don't take that approach. That's not the car dealers fault.


Could be wrong, but I don't think anyone is saying they shouldn't have the right to do what they do, but rather venting frustration with having to wade through 10 or 20 dealer's bullshite to figure out which one is going to rape you the least. Car salespeople brought this on themselves. Waste a day of your time and find 20 ways to Sunday to see how much money they can get out of you with frivolous "options". All of that before you get to the slimey finance guy who slips a few things in on the "back side".

Dealerships are losing grip on price control and starting to phase incentives back in. Prices will continue to go down.


I'm not calling bullshite, but people told me this in the spring of '21 when I bought a new vehicle. Even the dealership told me things would return to normal by that fall...and here we are.

Most dealerships are still empty. That is not changing overnight. Inventory may increase, but that is more due to interest rates, like housing.

I'm watching used car prices and it seems over the last month they've been coming down.
