In the Tampa Bay area, just casually looking at dealership lots, anecdotally it’s a mixed bag. Off of memory, a Cadillac dealership looked almost completely full as far as the exterior lot, the Jaguar dealership across the street looked pretty picked over with almost nothing.
There is a definite vibe on the housing market as well that things might be normalizing/nosing over and the insanity is ending/slowing.
I guess we will see what happens going forward. In the meantime in my opinion it is time to stay put with cars/houses (if possible) outside of a few small opportunities.

I feel like some dealers are playing games with their main lot vs storage lots to create anxiety. Just to be very clear, I’m not in a conspiracy theory camp that the shortages are made up, but some dealerships are making it look like they have a lot less than what they do to coerce some customers into less desirable cars and to pump up sell prices on other cars because they had to do a customer a giant favor and locate and trade their first born for the car that the customer wanted.

Credit is getting tighter as defaults and short sales increase.
Local toyota dealer just bought my friends 2009 RAV 4 with 115k miles for 7k. Beat Vroom/Carvana by 2k.

The truth is, no buble gonna burst until money printing machine stops. And there is no stopping in sight, so hold tight. It is going to be quite a ride.

Prices may have peaked but doesn’t look like they are dropping significantly any time soon. Used car buyers turn to even older vehicles to save a buck amid rising prices - Roadshow

It is insane. I’ve been kicking the can down the road since returning my Tundra last January because it wasn’t a necessity to replace. Once the pandemic hit it further strengthened that position since I work from home and there was nowhere to go. Now it’s becoming necessary to have a car and I am too cheap to pull the trigger. OUCH!

The bubble always bursts WAY before they stop printing money. Have you seen to 100 trillion dollar note from Zimbabwe?

Ya, but Zimbabwe had inflation. We, most certainly, absolutely, do not. It’s only transitory.

Fair. If we transition to hyper inflation, than all talk of bublles will be moot.
