New vehicle supply has been increasing since May of this year and we’re now seeing over 1.5 million units on the ground, nationally. With the increase in supply, the prices that buying dealerships are willing to pay has dropped significantly.
This is another strong indication that prices for dealer-to-dealer new car trades will continue to fall as supply rises.
