Short, this is true,dealers today are not allowed to over stock retail inventory, today ordering stock vehicles its called "turn and earn" quarterly,
Example, dealer sells 2-300 units in one quarter,thats what they earn for following quarter allocation, otherwise over stock sits,after 90days dealer pays interest %1/2% of invoice, then dealers bitch to corporate, they need financial help,big rebates follow,in 2019 Chevrolet had $10-$12k off sticker in the midwest territory,before body style tweak on light duty trucks,since 2020 covid factories shut down,inventory dried up,little to zero rebates,ppl needing new paid sticker period,this is the new norm for now,this strike today spread to 20 other states,GM,GMC maybe ford? Will shit their pants as this strike moves forward,im curious about out sourcing production,will mexico expand more plants,canada?
