Why Scummy Dealers Refuse To Face Reality: Auto Market Crumbles

The automotive industry is spiraling into crisis, and the signs are everywhere! Dealerships are hoarding inventory—some vehicles have been sitting on lots for 800+ days, yet instead of offering discounts, they’re adding outrageous market adjustments (aka markups). These shady dealership practices are driving customers away while their cars collect dust.

But the problem goes far beyond dealerships. The entire auto market is in trouble:
• Massive layoffs are hitting the automotive and related industries.
• Auto loan defaults and repossessions are at record levels, signaling a financial collapse in the sector.
• Dealerships continue to operate in denial, refusing to adjust prices despite the growing crisis.

In this video, I take you directly to the lots, exposing the truth behind dealership greed and uncovering how this impacts car buyers, manufacturers, and the economy at large.

Too expensive, too complicated to repair, too stupid. Let em sit.

I buy three new pick up trucks for my business every five years. My dealership wanted $330, 000! They had $300.00 of “special” air in the tires and other stupid, absolutely useless crap. Upset at this point, I asked the salesman if he wanted to get serious and sell three trucks or if he wanted to keep bullshitting me. He said he would sell them to the next guy that walked in.
The three white Dodge pick ups that I wanted are still sitting on his lot. That was eight months ago. They must’ve run out of stupid people.
I take perfect care of my vehicles. In fact, I would call it exceptional care. I think I’ll just run these another five years and stick the $330, 000 in the market, or my business.

Crazy. Wouldn’t pay anywhere near MSRP for a car that’s been sitting around outside for 3 years. That’s a used car now!

I wonder, does this dealer throws birthday parties for these vehicles?

[johncifra]

I often said that there would be a breaking point with new vehicle prices and these prices make it impossible for the average person to buy. The auto industry has priced itself out of business.

[LongTimeTTFan]

Allow the dealerships to be out of business.

[betitos]

The markups and prices will go as high as stupidity allows it 🤣🤣🤣

I wanted to buy an SUV this year. I decided to wait 2 to 4 years to see how many dealers will go broke.

[kevinbtube]

I cannot fathom paying these prices. The pandemic has passed. The supply chain is back. The greed tax is still in full swing.

[HunterDVincent]

Let them fall. I went and tried to score a deal on a F150 yesterday. They didn't even wanna try to sell it to me. They had it marked down 12k for hail damage but im still not gonna pay 49k for a fuckin truck WITH hail damage.

[AJ-HawksToxicFinger]

Feels almost like auto makers are purposely running the industry into the ground.

[Kevin-mkjo]

Looks like you went to a car museum, 😂 not a dealership fixing to make sales.

[Masatao]

Stealerships needs to go bankrupt and we need to start buying it from the factory.

[terrelldubose]

These dealerships are playing chicken with the consumers

[JensSchraeder]

I love how they put so much expensive technology in these vehicles that nobody wanted or asked for.

[justice]

It's been so long, I don't even want one anymore.

[raymond_sycamore]

It's simple: we don't have the money! I am driving a 23 year old Pontiac Vibe right now just to afford to eat!

[rj-mefh]

First rule of holes is if you are in one stop digging. Someone should send them a copy of that rule...

[slowtrip]

They use to say the second it leaves the lot it loses its value, well now they are gonna be stuck with these vehicles until they rust.

[constpegasus]

Prices are out of control. People are finally waking up to this.
