Anyone else notice a slight increase in new cars on dealership lots? Seems like the local dealerships are actually able to offer at least a small selection lately.

I actually noticed this today. Really small Ford dealer that would have 3-5 cars on the lot had about 15. Wasn't all new cars but still better to see something on that lot.

Definitely. I was calling around for a new vehicle for the past 9 months but refused to pay over msrp

Now they’re asking if I’m still interested

Interest rates going up. Less buying= inventory building up.

Some dealerships are already back to discounting, I am sure there is a catch though.

Don’t worry, they’ll be full in due time and will have to slash prices to make room for new year inventory.

I feel like I see you as the first reply to so many posts. Is this intentional? Like you sit there and constantly refresh for a new post and then respond something really fast just to be the first?

In theory this will cause prices to come down over time.

A month later, and I'm seeing more and more on the lots. New car lots are looking less like used car lots, too. At these interest rates and climbing, it won't be long now before they're back to full inventory and discounting.

The subprime lending market in the auto industry is about to implode. Repossessions are already increasing.

It always starts with subprime and eventually even prime lending is affected. Cars, just like housing, has far outpaced wage growth. There needs to be a correction and will be.

84 month loans are the path to financial ruin. Many are going to have no choice but to default since they won't be able to sell.

I hope that the dealership model is a casualty of this correction. Allowing them to charge over MSRP just because they could was a mistake.
