Considering news from ATL fed this morning, we might see 0% everywhere soon.
Are the low inventory issues from 2022 over with?
- Thread starter Snagglefoot
- Start date
Toyota flooded market with stock to get ahead of tariffs. Really good time for inventory however rates are still higher.
The prices have not rolled back though. The surcharges definitely have.

Inventory issues are over with but there are too many overpriced options and very little in the way of lower trims available .
Used market is still pretty terrible

Is this what you are referring to?
Supply is short for a few years and new car prices still make certain used cars quite appealing. I would not look back . Just buy car as needed.

I haven't heard "supply chain issues" excuses in a while.
2022we still had lots of rations from the oil companies.
Very frustrating when demand was let's say 10k gallons a month but we could barely get 5k, or some products, 0.

My only issue with used cars now is how people don’t take care of them very well anymore. It’s tough out there to find a good used one.
Daughter just bought a new Elantra. Got about $2,300 off MSRP. 2.9% financing. Considering inflation that is almost free money.
Decent newer used cars were about the same price. And fortunately she was able to get a base mode without all the junk.

Used cars feel like they still cost more than they did and there's no shortage on the lots here. We still bought one. 2020 Equinox LS, good CarFax. one owner, 38k, extremely clean. That's not rust on the A-arm it's dust. The Lund deflector indicates the age of the previous owner.I wanted a 4 door Wrangler, she wanted better gas mileage. We compromised and got this.

I recognise that engine, btw running 10W-30 synthetic in mine....
If you want a truck or SUV, they are most likely overstocked. Stellantis and Nissan will be overstocked.
If you want a Trax / Corolla / Civic type of vehicle, they are still in short supply.
I also wonder if appliances are in short supply.

Wife and I noticed this too.
The car we bought in Nov 2024 (2025 model year) Lot was loaded with cars, this is a big deal I think here too.
Now there is nothing but pickups left. No kidding, the difference is startling.
Makes you wonder if Ford made a bad choice to stop building cars.
Well, when I mention cars I mean SUVs which Americans love. Granted I dont know much about Ford, except they struggle. I never owned one, most likely never will only because I always found a different brand that offered what I wanted out of an SUV more than Ford did. For larger SUVs I am and most likely always will be a GM person. No particular reason why except I never had a major problem with a GM power plant. The hardware might fall apart but the drivetrain always was reliable.

Then interest rates for used being so much higher than new, just ruins the idea of even looking at used. We bought my wife’s 24 for 2.9%, mean while they had the same car with 10k miles on it at a discount, but by the time interest was figured in, it was cheaper to buy new.
Is there really any doubt in your mind?
