There’s always talk of a “car market crash” but what does does said crash actually look like? I think it’s 10-20% below invoice on most models. We’re starting to see deals like that. I think Jun, July and Aug will prove to be the BEST months to buy a new vehicle. I talk through the many reasons why in this video. What are your thoughts? Do you agree? BUY NOW! Here’s the BEST time to buy a new car!
- Dealers are in for a rude awakening
- Karma from years of taking advantage of customers and charging markups is about to hit them hard.
- Surge in sales due to tariffs (fading now)
- Pre-tariff fear mongering has already brought out the buyers that were going to buy later this year anyway…
- New car inventory will begin stacking up!
- Used values have seen a spike recently so your trade in will be stronger.
- Except huge discounts and incentivized interest rates!
- Tax season is over, Families are on vacation, before “end of years gimmicky sales hit, 2026 models behind hitting lots.
- Lots of unsold 2024s still on lots!
- Lots of buyers are out of the game due to having large negative equities on their vehicles and banks refuse to lend to them. This means less competition.
- People are hemmed up with other bills and are struggling to make ends meet. They’re keeping their current vehicles on the road longer, not trading in for a new vehicle now.
- Repo rates continue to rise in Q2 2025.
- Most of the inventory available are not subject to tariffs since they arrived before they hit.
- The tariffed vehicles will only lessen demand with their higher price tags. Slowing the market even more.
