You as a consumer have to remember that the dealer giving you a "discount" on a model year leftover is no bargain. The vehicle is one model year older and has depreciated in value, even though it is "brand new". So, you have to go beyond the depreciation to get a good price.

A used car lot in my area has a 2020 Toyota Corolla sitting on his lot for 2.5 years with an asking price of over $26,200 as he's asking more for that used car than when it was brand new. I'm not at all interested in that car as the only reason I'm watching it is that it blows my mind that he's not dropping the price on a now almost 5 year old car, and can't figure out how this is cost effective for the dealer as it sits on his lot rusting away.

And then our government lectures us on the climate and environment. Supposedly they're manufacturing such complex and expensive vehicles to help with fuel consumption and emissions. What's the point of manufacturing these vehicles if they are going to become part of land fill.

[@markholubetz]

Yes that does not make a huge amount of sense

[@GannDolph]

The move towards complexity has been a long slow march, well underway since way before climate politics became the latest whipping bill. In fact we were complaining about how computerized and complex automobiles had become, how they were nearly impossible to repair yourself, and how they were less durable what with the explosion of cheap plastic parts everywhere.. -literally over twenty years ago. . There are two long-term drivers of this long running trend: 1) competition: keeping up with latest features, bells and whistles and max power/performance, and the technology and complexity that comes along with that. 2) managed product lifecycle: manufacturers intentionally designing to shorter expected product lifecycle, increasing the frequency of recurring new sales. This is done by cheapening up many parts, and a million other ways to limit the time vehicles remain economically viable to own. I can tell you the automakers are thrilled that everyone ridiculously believes 'climate politics' to be the villain , when in reality the villain is the manufacturers themselves...

[@Banzai51]

​@@GannDolph Wow, good explanation, thanks!

[@americanosbadassius9292]

​@@GannDolph It's had to be a slow march becausethe globalists don't want to raise too much awareness as they're vilating our natural rights and removing our sovereignty. Climate change is the argument they're using to do it and most of the big corporations have banded together with governments to bring it about. The US is the only bastion of freedom thats able to stop them and bring about their demise and most people on the left are too dum and hateful to recognize how these globalists are lying to them, and just gobble up soundbites as the truth, without doing due diligence and vetting the news clip. Most people are lazy and apathetic when it comes to politics. The World Economic Forum (WEF) and the UN, amongst other organizations, have had public statements released regarding these plans for years and Bill Gates is one of the major billionaire contributors helping to reduce world populations. He even has arrest warrants out for him in foreign nations because of it. There's a reason Russia has warships off of our coast now, in the Carribean. Total world Control is the goal and perpetual war is one of the tools to accomplish this along with mass depopulation; war, famine, disease, pandemics, etc. Make liKe a Boy Scout and BE PREPARED!

[@thingamajig6542]

Here is a question. What if a car manufacturer delivered a car to a buyer direct from the factory. The car company would only have locations where you can pick up your car but they do not have any unsold cars on the lot. How much would that reduce the price of the car. They could design the car such that any independent car repair shop could fix it with spare parts available online. Could that reduce the price of a care 30%, 40% etc. Think of all the cost to operate a dealership that would be eliminated (those costs get passed on to the buyer). The pick up location could also have test drive cars so customer could drive and look at car before placing online order. Could that be a game changer business model for buying a car.

[@izzyizzyizzy5638]

Ive been in car sales for 18 years so I can answer this question. They get moved around to different dealerships, They sit on the lot until someone comes in a dire situation and the GM heavily discounts the car. Clever customers come in with the upper hand who researched the VIN and offer cash. So many scenarios but they all do end up selling. Banks will never allow cars to just go to some brand new graveyard. If you’re looking for the best deal make sure you shop around online and consider out of state dealers as well.

Oils sitting for a long time in a sealed system (transmission & motor) do not go away! The reason for 5,000 miles or a year is. If the person put only 200 - 300 miles on the vehicle in month, would in most cases be short drives. Thereby not getting the motor up to operating temperature for long enough to get rid of the moisture in the oil. The moisture can form acids. The year then would come before 5,000 miles is traveled. If these were 30+ miles each trip. Then the 5,000 mile oil change would make sense. The time factor is relative here, to how it is driven.

A couple months ago i went to a dealer that had a new 22 Jeep Renegade and a new 22 Fiat 500X. I thought i might get a huge discount but the dealer was still attempting to sell them for around MSRP. I test drove the Fiat and the tires had the flat spots you talked about. I was shocked at the failure to discount these old cars, especially since I was most likely the only customer interested in them. I blew the whole idea and instead bought a 24 Malibu RS that was discounted and rebated at a price well below the 22 Renegade and Fiat!

Do not buy a Fiat or Jeep product, unless you like to tinker and fix things on a fairly regular basis. Or you don't mind the vehicle being in the shop a lot.

When we bought a vehicle in the 1980s using the Consumer Reports auto buying / printed out information on the model we wanted - (basic items and such) that made a huge difference in seeing the dealer cost, mark-ups, etc., I'd do that again -- We saved a ton of money that way.

Quick question! I need a larger SUV. My favorite is a 23 Lexus GX v8 version. I know, right now, that’s not an option. What’s a great SUV to lease that’s larger that has great deals..I’m think a Stellantis vehicle..but I have a dodge and I hate it because they don’t last. My husband. Says with the interest rates so high on a used car, why not look at a new car. I don’t want an electric vehicle. What’s a good Medium to Large sized SUV I could get a great deal on? I need leather and heated seats …I live in New York State. Any recommendations?

[@markholubetz]

Hi, there a a couple options that come to mind and the first is the outgoing Lexus GX460 (v8) and not the new gx550 as they have those engine issues right now. Infiniti has the large qx80 or the Nissan Armada are the same vehicle as the Infiniti. For incentives the big 3 have the best but the quality is the worst. Steam away from Yukon or Escalade due to quality issues and the Stellantis has the Dodge Durango but they are not well made. The Jeep Wagoneer is an option but a bit pricey too and quality is not as good as the Lexus. For something a slight smaller maybe have a look at the Acura MDX as it’s built better tha. Most of these other vehicles.

Would dealers like it if all customers just ordered the vehicle, arranged financing and waited for it to arrive, take possession and off they go? That’s what I do for all of my vehicles but I suspect the public wants to buy off the lot right away and not wait so they have to maintain an inventory.

I did a really good deal when I bought my 2008 Tundra in 2009. With the financial crisis, cars just weren't selling. To make matters worse, the truck I was looking at was ( I think) a fleet purchase that went bad. There were 2 leftover 2008's, both in a somewhat odd an unpopular configuration. They were basically work trucks - long bed, no extra cab. With all this going on, I was able to drive a very favorable deal, as the configuration was exactly what I was after anyway - just needed a truck to haul my dirt bikes and pull a travel trailer. Of course, there will be a penalty to pay when and if I want to sell it, but then that was 16 years ago and I've still got it....

When a new car goes to an auto graveyard, is it sent there by a dealer or the factory? If a model is not selling, why keep building them, why not shut the factory down until sales catch up?

[@johnfriend862]

Once it hits the dealers lot the factory is shed of it. It belongs to the dealer, who pays for it by financing it with their floorplanning bank. Every month the dealer has to pay the interest on all of those vehicles. The factory meanwhile just keeps cranking out more vehicles, because if they stop production the unions will go crazy that their workers aren't getting paid. The manufacturer will give some incentives when lots get overfilled, as they are now, but dealers are in a bind. These vehicles that have been sitting for months or even years have cost them a fortune in flooring interest, which right now is between 7% and 10%. Think about that, a $90,000 truck that costs a dealer $80,000, after sitting for 6 months has cost the dealer $4,000 in interest. If they dump it at cost they're still losing money. The dealers around me just aren't cutting deals at all, a $95,000 truck you can get $3,000 off. If you have a trade they'll offer you $15,000 (or more) under what they'll sell it for, because they're so strapped for cash for their interest payments. Plus they are selling cars here, nobody other than the Dodge dealers are not selling a lot of cars. I live in an area with a massive illegal alien population, and banks will finance an illegal even with no drivers license, verifiable income, or credit history if they have enough money down. Every one of these sales is going to be a default within the year, but the banks keep financing them. In many cases they'll never find the vehicle, which is one reason the interest rates here are as high as 20%. But the dealers are rolling cars, that's all that matters!
