Stellantis forced to cope with having too much inventory in Metro Detroit

Auto industry profits have soared since the end of the pandemic. The highest sales and monthly payment rates ever recorded were achieved as inventories stayed low. But, as we well know around here, business can change on a dime.

@@bmw803True, but with the kind of markup many of these dealerships are doing, against the manufacturers wishes, it may actually be cheaper to order your own car and pay MSRP. Instead of being forced to buy whatever black or white vehicle, you could actually order something in a different color. None of that wholesale markup crap. People used to drive all sorts of colors, and vehicles with options and without. If you want a car with a manual transmission, you could order it! The absurdity of an “affordable” car was always a lie because such a car never existed. It always had to be ordered, which means no discounts, no haggling.

I drove a clapped out 1996 Mitsubishi gallant with no AC and one window working out of the four. I drove that car for three years. I went and bought a jeep grand Cherokee and put $20,000 down. I got a 5% interest rate. I now owe 6000 on that jeep and it is worth 30,000. Right now I still rent when I know others that own, but are in worse financial situations than myself. I have no credit card debt with almost $100,000 in available credit. My only loan is my auto loan which I am upside by a great amount. I can’t buy a house for 400,000 when I can simply look at the price history and see that it’s sold for half that before Covid. Guess most people do not have a problem becoming bag holders.

They lost me when they started making vehicles that no mechanic could fix, even at their own dealerships.

[@Sam-le6sp]

The first mfgr. that does away with engines you cant service yourself. That does away with 75% of the needless sensors, does away with electric windows, electric seats, blue tooth, cruise control, sound systems, family seating, sunroofs, flat screens, anything less than a true 8" bed, aluminum construction, steering wheel controls, automatic transmissions, will make trillions!!!!!

[@donwyoming1936]

Reminds me of the guys whinging about seat belts back in the 1960s. They'll add $10 to the price of the car! Who needs them? Pansies!

[@Sam-le6sp]

@@donwyoming1936 Whinging....really whinging.....I just want a work truck to be a work truck again. They obliterated the Jeep too. Off road vehicles for people who never go off road.

[@MrDvsuton]

Nice file footage. Unfortunately, the lot you were looking at was a staging line for accessories at its assembly plant in Sterling Heights. Next time get it right

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

They are masters at deception. This is t even real media, it’s basically controlled. No freedom of the press.

It's what happens when you raise prices 30% and have abysmal quality. If they want to actually sell them, drop the prices by the 30%+ increase and significantly improve quality.

[@smijuwan706602]

The current business model in the auto industry seems problematic. Many manufacturers prioritize profit over quality, often using cheaper materials at the expense of the consumer. It's frustrating for those of us who work hard and want to reward ourselves with a car purchase, only to receive a mediocre product. This situation is unfair to consumers.

[@deanothedinosaur9069]

Blame JoeFlation and UAW for overpriced junk not selling.

[@blackwidow3922]

With the crazy mark ups and stellantis over making vehicles when UAW was on strike back fired on them.

[@blomegoog]

dont buy cars from brands i cannot spell or pronounce. what does it mean?

[@LK-bz9sk]

Lowering the price 4-9 k on certain models....how about 15 thousand dollars off..

[@Skavatar789]

UAW pay increase has to come from somewhere

[@capdaviscams7169]

$30k for a car? You people are CRAZY! I paid $160 for a 1992 GMC Pickup at a tow auction in 2018 and put this truck into commercial service with 320k on the clock and it has 525k on it now. Yes i have replaced nearly every moving part on the truck in that time but all that work has cost me about $7k. So.. $7k for 200k miles of service across 6 years..... The reduction in insurance costs for this 30 year old vehicle vs a new one has covered the $7k and then some....Stop throwing vehicles away! You are throwing your money away! Get one out of the 'trash' and save yourself THOUSANDS!

[@billymacktexasdetective5827]

The vast majority of people have no idea how to work on a vehicle, let alone have the tools to do so.

[@STREETRACEN4U]

my truck has 350k on it now and i too realized its just cheaper to keep this one on the road vs buying a shiny new one!

[@Yophillips3272]

@billymacktexasdetective5827 I know how to work on cars pretty good I'm not a master mechanic or anything but what I don't have is $4,000 to get a rebuilt transmission so I had to get a new vehicle. Especially if you have a older vehicle with a pretty specific part that's hard to find.

[@milfordcivic6755]

Nobody can afford $80k for a truck. Ridiculous!

[@randyt3558]

Manufacturing problems during and after the pandemic created shortages, which caused a surge in prices because demand was outstripping supply. Now that manufacturing problems have abated, supply is outstripping demand. As always, this is a management problem. Factory management only has one goal. To produce as many vehicles as possible. They don't care what or how many are selling. That is head offices's and dealer's problem. It's not a sign of economic problems, it's a sign of conflicting management issues.

[@ashho313]

Huh. 90k for a pick up truck before the intrest I mean.

[@tmilholin7552]

Wait till November, they will be giving them away for free

[@X_crypto1977]

They worth absolutely NOTHING if people don’t or can’t exchange money for them. 😂😂😂😂

[@johnford397]

I bought a 2017 Ram for $38,500 plus taxes. The msrp on the window sticker was $66,000. So a $5000 rebate on a $80,000 Ram doesnt seem like a deal at all. I guess they will stay sitting in the sun baking.

Interest rates are through the roof. Thank joe for that

[@bradknight2618]

Unless you have unneeded cash, buying a car or truck is absolutely dumb!

[@billymacktexasdetective5827]

Unneeded cash is an oxymoron...

[@VintageVaughnVehiclces]

You simply buy a house near Amish territory, put the carriage in the garage and the horse in the backyard. And then ride down the street and they'll just think that your Amish when really you're avoiding buying a vehicle.

[@robertmalone3997]

UAW made the cost up on a new contract. Good going UAW.

[@meandshe1518]

I've owned all of the big 3 cars including Chrysler/Dodge 3 times. Even a 75% off sale wouldn't put me back in one of those autos, including Jeep.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Fool?

[@galactichazaritos8306]

This is why I want Chinese Automakers in the US, the vehicles they make are incredibly cheap and have gotten incredibly robust. American companies will fight tooth and nail to keep them out because they know they'll be torn apart.

“Stellantis” sounds like an ED medicine. “Don’t take Stellantis if you are allergic to Stellantis or any of its ingredients”. “If you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours while taking Stellantis, make sure you and your partner stay hydrated”.

Great news. All automobile prices need to come down at least 50%
