Deep dives

The Evolving Car Buying Landscape

The recent shift in the car buying market stems from pandemic-related supply chain disruptions, which previously caused car values to rise sharply. Now, the market is beginning to stabilize as inventories increase, leading to improved conditions for consumers. Previously, conditions such as low inventory and high demand created a scenario where cars appreciated rather than depreciated. With a current inventory of about 2.8 to 2.9 million vehicles, buyers now have more options and are starting to see price cuts across various automaker brands.
