When Will New & Used Car Prices Come Down? | CarDealershipGuy

A car market insider sees better deals ahead for new cars, but likely not for used cars....
The country experienced a car market bubble after COVID hit -- propelled by inventory shortages from disrupted supply chains & the unprecedented stimulus sent to businesses & households.
Now here in 2023, folks are beginning to wonder if we're in for a car market crash. Used car prices which nearly doubled post-COVID, fell throughout all of last year -- though they've started turning up again in recent months.
Also, lax lending standards in extending auto loans during the recent boom are coming back to bite lenders -- as vehicle affordability hits an all-time low, 60-day delinquencies on auto loans are the highest they've been in more than a decade.
Where is the auto market headed from here?
Will patient buyers for new cars and used cars be rewarded with better values in 2023?
To find out, we're fortunate to welcome CarDealershipGuy to the program. He started out as a salesperson on a used car lot and now is owner & CEO of a car dealership group. Iin order to speak freely without industry retribution, actively shares insider updates on the auto industry anonymously on his highly popular social media accounts.

Just wait until EV's head to the used car market needing $5k to $20k for a battery.

[@janmaaso]

Right on!

[@JA-zh5xi]

Exactly - not enough people are talking about how these cars are worthless after 8-10 years. Who the heck would buy one of these with over 100k miles or 7-8 years of the battery draining whether the car is used or not.

[@dmc7173]

Indeed... An 8 to 10 year old ev is a paperweight or an undetonated landmine... The battery totals the car twice over

I usually buy a slightly wrecked car with a salvage title and repair it. Over fifty years of car ownership this has saved me a lot of money. The cheapest car I ever bought was a '56 Chevy one ton panel truck sitting in a field with four flat tires that I bought for $50. I charged the batter, put air in the tires, and drove it as my work truck for three years. I then sold it for $350, a 700% increase. Did I report that capital gain on my income tax? No, I did not.

I'm looking for small hybrid SUVs in the Mid to hi 30"s, Those are NOT luxury vehicles compared to a $60-80k ford pickup. When you talk about this, subject, you need to either raise the cutoff towards 40K or talk about the 3 levels - cheap beaters - middle class transportation , and luxury vehicles. Most of us don't care about an $80K vehicle for $70K. We want info on the $20-40K market where normal middle class buy.

I'm doing my part. Been driving a 2004 Subaru rebuilt motor I paid $2,500 for. Cash. Got it 4 years ago. Have a very reliable mechanic and I promise I save so much not having a car payment I truly cannot figure out why do many get loans for cars. Do you want to be poor and indebted to a bank more? Makes no sense. But never has to me. I'm 51 and got a car loan at 18 and that was the last one I ever got. No credit cards. Just have more $$$ to invest and save. But I don't work 40 hours a week anymore. I'm done with the rat race. Get so much time with kids and grandkids and for myself. I'll never work 40 hours a week for rest of life. I call it semi retired. I'll work 15 to 20 hours a week until too old to work but never 40 or 50 anymore.

[@moxievintage1390]

I bought one brand new car in 1996 and learned my lesson! From then on, I buy only cars with low mileage, one owner and 3-5 years old! When I hear people have $1,000 car payments, I cringe. I DO NOT GET IT. Other than the idea they think they look cool or something, it simply makes ZERO financial sense. I retired at 52, and learning from mistakes is one reason I was able to do so! Worked 2 jobs, single mom, no assistance, got an education to drive my salary up, have zero debt! MY ONLY FINANCIAL concern, is that the house and property I was set to buy for $300/400K, right as the pandemic hit, is now priced at $800K. There goes my dream--a dog rescue! As a singular person, I'd have to liquidate too much of my retirement to be comfortable, so for now it's $2600 a month rent, waiting for the right moment to buy. The good thing is, while it's a high rent, it's well within suggested percentages. It just feels SO WRONG lol.

[@robertsmuggles6871]

The car industry wants you think of a car as a fashion statement and a 'throwaway' item like a mobile phone. So you change your car more often. But car owners stick to the old mind-set that a car is something you care for like an asset & maybe hand-down to your kids. The problem is cars can last for 20years - long enough for the auto industry to go bust if they carry on producing trendy electric or fancy hybrid cars no one wants.

[@defyingfinance9882]

I disagree about used car inventory in the future though. Like homes, we’re, and how banks don’t have to mark down bonds to market, there is a massive inventory of REPOs and banks can’t sell at the auction for the prices they want. Until these actually sell, they get to claim that full price asset on their balance sheet as inventory. Once they finally have to mark the price of the car down to sell then they will show realized losses and a ton of inventory will be pouring in during the recession.

[@Studeb]

Yeah, we've seen the massive used car lots, with tens of thousands of cars being stored out of cities because releasing them into the market would make prices collapse, it's all artificial.

[@coolrunning2006]

They are just kicking the can. While they wait, it cost them money to store them, and the car deteriorate. They either take some loss now or take massive loss later. Guess which one these genius will pick

[@The_regulators]

Except the local car dealer who also has new inventory does not look for high milage repos, they look for low milage off-lease units so they can sell ESP policies, etc. And those are not around as there was very little leasing during the pandemic as most dealers were trying to maximize profits with "market adjustments" on retail contracts. And those that did lease exercised their Purpase Option price and bought their leases out as it was more cost effective than paying the inflated prices of a new vehicle. The only dealers that are buying your high milage repos are buyer here-pay here dealers who only want to pay 50% wholesale value.

[@Studeb]

@@The_regulators There were tons of people feeling rich from the houses being overvalued who bought new cars during the pandemic, just to drive for fun. Many of these are being repossessed every day, the inventory is exploding behind the scene.

[@jorge1170xyz]

@@coolrunning2006 Thank you. Just like in real estate, everyone is refusing to take their losses now, instead choosing to take bigger losses later.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

What is not considered here is that demand is not consistent. If we have a serious recession and demand tanks, shortages are not shortages anymore. This is the story with real estate currently and why prices are falling even with low inventory.

[@michaeloconnor6683]

There has never been a shortage of housing, there has been a surplus of investors who don't use a single family homes as their primary residency --- that's the problem -- and now they are about to get smoked

[@Mike-fx4nu]

"shortages are not shortages anymore" If you have two on the demand side and one on the supply side, there is a shortage.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

@@Mike-fx4nu obviously. Maybe you had a hard time understanding my point. If 5 on the supply side is considered low, but demand falls to 3 on that side, then 5 is not low supply even if historically it has been an average of 8 as an example. This is why DOM for real estate is blowing up in many metros even with supply 30% lower than pre pandemic.... It's because demand became lower than the "low" supply. Now that low supply has become an oversupply. Supply and demand isn't all about supply, it's supply AND demand.

[@Mike-fx4nu]

@@TreatsOnTheStreets I had an easy time understanding your wrong point. This video is about cars and you're yapping now about houses. No where is supply becoming any oversupply. Supply is down 20% YoY. You proved my point, it's about supply AND demand. Come back when you're done being arrogant.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

@@Mike-fx4nu not being arrogant you just need to look into the future not what has already happened. If all you can do is quote yesterday's news you'll always lose. Demand is going to tank for cars just like it did in the GFC. You know what spiked before they tanked in price back then? Cars. You know what salesmen said back then before prices tanked? "You better buy now before it gets more expensive". The same thing people say today. Were you old enough to buy a car back then? Dealerships would give you their firstborn child along with 0% financing to buy a car. Used cars sat on lots for 90+ days. I know because I worked at a dealership during those years and have seen how economic recessions effect car buying. There's nothing new under the sun. The economy functions in cycles and the same thing has already begun to happen again

[@SMACK1978]

People are also keeping cars longer because they have to finance them WAY longer than they used to.

[@taaaac]

Not really.. it's because they keep buying stuff they can't afford

[@omnimoeish]

@@taaaac Interesting point. The more people pay for their new car the longer it takes to get positive equity which usually means longer time before they will turn around and sell them.

Excellent interview. Super insightful and informative.

[@krenece.]

Ongoing increases in car prices are aided by the banks offering longer loan terms. I copied a part of an article written in 1974 NYT “DETROIT, Aug, 15-Rising automobile prices are leading more buyers to take extended 42 or 48‐month loans to keep their monthly payments down. Scores of banks and major finance companies, including those for the Big Three auto makers, are now offering car loans longer than the usual 36 months.”

[@bc6193]

I am not sure about the new or used markets if the economy goes into a nose dive… so many people are losing the jobs and are over extended because they used their stimi $$$ and no longer can afford those cars anymore. So many are now having their cars confiscated for lack of payment. Personally I think that the car industry is going to be hit hard in the next few years…

This was an interesting discussion, I enjoyed it per usual. I think that people are anticipating higher rates than we likely will see. If you see the turmoil starting in the economy, and a recession likely on the horizon, rates are not going to stay elevated indefinitely. So while yes supply is constrained, less people are going to be able to afford vehicles. And those of us who have been saving on the sidelines waiting this nonsense out, will likely have the upper hand when it comes to larger down payments and likely lower rates. The lower rates are not bullish for the economy, and so I anticipate as things slow down, the fed will indeed cut rates at some point and it will be sooner than many are factoring into their forecast.

[@briannave7326]

Most people could wait a couple year’s or more before buying a car.

[@bruceposch1449]

I can't see the used market getting any better in a few years, with so many EVs being built now. With the high price of battery replacement ( and it is going to go up), we will have millions of seven year old cars with dead batteries, going to the scrap yards....or people will be getting nothing allowed on trade ins for them and the new owner will be paying $30,000 for the labor and new battery to fix it and still have a seven year old car.
