“I think they now realize they are going to lose significant power next November”

Can this country make it to next November?

*not sarcasm*

Democrats will blame COVID-19 and say that if Trump had addressed it correctly in the beginning, we would'nt be here.

“Transitory” for Chomo Joe

“Unexpectedly “ for Obama the Magnificent.

Chinese EV's (think way cheaper) coming our way.

Probably even safer than the Wuhan flu (less than 1% of the vehicles catch on fire).

HEY I have an idea ! Lets open chip factories here in the United states to supply our own needs and sell the excess to other markets?....Oh yeah....our own federal government legislated monetary incentives during the 70’s and 80’s to move manufacturing and technology offshore to benefit the companies that lobbied for the plan....I have seen the enemy and it is our own government....23-25 MILLION employed by state and local governments...they are the beast .

And yet, dealerships will find some way to explain why trade-in values remain so low.

You are right! I was considering trading in my car last week for a new model. The salesman offered me $1800 below the KBB 'median' trade-in value for my car. I asked him why so low. His answer was the the dealership does not use KBB values. I told him that I do - and I then walked. A day later he called me telling me he "found" another $1000 for me. I told him not to bother me unless he's willing to give me the KBB 'median' trade-in value for my car.

The universal car salesman motto is: "There's a sucker born every minute"!

As I like to say, Roosevelt turned what should have been a 3-4 year bad recession into a decade-long Great Depression. Brilliant! Yay, Collectivism!

Talked with a friend on the east coast last night who says nobody’s selling cars out there because they can’t get supplies which are made in China.

I think they now realize they are going to lose significant power next November.

Then watch for calls to "Reach across the aisle" like they did when they were politically slaughtered during Clinton's term.

I was really happy selling to Carvana.
I didn’t even bother with any dealer quotes, why let them hold my car hostage for an hour and then lowball me.

Yep, the manufacturers are building the "bread and butter" models (like the Ford F-series trucks) to keep the production lines running - but they don't have the microchips and printed circuit parts needed to complete them. Large numbers of incomplete vehicles are being stored in various locations, waiting on the needed parts to complete.

We'll probably see a glut of year-old (or more), unsold vehicles on the market once they manage to scrounge enough parts to make them ready for sale. Reminds me of a different spin on the Obama years; just wait and see how long it takes Joe tries to revisit Cash for Clunkers.

Lots of aftermarket engine and drivetrain parts are either not being made in Asia due to Covid, or are stuck in freight containers yet to be unloaded at west coast ports, so people are currently stressing over getting repair parts for the cars they're trying to keep running.

‘how accurate is the Bureau of Labor Statistics’, or
is this a true number (?), or is the rate minimized so as to not notify the public of a crisis ? <<<

Do you really have to ask?...lol...The Marxists are in charge! They may have stolen an election..but no way would they ever try to “fix” the Bureau of Labor Statistics’...../s

Traded for a new RAM 2500 in late February.

The new one was priced at dealer invoice.

They paid me $3500 for my 265xxx miles, 19yo, rusted out farm truck.

I felt pretty good about the deal.
