Is that what our current market is saying? Sure seems to me like a lack of inventory might be increasing sales. I honestly think I could put a 2019 hundred thousand mile pink Silverado with the rockers rusted out on the lot for $80,000 and still sell it.Inventory has always been king.
You can't sell what you don't have and with every dealership being on all the classifieds sites, if you have it they will find you.
Even if your target market is tire kickers, you still need tires to kick.
Agreed Bill. This seems to be working out alright!!!Is that what our current market is saying? Sure seems to me like a lack of inventory might be increasing sales.

# Summary Dealers debate whether the current automotive market prioritizes inventory acquisition over aggressive sales efforts. The consensus suggests that tight inventory levels are actually driving sales, with dealers noting that customers actively seek out available vehicles online, and some claim they could sell poorly conditioned cars at inflated prices simply due to supply scarcity.
