Was at a Ford dealership yesterday and they had 2 2023 raptors and still wanted 20,000 market adjustment and 5 2024 raptors with a 30,000 adjustment fee. Told them to keep sitting on them. They would not deal.

[@buggsy5]

Yep. Both the manufacturers and the dealers are bat shit crazy. The manufacturers need to cut their price to dealers to a few thousand dollars above cost, with the MSRP a couple of thousand above that. And the dealers need to accept offers about a thousand below MSRP until this huge backlog is cleared. Even then, if they keep the production lines running, it will take years to clear out the backlog.

They would rather sit on them and try to get a big mark up. 🙄

You can beat this drum every day. A 5k discount on a 65k F150 doesn't mean squad. Even the best equipped F150 is not worth more than 50k. Until Ford actually reduces sticker prices by 20k across the board, your daily excitement means nothing. Which they won't. They rather lay off all their employees to rescue themselves to the other side of the interest rate mountain. Rather than getting giggly every day over the oversupply, you should publicly nail the OEM's for their nasty greed and pressure them in SUBSTANTIALLY reducing sticker prices. People should just stop buying pickups cold turkey for 2 years. THAT would send a message.

Give people vehicles that will last decades again. Don't keep trying to get people to buy a new vehicle every few years to avoid a mess of problems as everything breaks down.

Camera, tpms, airbags, and so much more are fed mandates - sad. Oem have no choice, but they DO love expensive, costly to repair doodads.

[@grndzro777]

We need airbags certainly, but TPMS...shit I had no idea that was mandated in 2007...they need to use diaphragm energy generation for those so every time the vehicle goes over a bump it charges the tpms. Just use a simple super capacitor and they will never fail. Just over build the transmitter and excess power would be dissipated automatically in a stronger signal. Simple, super cheap, and permanent. Shit cameras are mandated also...that means a decent screen is required, might as well make everything electronic......FFS we are in this mess because of backup cameras.

It’s not about how fast they lower them it’s about how far. Crowing about a 3% discount off MSRP on a car that has increased 30% in 3 years is a middle finger in the face of their customers.

They can be stubborn (oems and dealers) - would rather burn up capital and pay bankruptcy lawyers than admit they ruined the business model by raping the customer base during times of tight inventory. When retail oil prices go up during short supply (the immutable economic law for commodities), every politician in the country screams "EXCESS PROFIT!!!!! PRICE GOUGING!!!!" into every media microphone within a half-mile radius. When the auto industry did it, where were the State Attorney Generals? What is the exact number for excess profit? Some people had to buy a car to get to work - and paid $20k+ market adjustments. What a polite phrase - should have been "Screw You Fee". Dealer says "Nothing we can do, supply and demand. Sorry. Come Back Soon."

[@thomasmatthews7388]

The thing is from a long term perspective interest rates are still at accommodative levels. They cannot lower interest rates right now because they are still low. We just exited a historic period of extremely low interest rates fueled by globalization. Given the macros and end of globalization the fed is stuck. Prices will ether need to come down, cheaper products made or everyone needs a raise to support the cost of these vehicles because interest rates are going to be very sticky.

[@tomkomadina7390]

Maybe Ford could be taken at their word. They have had high warranty claims and apparently they are trying to decrease those claims by slowing new car roll outs and checking software (an area of high warranty claims) problems and solving them along with other things. I don't know why they would suddenly hold back vehicles to help dealers clear old stock. Why would they delay deliveries of the new Ranger, for example, when it will sell well?

[@john_nip_nop]

Costs do go up over time - mandates like safety and efficiency and emissions run up prices also. But the manuf. CAN control the optional accessories that no one asked for or needs. Just luxury doodads to run up profits and all are just as useful as the dealer-installed desert package or norcal package.

Like you mentioned that AG of stat should look into this issue. 3- my experience with dealers in last one month is very disturbing , as they are not customer focus, fudging number on the name fee, accessories and destination charges. There is no connect between sales staff and their own Financial department. Who is getting impacted, “customer”, I came from Asian market to USA, and try to understand and comparing from other countries. I suggest you should do comparison of multiple countries, like you to review say car toyota corolla and prices in multiple countries.

Dealership needs to lower the interest rates for every truck that they want to sell. People suffered a lot and they cannot afford those trucks, too pricey not even a luxury car. In my opinion, whether you have bad or good credit you should be able to get a new or used car with very low APR. dealership needs to give back to the community to be able to sell those cars

Back at the end of 05 and threw out 06 and beginning of 07 they were giving 12 to 14 grand off 3/4 tons desiles. But they were only 48 to 52 grand. What are they going to have to give to sell this inventory.

Looked at used ford escape hybrid 2022 it still has a recall with no solution. 😂😂😂😂

[@victorcontreras6439]

If i have the option of buying a car from auction im looking at a 2024 Crosstrek wilderness or from a dealership what would be best ?

[@ScanFan_Ed]

Is there any sign yet at all that the American automaker execs are starting to realize that they need to bring back more adorable vehicles? I really hope they are starting to get the message.

[@DCGEMINI202]

I was about to sign up for car edge but i didnt know there was a $10 monthly fee. Im not currently car shopping but i was just curious but ill pay it later on.

Overpriced and built before and recently after UAW strike. Nothing says quality like workers that hate the company and can't be fired for doing a poor job.

[@NYERIC14]

Ray- we absolutely love you in NY. Too funny!!!

[@duaneharris1955]

Ray needs some time off

[@greateats6905]

To comment on prices or sales coming down , you can be critic on still be positive and still hold those that raised the prices accountable, I still see ford lots with dealerships mark up past the price , let them suffer and see how it comes way down .

[@davidbrattain1446]

Why don't dealers move to a "price performance model"? Fact is, vehicles are quickly moving to a commodity product. The vehicles are for the most part so similar (due to regulations as well as industry standardization) that there is little to no customer intimacy or product innovation in the industry any more. Dealers have margin in the MSRP. Skip the dealer add-ons and other crap, split the margin, reduce staff and get someone to simply process the contracts. They can move inventory in weeks and make money. Dealers have too much wrapped up in dealership frills and supporting staff that they don't need.

I sold the house of a manager at Ford back in the mid 1990's. He told me Ford was loving the trend toward Pickups and SUV's because the profit margins were insane compared to cars. He laughed about how the Eddie Bauer Edition Explorers were flying out the door. He said the Eddie Bauer is basically an XLT with two tone paint and some branding on the interior and exterior. He said it literally cost Ford a couple hundred dollars to make an Eddie Bauer compared to an XLT yet the Eddie Bauer was thousands more. So Ford was absolutely killing it on these vehicles. Now it's so much worse.

[@rtsolution11]

Still market adjusting at my local dealers. Local CDJR is not interested in anything below or above MSRP....where is the logic?? This is like a planned out train wreck. Simply do not understand. Lots FLOODED beyond anything I ever have seen in my adult life yet ZERO interest in moving the metal. Was at local Honda store today and Iwas the only one in the showroom. Sales staff sitting playing on their phones, not a single one got up to ask me if I needed help. They simply looked like they were DONE with life in general.

[@silkemueller1391]

I do not feel sorry one bit. the ford and ram dealers w here I live are so arrogant. needless to say that they truck I've been trying to buy is still sitting on their lot because they didn't want to go down 3k. its a 2023 laramie 3500. tough luck...first time I want in was october. last time february. YOUR caredge website needs to be updated!! we decided to keep our current truck since they lowballed me for that one too...

[@hochhaul]

The absolute most arrogant dealers I have every dealt with were Toyota and Subaru dealers.

[@sebastionhastings9009]

Can’t believe I caught yall live 🤯🤯🤯

[@GIUL7301]

No, I won't intertain a new vehicle until prices drop 50%. So truthfully, I'll never buy new again. I currently have 3 20 year old vehicles with a continuous $8,000 maintenance and emergency repair fund. Older vehicles are more dependable.

[@billc333]

Ray, you’re kidding me…middle class are decimated and don’t have the cash flow to pay these MSRP prices and who can afford these monthly loan unless you are in the top 10%, not only that who will trade in a 70k plus truck with an underwater loan…it’s not just inventory due to price it’s inventory due to not trading your car at 4-5 years but now 8-10 years! The sad thing is trucks now sold under 50k are crap off-road…just 7-10k MSRP reduction and it will get the market moving for the middle class!

[@mannypedroso7089]

2011 Toyota sales mgr told me dealer had to wire payment before cars started journey to destination. Is this true?

[@ocean911]

Sounds like the industry is at least a year behind because the 2025 are on the way too.

[@glenncheatham1320]

It’s like a bad circus with these OEMs sending these out. Good luck selling them.🙄

[@smitebrothersprochannel431]

Love the videos. But I am trying to buy a gmc and it seems like they won’t budge off the price at all… makes no sense

[@matturner7763]

Hey RAY, walking is great exercise but remember that if you stop focusing on stupid comments is totally AWESOME for your BLOOD PRESSURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
