What happened to the car market that everything fell on its face like this?

[ccap41]

Probably because car prices are increasing at a rate that people can't keep up with(inflation).

I bet Ram trucks had huge incentives on them.  The rest of FCA got clobbered.  Sales are cooling off, 2015 was a record year.

Could well be. 

I think given the low prices in the sued car market, the sued market is now fairly flooded with lease returns and late model trades. Interesting to see what is selling well and what isn't.

And I did read something somewhere about big money on the hood of the RAM.

yes, new is too pricey.  lots of lease returns now hitting market.  used prices down.  i think the new market should cut back production for awhile.  election jitters may be part of it as well.

A lot of students are graduating with a crap ton of debt and living at home also. That is not helping matters here.  not the main cause, but it would be a substantial number of sales if people did not  have high College debt and could find decent jobs.

Well, when your so called compact cars are now selling over 20k easy and nearly 90 percent are leased, should tell us something...

Leasing is up across the board.  Also, compacts are much nicer and much more highly contented.
