You aren't wrong, I sell inexpensive cash price cars and have never had an issue selling before these last several months and I have good inventory. Luckily for me our Auto Repair Shop is our main source of income and not the sales lot.

That's because the newer these automobiles get the more owner-disrespecting creepy spying, nagging, and anti-repair they get! Let me guess, the used vehicle you bought in 2018 was a pre-2014 model? I wouldn't shell out my hard-earned cash for any model year post-2013...but that's just my sense of self-respect asserting itself.

No, not a good time to open a dealership. Disposal income has decreased and people are repairing their vehicles instead of rolling the dice on a used car, not knowing what problems they are buying. Car dealerships in central Texas seem to have excess inventory. Income in this area makes it impossible to purchase a new vehicle.

Hey Lucky, here in Florida at my local Chevy dealer. They are parking excess inventory in customer parking spots now overflowing with cars. One thing, they’re not honoring warranty for service anymore. I had to call in the general manager to get them to honor a warranty for part purchase from them. I’d say they’re running out of money now.

Inflationary pricing length combined with consumer credit issues cars aren’t going to sell. Bottom line - cars have way too much technology that the average consumer never asked for and manufacturers added on to drive revenue and now it’s biting everyone. Manufacturers need to offer vehicles with no technology or make tech options to get base prices down.

Lender's are tightening up requirements for loans. A friend of mine cannot get financing because he has too small of a down payment. The lender is probably worried that he cannot afford the vehicle with so little down. People just don't save any money up these days. I just purchased a vehicle for $13000 dollars cash. Absolutely no finance help or loans. I paid the full amount myself.

Welcome to the real world this is how it use to be 45 years ago in the auto retail business. We only had 36 months financing on new and on a 1 year old with low mileage vehicles. The banks only loaned xyz $'s less 20% of the selling price that the customer had to put down or we took them to a dip house for down payment money. We Sold vehicle's not payments. This is a small part of what it was like back then. It is about time the car industry cleans up this mess so sales can get back on track. The weak, bad dealers will go away leaving the good trustworthy Dealerships will have to earn back customers by not over packing their cars with over priced unwanted accessories.

I started in 73 and watched the market; this is the worst time since 73! Unless you are selling under 4k cash rides now isn't the times to open up. Cash up and be ready for the bottom; then sell sell sell.

I sell motorcycles at a dealership here in Vegas, and it's an uphill battle. We don't have lenders that will approve anyone with a credit score under 600, and down payment has no impact on approval odds. On top of that, Nevada has a lot more fees than what I see in other states. Car dealerships have a good bit of room to take off fees so they can sell more cars, but if we sell a motorcycle for MSRP out the door, we will lose hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Meanwhile, Utah and California dealerships have no trouble doing that. So many of our customers buy out of state, and it hurts local business. I love sales, but the industry in Vegas right now is the worst I've ever seen unfortunately.

Lucky, why do banks look at the MSRP for the value of new cars? I bought a new car a few months ago. I wanted a diiferent car for my business, but I had about $15,000 negative equity in my truck. I have good credit, but..... I bought a Dodge Hornet that was marked down $17,000 ($47,000 msrp) the bank didn't even flinch. I financed just under MSRP. The Hornet was probably worth around $26k when I drove it off the lot. I would think banks would do a little research because they financed essentially 140 - 145% LTV.

Dealerships where given more than enough time to restore proper pricing to be more fair to average consumers, but if this is the case NEW Online pricing may be a lot better to use, you pay what you can afford you don’t want junk accessories or added warranty with them Nitro tires This would be way more beneficial, if customer wants car serviced then the dealership should repair ( warranty no cost to customers) so service shops should remain open. Banks hate dealerships rates are through the roof too, better to find your own financing rate 😅

I was going to buy a new truck during Covid, but the outrageous mark ups caused me to not do it. I am still driving my 2001 F150 that I bought brand new. 240k miles, showing its age for sure, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if I drove it for another 10 years. It runs great and parts are dirt cheap. I will just keep fixing it until it rusts away for good. I do all the work on it myself, so it only costs me parts to keep it running. No way I am paying new truck prices. Absolute rip off, the manufactures and dealers are gouging. Lower the price 30% and I’ll buy, otherwise I am just going to keep driving my truck. Screw the new car industry, they can all go out of business.

Wow , sounds like the perfect storm for auto sales this year. I've been looking at new trucks and they are expensive upward 57K . Used trucks are about 5 to 15K less than a new truck but are selling at the same prices when new several years ago, so used is out for me. The incentive are getting better for new cars and trucks. Very few are going to buy in this used car and truck market unless you really need a car or truck to replace. Cars are not a priority right now for many people , I think keeping a roof over their head is a priority. Apartments and home rentals are high and very competitive and people want stay where there at financially and improve there bottom line and pay off the bills and stay where their living at now rather than buy a car unless you really need need one. Getting back into direct car sales sounds fantastic but these commercial property leases in Vegas seem to high at 40K month , that person is dreaming. Commercial property is dime a dozen throughout the southwest with lots of open space . why is Las Vegas commercial property so high? Real Estate brokers think LA residents are moving to Vegas?

The only guy driving a new car this tax season is the tax collector. The junk near me is still priced too high. The dealerships are filled with young kids who are beyond annoying. Seriously, I stopped at a dealership, kid shows me a used car. Nice car. I ask, "tell me about the warranty". He looks like I just tazed him. "Warranty"? "I'll ask my boss". I look him in the eye, "you don't know what warranties are attached to the cars you are showing"? "I just start here last week". ....... It was time to walk.

Don’t need a 10 minute video to explain this. Vehicles are price 30-50% more than they should be. The value of something is the price a customer is willing to pay for it. Market adjusted covid prices will be the end of the dealership model. Good riddance. Consumers in 2025 want invoice factory direct pre 2019 prices. No lying commissioned middleman inflating prices.

well said. There is a disconnect between what the consumer can pay and the price where the dealerships are willing to sell. Even with rebates many dealers are losing money every time they sell a car and that money is going straight to the bank to pay off the delinquent floor plan.

That guy on J&S Auto seems to move a lot of cars... but who knows what the margins are and he appears to have a lot of overhead, mechanics, sales people, social media guy, etc..etc. I assume there is an interest expense on his inventory too ? So many of his customers are buying cars they cant afford, underwater in loans only to get more underwater

Trading success requires technical analysis skills, discipline, and emotional maturity. It’s not about timing the market, but being prepared for it. Sophia Haney’s wisdom, daily trade signals, and my commitment to learning have led to steady increases in daily earnings to over 16BTC. Keep up the great work!

I hope this inspires someone to start investing today, regardless of age. I wasn’t financially free until my 40s, but I’m still in my 40s with a third property, passive income, and four of my five goals. Investing in the financial market was a wise choice. Thanks for sharing this incredibly inspiring video!

Diversify your income streams to boost your earnings. This year, I’ve successfully done this by investing while I work. I invested through Sophia Haney, the CNBC anchor who often mentioned her. She invested my startup capital in less than three months after getting certified.

I have been quite cautious to get involved in this specific industry, but I believe that this is the perfect time to do so. I went to a seminar where the speaker discussed how lnvesting in cryptocurrencies may result in gains in the near future of well over $4.5 million. I have to know which coin to buy with.

I invested across major markets and follow Sophia’s rules, a great financial advisor. My portfolio has grown by 20-30% monthly while my IRA stagnates. Her exceptional diversification skills have not limited my portfolio to my choices; they reflect her placements. She provided me with financial independence.

People who purchased vehicles from dealerships have been getting ripped off ever since the COVID 19 pandemic. One car dealer bragged that he made 10 thousand dollars profit off selling one vehicle. A Yukon Denali. 10 thousand dollars profit ????? Get real. People are getting screwed. Vehicle sell for pennies on the dollar at the car auctions. Consumers would be shocked
