      I don't think the manufacturers will ever learn that lesson. Transportation will just keep getting more expensive until the workforce becomes too poor and inexperienced to afford to be motorists. Then the rich people will buy servant robots from the car companies, instead of paying workers enough to live and drive.

      The move towards complexity has been a long slow march, well underway since way before climate politics became the latest whipping bill.
      In fact we were complaining about how computerized and complex automobiles had become, how they were nearly impossible to repair yourself, and how they were less durable what with the explosion of cheap plastic parts everywhere.. -literally over twenty years ago. .
      There are two long-term drivers of this long running trend:
      1) competition: keeping up with latest features, bells and whistles and max power/performance, and the technology and complexity that comes along with that.
      2) managed product lifecycle: manufacturers intentionally designing to shorter expected product lifecycle, increasing the frequency of recurring new sales. This is done by cheapening up many parts, and a million other ways to limit the time vehicles remain economically viable to own.
      I can tell you the automakers are thrilled that everyone ridiculously believes 'climate politics' to be the villain , when in reality the villain is the manufacturers themselves...

      It's had to be a slow march becausethe globalists don't want to raise too much awareness as they're vilating our natural rights and removing our sovereignty.
      Climate change is the argument they're using to do it and most of the big corporations have banded together with governments to bring it about. The US is the only bastion of freedom thats able to stop them and bring about their demise and most people on the left are too dum and hateful to recognize how these globalists are lying to them, and just gobble up soundbites as the truth, without doing due diligence and vetting the news clip. Most people are lazy and apathetic when it comes to politics.
      The World Economic Forum (WEF) and the UN, amongst other organizations, have had public statements released regarding these plans for years and Bill Gates is one of the major billionaire contributors helping to reduce world populations. He even has arrest warrants out for him in foreign nations because of it.
      There's a reason Russia has warships off of our coast now, in the Carribean. Total world Control is the goal and perpetual war is one of the tools to accomplish this along with mass depopulation; war, famine, disease, pandemics, etc.

    You as a consumer have to remember that the dealer giving you a "discount" on a model year leftover is no bargain.
    The vehicle is one model year older and has depreciated in value, even though it is "brand new".
    So, you have to go beyond the depreciation to get a good price.

    Here is a question. What if a car manufacturer delivered a car to a buyer direct from the factory. The car company would only have locations where you can pick up your car but they do not have any unsold cars on the lot. How much would that reduce the price of the car. They could design the car such that any independent car repair shop could fix it with spare parts available online. Could that reduce the price of a care 30%, 40% etc. Think of all the cost to operate a dealership that would be eliminated (those costs get passed on to the buyer). The pick up location could also have test drive cars so customer could drive and look at car before placing online order. Could that be a game changer business model for buying a car.

      In an ideal world, yes. But in the real world, no. Such as if you’re a business owner & operating for 50 yrs then you know what works best for you, no one should tell you how to run your business. Car manufacturers has their business model which works best for them, they constantly try to juggle profits, outputs, demands, competition, cost, new trends, laws and supply chain issues. Their #1 goal is to sell, to look good on Wall st, keeping their stock holders happy first. They have a much larger picture than what we see.

Then the sales manager came over and told me that it would cost me 51,5k out the door. Mind you, this Jeep was produced 12 22 and had been sitting on the lot and getting lot rot all this time. That's almost a year and a 1/2 . they could care less about selling this Jeep at a discounted price. A couple of $1000 off of a year and a 1/2 old Jeep is not a deal. funny thing, there were 2 people on this massive lot at 1:30 Saturday afternoon. My wife and myself, nobody else in sight.

Infiniti has the large qx80 or the Nissan Armada are the same vehicle as the Infiniti. For incentives the big 3 have the best but the quality is the worst. Steam away from Yukon or Escalade due to quality issues and the Stellantis has the Dodge Durango but they are not well made. The Jeep Wagoneer is an option but a bit pricey too and quality is not as good as the Lexus. For something a slight smaller maybe have a look at the Acura MDX as it’s built better tha. Most of these other vehicles.

Totally bypassing the franchise dealerships altogether and their needs for profiteering. If it needs service you just take it to an authorized service garage.

    When a new car goes to an auto graveyard, is it sent there by a dealer or the factory? If a model is not selling, why keep building them, why not shut the factory down until sales catch up?

    • @johnfriend862
      @johnfriend862 Před měsícem +2

      Once it hits the dealers lot the factory is shed of it. It belongs to the dealer, who pays for it by financing it with their floorplanning bank. Every month the dealer has to pay the interest on all of those vehicles. The factory meanwhile just keeps cranking out more vehicles, because if they stop production the unions will go crazy that their workers aren't getting paid. The manufacturer will give some incentives when lots get overfilled, as they are now, but dealers are in a bind. These vehicles that have been sitting for months or even years have cost them a fortune in flooring interest, which right now is between 7% and 10%. Think about that, a $90,000 truck that costs a dealer $80,000, after sitting for 6 months has cost the dealer $4,000 in interest. If they dump it at cost they're still losing money. The dealers around me just aren't cutting deals at all, a $95,000 truck you can get $3,000 off. If you have a trade they'll offer you $15,000 (or more) under what they'll sell it for, because they're so strapped for cash for their interest payments. Plus they are selling cars here, nobody other than the Dodge dealers are not selling a lot of cars. I live in an area with a massive illegal alien population, and banks will finance an illegal even with no drivers license, verifiable income, or credit history if they have enough money down. Every one of these sales is going to be a default within the year, but the banks keep financing them. In many cases they'll never find the vehicle, which is one reason the interest rates here are as high as 20%. But the dealers are rolling cars, that's all that matters!

  • @Michael_Livingstone
    @Michael_Livingstone Před měsícem +2

    Would dealers like it if all customers just ordered the vehicle, arranged financing and waited for it to arrive, take possession and off they go? That’s what I do for all of my vehicles but I suspect the public wants to buy off the lot right away and not wait so they have to maintain an inventory.

    I believe you should have directly said the ONE thing that your long series of what happens to cars entail: that carmakers will do damn near ANYTHING rather than lower their prices for their primary market (ie US). That they simply will not ever allow American consumers to think that if vehicles don’t sell at the high prices that they will truly substantially lower the prices. They’d rather do all those ten other things before they truly lower their prices for American people. They’ll sell the cars dirt cheap to non-Americans; they’ll scrap them, before they’ll give Americans a break. Pharmaceutical companies are the exact same way. Americans need to stop waiting for deals the carmakers will never give us. At least unless we move overseas.
