As home prices plateau, and even fall, what will the used car economy see? I see random cars 2014 370Z 32k. That’s stupid. Is it a function of inflation now that cars are that much? Is it based on supply? What’s the deal?

Supply/demand. New cars got stuck waiting for chips and boards so people bought more used cars. Used car prices were already high-ish because cash for clunkers set a floor for true crap, but somewhat functional vehicles. Plus more people moving out of cities need more cars.

There are still significant shortages. I regularly have to approve short run substitutions and workarounds, primarily in electronic parts. 1 year lead times are still common with companies who have contracts with big manufacturers and little guys like me have to fight over scraps. Deutsch is still very backed up as is TE connectivity, Gates, ect.

once production catches up, which it will eventually, the bottom will start falling out of the used car market. last seller stuck with it is going to have to eat the drop in price.

I told my wife that was a probable outcome in buying a home. At least we get to do the same in adding some cool aftermarket parts, tune it, and go WOT when we can. |
