To buy an 80,000 and be financially responsible a customer should make a minimum of 141,000 per year. To buy a 125,000 vehicle, a customer should be at 217,000 a year. These customers are not average customers and people in that income bracket have basically every brand of vehicle trying to sell them.

Love the styling of nissan, but the CVT is a deal breaker.

[@optimusprime1634]

Here in the north east you dont see much price change. You call the dealers and offer them 1500 less on a 30k car and they say no.

[@frankm2145]

Dealers are closing in erie pa

Good!! Like the rest of us. They make way to much money on them anyway..

[@huddunlap3999]

If the big companies knew what was coming they would have dropped prices awhile back,

HD ..............I guess you call that Blind Greed ???

[@Pro1er]

If Ford wants to sell astronomically priced vehicles they need to stop making junk.

[@dacinrodney7024]

I keep hearing this but I see 30 day tags everywhere

[@hondomckee1555]

This is the end result of over-inventing the automobile.

[@mikembf7777]

I don't feel sorry for these dealers they got greedy over the pandemic.

[@KNIGHTOFELEMIA-i7i]

If it's not making money dump it. I bet they are dumping dealerships that are not making and are actually costing them money.

[@markgarcia733]

I see more new trucks on the road with paper tags from dealer now days than I have ever before in my area. King Ranch, Platinum, High Country, all the high dollar trims. People are still buying these $80k trucks out here.

It's almost like these big auto makers know something is coming. Like another big round of stimmie checks and zero percent interest rates. Wonder what "they", have planned for this Fall?

[@miket.220]

I’d like to be able to buy a new reliable easy to maintain vehicle free of endless doodads and a basic automatic transmission for less than $25k out the door -AT THE DEALERSHIP -. First car company than can deliver that gets my business. Otherwise I just keep repairing my 11yr old car.

Only nissan i would buy is stick shift,since they are droping them on lot of there lines then i can not trust there cvt.

[@janellhanks5324]

What will happen to. These cars , suv and trucks?

[@SHOE53]

Yep AutoNation see what coming down the road, these ice have got so expensive it's pushing people to ev, none of these ice should be selling at those prices these dealer were asking.

[@skimonkey5855]

SOLUTIONS: 1. cut executive pay 2. cut prices ---- simple!

[@jdub1139]

Car dealers are going to find out that customers won’t be coming in until they advertise these discounts.

[@edwsal59]

There is a AutoNation near me and they have a large banner that says "Open". Are sales so slow one can't tell if you are open without a large open sign?

[@jasondavis1502]

Sounds like a margin call to me

Nope, not seeing car prices come down in GR86, GR Corolla, Porsche Cayman. Something cheap I can track with minimal modification.

Not even a monthly payment on most new vehicles

And most don't even give the military discount to veterans, but only active duty or retired.

I don't care if trucks were $20,000 I wouldn't buy one, just filling up the gas tank sucks.

[@Hank_W6IR]

Look for all large purchases, except maybe real estate, to be put on hold until after the election. Then, depending on who wins, there will either be a surge in purchases or a complete collapse of the car market.

[@Tobstertacoma]

Does this mean Bideonomics is NOT working then, lol??

[@kiefbox4908]

The car market is collapsing! I just bought a car and I had to wait for an hour to speak for a salesman because they were all busy selling cars! OMG!!!
