My girls Hyndaui blew its engine , so we got her a used Honda from CarMax. It was Dead empty on a Sunday with a very poor selection of vehicles and low fleet numbers.
I’ve had a Ford Maverick on order since June 2021…. no word on it at all, but there is a vin number. When I look at models on dealer lots the vin numbers are higher, so it is probably built and sitting in a field somewhere waiting for something like a computer chip or accessory. When they finally do call me for pickup, I’m going to inspect it very closely and if it has rust or something otherwise going, I’ll just sell it to the dealer or flip it into the market since they are selling above sticker. The whole ford process has basically turned me off to ever doing this again in the future, it’s been a waste of time
Good! Auto industry was upside down. This is one industry where massive deflation needs to occur. I’m currently buying a brand new truck for $15k less than a 2019 of the same model with 60k miles on it. Stupid. I could turn around and sell my new truck if I didn’t need it for $15-$20k more than I bought it for the next day
It’s because a 1998 Toyota requires a damn mortgage to acquire….everything in the auto industry is overpriced
It has always been a dream of mine to own a Lambo https://i.redd.it/mm6xlah2ukx61.jpg
Haven’t heard “Cathie is right” for a while now.
The used car industry is but also my 2005 Audi Ty which is like 2-5k say two years ago was valued at 14k over summer sooo like it was way over inflated this year
Wow only 50% higher than the annual average in 2019

Look at a kmx chart, shows the whole picture
You had me till the last sentence.
Good. The market for cars was WAYYYYYYY too expensive.
I watch the lots at dealerships everyday on the way to work. The Toyota lot has been slowly growing with the number of trucks for the last couple months. Seems to finally be a good selection. Sales are obviously down.
What does this means? Less people buying used cars?
Is this dealer auction or retail?
Don’t bail out anybody. Let it all crash
This is normal for this time of year… tax season is always the hottest… 4th quarter sales are down 20-35% compared to other times of the year… New car inventory still being slashed… Honda Toyota announced 40% cuts for Oct so don’t expect anything to change
OTOH, Tesla just showed 54% growth in vehicles sales.
Cathie is always right as usual /s
Cathie predicted the inevitable. Too bad she use those same “skills” on ARK. Of course the automotive industry would return to normal levels eventually.
