    I recently went to a Kia Stealership and looked at a 2021 Nissan Maxima with 63K miles on the odometer. The price was advertised for $18K, so I asked for the OTD price after giving them my zip code. They came back with an OTD price of $24,737 with $4,495 in added BS accessories like tinted glass, door edge guard, etched window glass, and some anti-theft device. I told them the vehicle had been on their lot for over 5 months, according to Car Gurus, and they were still trying to take advantage of customers. I laughed in their face and told them to send it to auction. They have called me every day since and have lowered the price to $21,544 OTD, at which point I told them to go pound sand. I truly hope all the dealerships like this one go bankrupt for their dishonest sales practice.

      Good story, but that is not what is going to happen. Like not at all. Allocations and innovation in floor planning will change the landscape of these packed dealerships somewhat. Production will trend down in coming years. Dealerships will continue to survive by expanding used vehicle offerings and taking advantage of manufacturers discounts and finance incentives. The smartest dealers will find ways to gain incremental allocations for those quicker selling value price-point cars. Which manufacturers will increase production on. They’re already starting now.

      Brain rot. Too many people actually believe the hype of Toyota trucks being million mile trucks. I bet they didn't even check the frame for rust. For all they know, the owner spent half the year in the rust belt and the frame has huge holes in it, and the engine is burning a ton of oil. If they're lucky, the engine has had a terrible oil leak and the oil was enough to save the frame from terminal rust rot.

    The dents on the TRD is due to the wife parking on the right side of that car in the garage, and not giving an sh*t about her husband's car. She opened their drivers doors to go in/out, and backseat driver side to get stuff out of it. How do I know this...

If the things going across the lane are cars that have cars with 100k and damaged it focuses on small used and buy here pay here lots.

    I have friends who are sales managers or GM's at franchise dealerships. The owners are old-school dinosaurs and feel that selling a vehicle for a loss at the dealership comes with liability. They would rather sell it at auction and feel they've washed their hands of it. They also believe that it affects their gross average, and they look at vehicles in two separate buckets wholesale and retail. Their ego gets bruised if the gross on the retail side gets skewed. They would rather take a wholesale hit and know that most dealers do from time to time. It's really a game of egos. The customer doesn't realize that the dealer overpaid for the trade to get the deal done and already packed that amount into the new vehicle. Ego's are HUGE in the car business and often get in the way of sound decision-making. It seems like 2020-2023 gave them permanent brain damage.

They switched from using US-built rear axles to importing poorly made axles from Thailand that howl terribly at highway speeds for about half of owners. The 3.5L has had a variety of tuning issues, high pressure fuel pump failures at low mileage, smoking and stumbling when climbing inclines that the 4.0L V6 had zero issue with, oil leaks, coolant leaks, stalling when taking off from a stop, grenading for unknown reasons at 100k miles, etc. The 6sp auto has had all kinds of issues as well.

      I guarantee some of these bidders get burned severely by blindly buying those high mileage cars because "iT's A tOyOtA iT's JuSt BrOkEn In!" If you're bidding on a 10+ year old Toyota pickup and you don't get down and look under the truck to make sure there's still a frame there, it's only a matter of time before you lose your a** on one. And some of those newer Mazda's require so many hours of labor to get to major components that you are going to burn yourself on labor and part cost (like you correctly point out). Those CX-5's have issues like turbo coolant leaks that take an insane amount of labor just to get to the problem.

    I ended up closing when the pandemic started because I didn't have much capital, but I was planning to put up a huge sign that said all cars under $5000
    Your ways are the closest ive seen to mine, no other dealers I was aware of wanted to sell cars in that price range.
    I wish I had stuck it out But I was worried about buying cars after the pandemic when they jumped up to What I was selling them for at auction
    I had no problemsellingit just had become hard to replace them..

What I assume happened was someone bought it and this dealership gives you five days to return it. Whoever put the car back on the lot didnt clean the hair out. Disgusting when your paying full price new. Just want people to know when you buy a new car they will pull out the one with the most miles or one they use for test drives a lot, don't buy that one.
