Description
Right now there are 3 million brand new cars sitting unsold on dealer lots across America. Some have been there for over a year. And the auto industry has a very specific plan for what happens next — and none of it is good for you.
In this video we break down the full story: how manufacturers overbuilt after COVID, why buyers are walking away from $50,000 cars, what physically happens to vehicles that sit for 300+ days, and the dirty escape valves the industry uses to quietly make the problem disappear — while making sure you absorb the cost.
We're pulling real inventory data from CarEdge — including models sitting at 280, 373, even 548 days of supply — and connecting it directly to what you're experiencing at the dealership today.
