If you’re thinking about buying a car, wait.
Used cars hit the market on a 3 to 4 year lag. Now think about what happened 3 to 4 years ago.
Chip shortage. Empty lots. Automakers couldn’t build enough cars. Used prices went vertical.
That shortage is still baked into today’s used market.
But production came back. Leasing came back. And those cars are now moving toward trade-in and lease-return age.
That means more used inventory in 2027 and 2028.
More cars.
More choice.
More dealers fighting for your money.
If your car still runs, keep it.
Dealers are about to need you more than you need them.
Act like it.
