  • 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.

Volkswagen & Audi JACKED UP Prices, Now THIS Happened | Episode 963
Q: Why does Toyota seem to always play hardball with their prices?
Toyota matches inventory levels to demand levels, leading to less pressure on dealers to negotiate discounts because their supply usually doesn't outpace demand.
Volkswagen & Audi JACKED UP Prices, Now THIS Happened | Episode 963
Q: When looking for a new car, several manufacturers had really good interest rates, but unwilling to negotiate the out-the-door price. Is this the new norm?
Typically, the special interest rate is underwritten by the manufacturer and should not affect the ability to negotiate the vehicle price, unless it's structured as either-or incentives.
Volkswagen & Audi JACKED UP Prices, Now THIS Happened | Episode 963
Q: Is it better to buy a new car now with Black Friday pricing or wait until the end of December for end of year savings?
If you find the vehicle that you like and it's at an acceptable price, go ahead and buy it now rather than timing the market, as most people miss the bottom.
CarMax and FORD SHOCK the Auto Industry | Episode 960
Q: Do you think car prices and pickup truck prices will be discounted?
Yes, we anticipate seeing discounting due to increased inventory and decreased customer demand.
CarMax and FORD SHOCK the Auto Industry | Episode 960
Q: Is it true that vehicles that are not sold will be recycled instead of giving them a heavy discount?
Once a vehicle is shipped to a dealership, it is the dealer's responsibility to sell it, and they may sell unsold new cars as used cars at auctions.
