--------------------------
VIDEO NOTES:
Layoffs are ramping up within the automotive business industry… production line workers & dealership staff/salesmen.
Repos surge 23-24%
22% of all auto loans last couple of months were denied… 1/5 auto loans applied for DENIED!
MSRPs are dropping in some cases... Like for the Ford Bronco Raptor.
Banks are tightening up, often requiring buyers to have a larger down deposit with excellent credit.
Banks won’t fund marked up vehicles… Which is great!
Dealers are kicking themselves for being greedy throughout the pandemic… ruined customer loyalty.
Nearly half of all Nissan Dealerships are losing money right now….
Stellantis’ stock has dropped over 50% since the start of the year!
Cut production… Ford, Stellantis, Nissan, GM has been doing layoffs.
Everyone in the car market right now is feeling the pain…
Inventory levels across the board are increasing.
Average across the industry is over 75 days on market!
Floorplans are costing dealers a ton…
Dealers are turning away allocations! Which is driving 10-20K discounts!
Nissan and Mazda had to make some extreme incentivized offers to move inventory.
Trade-In Values are trash though.
Interest rates haven’t subsided much… Still 7-10% with Excellent Credit.
Insurance rates have over doubled in the last 5 years…
Many states have seen an over 50% increase over the last year!
Hurricane doesn’t help… insurance fraud.
Housing has gone up tremendously… cost of groceries… cost of living overall hasn’t let up!
People are struggling. People are just doing whatever it takes to just hold on…
Cheap vehicles are selling. That’s it.
Wholesale prices are looking bleak… consumer retail always lags behind (3-4 months).
Average negative equity has risen to $7K.
What’s next:
Prices of vehicles have consistently dropped over the last year.
It’s by all contexts of the phrase a “buyers market." You can be choosy.
Lightly used vehicles will offer huge savings again!
But be careful buying used… many of them now are repos
You can expect great incentivized rates AND the discounts. Get both.
Be patient, prices will continue to fall!

I’m going to call absolute bullshit on this video. M currently shopping for a used Tacoma and dealers are not budging. I went to a Nissan dealership to look at a 2019 Tacoma which they had priced at $33k. They told me out the door was $40 after dealer add ons and ttl. I have an 814 experian and $10k down and they let me walk after I offered $33k out the door. I’ve called probably 10 dealerships nationwide looking at 20 or 21 viidoo blue Tacoma and almost all have come back at 38-40k out the door and not 1 would budge. You’re simply making click bait at this point. Go try and buy and I promise they are not in panic mode.

[@slimboyd]

Same here man...these dealers don't give af about losing money. They are not budging im actually in Miami and have a pretty solid fico 8 too.

[@gtray3572]

Same. I'm not seeing much budging. In fact, took my wife's car for an oil change and inspection recently. While there they asked if I'd consider trading up. I listened. They didn't budge much at all on the car and the trade value they offered was a joke. No thanks. UM is right about INSURANCE COMPANIES ripping folks off. Something needs to seriously happen there for real! My insurance nearly doubled since last year WTF!! 🤬

U are 100% correct. It will never be a buyers market until people stop buying cars.

[@jayteesgear]

Great points and for those who are young and dont understand inflation- in 2007 a LOADED Trd pro Tacoma would be $27k… 2017 ten years later it only jumped to $30k. TEN YEARS Now- in 2021 you could find most mid size trucks around $32k starting- only THREE years later you are paying the prices this mentions. $40k and up- that is RIDICULOUS!

[@TheSiliconeslick]

I am so glad you calling out this problem we have. It’s about to time the manufacturers hear that Americans can’t afford and choose to not buy these over priced vehicles. If the buyer stops buying them the prices will drop.

Great Information and narration of what is now happening in the Market place. Worked for a FORD dealership in the RI area that is used to selling 350 to 450 cars New and Used a month. That's roughly about 4,500 to 4,800 cars a year, and rule of thumb was to make $2,500.00 per car in profit. $2,500.00 X 4,500 cars = $11,250,000 of Profit per year. During the pandemic this one dealership was making over $5,000.00 to $7,000.00 profit per vehicle. Multiply that $6,000.00 X 4,500 cars per year = $27,000,000 Million dollars Profit per year. Does not include there SERVICE Department cost per hour at $139.00 per hour. YES.......these owners of these dealerships were greedy and without morale's. There justification supply and demand. The economy and pendulum is again changing. GREAT Job on what is now happening in the marketplace.

This video is great. Very informative and straight to the point. Felt more like 5 minutes than almost 20 👌

[@truslyd]

I just impeccably maintain my 96 Tacoma and it continues to serve me well..

[@UntamedMotors]

Nice! Good call man. I’d do the same.

[@ItzTheThrill]

Thanks for all the content, time and info!

[@xiondFirst]

Before the collapse the used market needs to ease. The problem here is used cars are so expensive that dealers can get away with charging high prices for vehciles.

[@kurtbeck5809]

Supply and demand but a used vehicle or less expensive vehicle has cheaper insurance which is crazy now here in CA

[@xiondFirst]

@@kurtbeck5809 it's not just CA it's everywhere. The problem is I was looking at a 7 year old vehicle and the price was over 30k. So I said no thanks and looking at a newer Honda Civic.

[@kurtbeck5809]

Yeah...that is crazy at 30k for a 7 year old vehicle depending on the model...unfortunately it seems like a complete new world now and not necessarily for ​the betterwhenitcomestocars@@xiondFirst

[@UntamedMotors]

I agree. I believe that’s happening before our eyes now. Trade in values are crumbling… which will inadvertently impact the used market. It can’t happen fast enough though.

[@Sommers234]

This kind of price gouge reporting is very important. Corporate greed is running rampant and yet so many people like to blame our political leaders. And they just voted in a friend to large corporations. Great move of America.

[@michaelp4834]

Another excellent video. The chickens are coming home to roost. And yes, if we are going to pay inflated MSRPs, I would expect it to benefit American, not foreign workers.

Thanks for the kind words brother! I really appreciate the support! 🙏

Am with you brother! Am in the market for a new vehicle and thankful that the tables have turned! Zero brand loyalty and only request naturally aspirated and a sweet deal!!

[@Bufford2024]

When prices drop by a full zero ... or 90 percent down, it will be a balanced market. 😅

Haha yeah even with these “large” discounts it still feels like we are far off from where we should be. 🤷‍♂️

[@komek-58]

just picked up my ranger raptor at MSRP and drove it off the lot past of a huge row of marked up new tacos and tundras just collecting dust at the dealer across the street. vote with your money people! Toyota has to learn this hard lesson, it's the only way they'll change.

[@UntamedMotors]

Couldn’t agree more 👌 Congrats on the new Ranger Raptor! Great choice.

[@jasonthrash4357]

I only buy vehicles that are 10,000 or less. The past 20 years, I have spent less than 20,000.00 on vehicles, not including the repairs that added up to about 5000.00. People spend WAY TOO MUCH on cars and trucks.

[@UntamedMotors]

That’s a smart move 👌 Couldn’t agree more. Prices have lost touch with reality.

[@Charlie-d3z]

You sir are very lucky I tried that and spent why to much money. The repairs add up quick. Along with down time to pull it apart and fixed it.

[@misaelhernandez5021]

I work in auto sales and this last year was the hardest year I’ve had in any industry. People just expect you to discount 10-15% of the vehicle and dealers are still paying as if they had tons of mark up on these vehicles so the sales person ends up making no commission on 80% of his sales for the month

[@brians.1357]

I think Chevy’s latest 0% offer is for 36months not 72 and it’s either the low finance rate or cash on the hood not both. Just what I’m seeing on their website. Maybe the dealerships can combine offers if negotiated ??

Unless that truck has a fridge a washer and dryer a bed and a toilet were never buying them I hope all dealerships go bankrupt no bailouts this time. Time for a reset

[@Bravesdarrell8552]

Sad thing is Toyota took the factory out of Texas and are now making the Tacoma In Mexico. So Toyota cut costs in manufacturing the trucks. But did Toyota pass the savings to the customers, NOPE ! They increased the cost around 30% which is crazy . I’m not paying over 50k for a midsize truck. And I’m not even going to start talking about the problems that the Tacoma has . 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

100% it’s quite saddening…. And makes zero sense. You’re not alone on thinking that.

I don’t feel sorry for automakers or the dealerships. They went for the money and screwed the customers. Now they are getting screwed. Karma is a bitch

Amen to that brother. Only the dealers that didn’t fall victim to markups during the last few years can look themselves in the mirror now. 👌

This is why I saved And Saved then bought my 17 GT used.. I found that car with 8,909 miles on it.. She had one other owner and was garage kept.. I will never be at the mercy of the banks ever again... I can't believe how many people are out there right now with dam near $1000 a month payments and that's what it turns into with insurance included more even.. I sleep well at night know I own my cars... That's why new cars aren't selling, it's because smart people don't want to be on the hook for that much money every month!!!!

[@jamesveltman8634]

Great vid… look, it’s simple…we need to go back to a pre-pandemic car industry, car market conditions because what these greedy corporates are doing is completely backfiring on them, assembly line workers, dealerships…and the American consumers…we need to go back to quality made vehicles that truly equate to the amount of money/investment by the consumer…quality by way of again being made here in the US, not outside, fair pricing, reliable vehicles, traditional powertrain platform…because another reason US buyers aren’t buying these cars is because their purchase no longer supports American workers when car manufacturers outsource to poor countries where quality is apparently not a factor…at least according to…well…Gen 4 Tacoma owners..many who have posted vids showing their trucks made with cheaper materials, poor assembly quality, and at a price that just doesn’t make sense…especially when Toyota SAVES money on cheap, foreign labor pay…but instead of passing along savings to the consumers..like how other products, most of em made in China…are affordable because of foreign, cheap labor production…Toyota corporates jack the price up at ridiculous proportions….so yur paying what you can’t or barely can afford, and all your money is now getting you less vehicle because of poor quality, not to mention these ridiculous turbo platforms that “overdrive” these small displacement engines that are gonna have no chance at reaching 100k miles…so at this point, you’re basically throwing money out the window when in 10 years or less yur gonna need a new vehicle…it’s just a horrible time to buy a car, hands down!!! The $40k Frontier pickup, naturally aspirated 6 cyl 4x4 is exactly!!!’ EXACTLY what we need to go back to…the fact that dealerships are going broke because their inventory is sitting endlessly on lots, production jobs lost due to outsourcing and greedy corporate MSRPs causing brand new vehicles to basically rot because either we refuse to pay those ridiculous prices after all things mentioned above, or probably more frequently, people just can’t afford those prices…it’s just insane, never heard of consumer punishment as far as I’m concerned….it’s just more greed on top of already existing greed “laying waste”to middle Americans…and honestly, who wants a vehicle sitting on the lot for months on end, out in all the “elements”…do dealers even drive any of em to keep them in running condition?? who’s begun thinking Americans are stupid and will just simply say…after everything I just said above…” oh well, I’m gonna buy anyway” …🤷‍♂️…I guess if there are those who are gonna pay those prices anyways, greedy companies are gonna to continue to get away with those asking prices causing the major of us (middle Americans) to suffer without🫤

When people either can not or will not purchase then production decreases and prices eventually fall but perhaps not that much as they wait for demand to purchase the available inventory...depending on the severity a recession could loom in the background.

I just had Ford buy back my 2023 Ford explorer ST. To much wind noise they couldn’t fix plus infotainment screen going black and didn’t stream music well. It was so nice getting a fat check from Ford getting all my money back! I want to get the new 2025 ST but interest rates are insane! I’m not paying 5%-7% on a 60k vehicle. For anyone reading this I highly recommend getting the new ST or Active trim over the older models. Much needed refresh and updated infotainment! The new google system is fantastic! Hard to beat the performance and features for the money. I don’t think you will find anything as good. Let me know if you know of something!? I’m definitely looking

What's their overall value though? They are international corporations, their allegiance is to their investors. They couldn't care less if they sold a car as long as their stock value imcreases. Playing along with the government for incentives and avoiding penalties while globalists drive up stock values in exchange for embracing ESG policies. A company can make it's investors a lot of money before that model collapses then when it does the tax payers will bail them out. Corporatism is great isn't it.

[@zukifan26]

The new reality that you speak of on Tacomas is due to the massive leap in equipment they are available with. Fully loaded Tacoma in 2021 was a $46,000 truck for a TRD Off Road Premium for example. That had leather, premium audio with 8in screen, heated seats, camera system and moon roof. Now that same trim level is equipped with premium audio, 14inch display, moonroof, softex, heated seats, cooled seats, improved crawl control and mts. I think the inflation is outrageous but it does need to be balanced against the increase in equipment availability on certain models as well.

[@CurtGodwin]

I just don't understand why anyone would pay $55K for a TRD Off-Road when they could get a Colorado ZR2 for $50K. Dual lockers... 33" tires... excellent shocks... aggressive looks. Other than the "bUt It'5 a t0yOta!!!" crowd, who in their right mind would pick the Tacoma?

I have been shopping for a '24 or '25 new or used (less than 5k miles) Honda Passport Black Edition in a 500 mile radius of Atlanta since June. 10% below MSRP is relatively easy to negotiate but in many cases dealer add ons wipe most of the discount out. No better discounts offered on the new '24 models on the lot even with a '26 redesign expected the first part of next year. Low mileage used prices within $2k of new vehicles make them almost not worth buying even though they have the CPO warranty. In the case of new, I can't see paying the current asking price for a car with '19 technology that is about to be replaced with a new design, though there is something to be said about the current proven platform.

Electric vehicles have driven insurance prices up tremendously.

[@stephkent2736]

It’s not EVs. It’s Tech. LIDAR, emergency stop systems, android auto, screen costs, adaptive cruise, etc all have expensive sensors and motors to install, tune, and calibrate. Combine that with a car that’s designed to crumple and protect core versus being rugged when hit under 20 and totaling becomes a bigger thing. Also, negative equity will have people totaling their cars for GAP/insurance payouts vs selling them to get out.
