  • So annoying

    The amount of times Zach says “ just to remind you CarEdge bla bla bla” throughout the podcast is so annoying.

    There’s no need to advertise their company every 5 minutes.

    It has put me off listening.

    I reside in Australia but I still enjoy listening to this podcast about USA car market conditions. Often what happens economically in the USA flows down to Australia. It is refreshing to hear motivated hosts talking about a their passionate topic. I would rate higher than 5 stars if I could. Keep up the great work gents

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mazda Just DID THE UNTHINKABLE | Episode 1127
Q: With 0% financing advertised on many models, how does that impact customer decisions and dealer strategy?
0% financing can attract attention and generate traffic, but customers often discover it isn't an apples-to-apples deal once fees, term lengths, and model-specific exceptions are accounted for; dealers balance this by using a mix of rebates and 0% offers, and transparency helps customers understand the true out-the-door price, which can differentiate a dealer when explained clearly.
Mazda Just DID THE UNTHINKABLE | Episode 1127
Q: What do you attribute Mazda's national sales declines to, given the recent data?
The declines seem nuanced: while incentives helped in the prior year, the effectiveness varies by region, and competition, inventory levels, and consumer sensitivity to monthly payments continue to influence demand; the dealers that aggressively move inventory with strong incentives in their region are seeing better performance, suggesting regional differences rather than a uniform national trend.
YOUR Car Questions Answered LIVE | Q&A With a Former Car Dealer | Episode 1116
Q: How can a consumer guard against dealer manipulation of credit score data or tier bumps?
Consumers should ask to pull all three credit bureaus, seek pre-approval from a bank or credit union, and verify the exact scores used by the lender; understanding tier bumps and negotiating with full knowledge helps prevent unfavorable rate jumps.
YOUR Car Questions Answered LIVE | Q&A With a Former Car Dealer | Episode 1116
Q: What is the difference between auto FICO and general FICO scores, and why does it matter for car loans?
Auto FICO focuses on past auto credit behavior, so it can differ significantly from your overall FICO score; this matters because lenders base loan terms on the auto score, affecting your eligibility and the interest rate.
YOUR Car Questions Answered LIVE | Q&A With a Former Car Dealer | Episode 1116
Q: Why does the dealer check your credit score along with the lender?
The dealer checks your credit to gauge your credit background, estimate what rates you might qualify for, and determine which financing path (and potential subvented or special rates) could be available, so they can present accurate payment quotes and tailor the loan terms.
