IT'S STARTED! Here's How the Car Market CRASH of 2025 UNFOLDS

There is no doubt that the car market crash of 2025 is underway. How hard and how quick it crashes is still up for debate though.

In this video I talk through how the car market crash of 2025 has started by showcasing the specific stats, facts and figures that prove that while also answering the question: "What does a modern day crash actually look like in the auto industry??" And: "What are some indicators that you’ll begin to see from your local dealerships heading toward bankruptcy?"

Talking points include:
- Rams takings 460 days to sell
- Tundra over 220 days
- Tacomas 150
- Ford Broncos (non-Raptor trims) are sitting 180-200 days. Raptor trims 80-100 days.
- People are tapped out…
- National Average Negative Equity is $7200
- National average Credit Crd debt for an individual is $7236… increases each qtr
- Inflated MSRPs, combined with inflated interest rates, inflated inventory levels, and inflated insurance rates… doesn’t bode well for auto sales. People are saying No!
- MSRPs have risen 42% across the board… some manufacturers seeing raises of over 50% (like Jeep)
- Stellantis stock down over 50% since start of year
- Stellantis ceo resigned just before giving a clean warning of what the car market is going up to be in 2025
- CFO at Nissan resigned
- Nissan announced 9K layoffs worldwide
- $760 average payment for new vehicle 525 for used
- Financial anchors weighing people down
- National average interest rates went down!
- 7% in Nov… NEW / 11% USED
- Insurance premiums are spurring out of control… over doubled in the last 2.5 years…
- Every stat is screaming a warning of what’s ahead…
- Interest rates are at 7% for new… 11.1% for used
- Auto industry strikes are continuing at production line workers are being laid off
- Stellantis is closing production plants and laying off 1000s of employees.
- Nissan cutting 9000 jobs globally
- Ford cutting over 4000 jobs globally
- Volkswagen cutting 3000+ people this year… they’ve vowed to cut over 35K jobs by 2030.
- Stellantis was going to cut over 1100 workers from their Toledo south assembly plant (where the Jeep wrangler is made)… but just reeled it back to 125 employees.
- ALSO Impacting automotive parts production too..
- Michelins tire company to cut 1250 or more people…
- Pell City auto parts plant in AL to cut 140 employees…
- Automotive production layoffs in Detroit are leading the charge in Michigan’s quickly rising unemployment rate.
- Dealers are becoming increasingly frustrated… MSRPs have risen tremendously over last 5 years. They can sell inventory.
- Shareholders are becoming increasingly frustrated… no sales and misleading inventory vs sales reports.
- On top of all that… quality have gone down!
- BMW, Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen are beginning to crumble too. Strikes… huge hits to their profit margins.
- People are no longer making car payments… first thing to go amongst all major bills is auto payments 23% increase
- Which is why we’re seeing 1/5 auto loans get denied this last quarter; that’s going to get worse.
- Wholesale sales dropped 18% over last quarter which is unprecedented. That will ripple to the retail market in the coming months…
- Profit margins on vehicles have gotten out of hand… the price gap between MSRP and invoice has grown.
- EV sales have come to a screeching halt… outside of Tesla. Rivian actually had the WORST performance stock this year. 55% loss in share price.
- Followed by another EV company… Lucid with a 48% loss.
- Mach E mustangs and F150 Lightnings are piling up unsold. Can’t even incentivize them enough to move the metal.
- Inventory levels nearing 3M in the US. Highest growth rate emerge ever seen. 120% increase since 2023.
- GM knows how to navigate times like this… nothing new. They actually saw the highest stock increase over 2024… 55% gain.
- Good news is with very few exceptions, you find any markups right now. Unless the dealer is simply ignorant.
- Toyota TRD Pro trims, Trailhunters, Ram TRXs, Ford F150 Raptors are discounted… G63 AMGs are MSRP and used examples are well below now. Civic Type Rs.
- What does a crash in the auto industry actually look like??
- It isn’t what people dream of… giving cars away. A crash is a dealership cutting losses before they’re forced to close. That generally means 10-20% below invoice.
- The dealers that refuse to do that will go belly up and have to turn back in their vehicles to the manufacturer.
- Greed will literally be the death of many dealerships in 2025.
- I don’t think Government bailouts aren’t coming so easily this time around. And I hope they don’t. Let dealers reap what they sow.

Hey guys, sorry for the duplicate clip at the end of the video!

[darrelldoty]

No bailout!!! They way they have been treating the consumers. They don’t deserve it. This is all pure greed! NO BAILOUTS!

[dougpeters]

If you are paying $100, 000 for a truck, you are part of the problem

[ethans]

When I was a kid $100, 000 was SUPERCAR PRICES 😭

[RobertNelson-rfqr]

The CEO of Ford made 26 million dollars in total compensation. Don’t blame unionized workers for high prices, blame management.

[jacobwilliams]

DO NOT bail them out! Let the crash happen, let the cars tank in price so the consumer can get affordable cars.Let the customers win for once!!!

[dagrin]

The fact that we are saying "remember when a truck was only $50K?" is pure insanity.

[Avrageoutdoorguy]

There is no truck on any car lot worth 100k no freaking way

[BartholomewSmutz]

It's funny how no matter how overstocked the car supply is prices never seem to drop.

[linkbelt]

I do not want one dime of our tax dollars to be used for a bail out for these clowns!

[janisvaskevics]

Guys should man up and not buy a new car for a year or two and let the manufacturers feel the crap hitting the fan. Buying a pickup for 100k ir a first sign of brain damage.

[CitizensRevolution]

They raised prices so much that the "discount" they're giving isn't really a discount!

[korbit]

Buying used is ALWAYS a better option. You lose 25% when you drive a new car off the lot. I'm 70 and have never bought a new car or truck my entire life.

[OhWell]

I'm driving a 2003 Toyota Camry, its drivers side door is busted in, the engine oil leaks, one break light is literally taped on. In the past 19 years that I've been driving it into the ground, I never once asked for a bailout. And I've had to live out of it at times. When the market crashes, they should expect the same tough love we've all come to expect.

[pedaugherty]

No Bail Out. We did that once before and all the auto industry did was give bonuses to their top execs.

[crawfordtoups]

I make 150k a year and I'm not buying shit! Especially for a depreciating asset

[SirBumRush]

Remember everyone, you got the power to show them your opinion by simply not buying. If they have 10 people willing to buy a truck at 100k per day then they will continue to sell at the price.

[joel]

800.00 doc fees, $200 floor mats, $300 paint treatments. Then you get to have three or four recalls a year. The mafia is more honest than the average car dealer. By the way, it's a great video!

[mrs.wookie]

100k is not far off from what I financed my house for in 2015 for

[derekmorin]

Keeping my 23 and 12 year old cars on the road. No car payment in almost 10 years.
