As 1 Million New Car Buyers Vanish From U.S. Economy, a New Car Increasingly Becomes a Distant Dream

Weird. I’ve seen a noticeable amount of temporary tags near me. Like every 8th car

Do leases count? Could be leasing, or maybe got some 84 month loan.

It’s because Memorial Day was last week and there’s typically shitloads of dealer special offers around that time

There tends to be waves of new car buyers. Which means that when that waves cars start to fail on them in how ever so many years they buy in another wave.

There's a wave every 3 and 5 years near me. Its very noticeable. Outside of that you basically see zero new cars on the road.

I wonder if there were a bunch of Honda hybrids. I had a headgasket leak and I had to sell before it showed up on the onboard computer

New car sales have been on a declining path since around Y2K.

Have you considered you might live near rich people? Also anecdotes aren’t data.

Where are we gonna live, then?!
