Dealers CAN'T SELL These Cars! Will Car Prices Drop? 

Last summer I was shopping for a vehicle. Every dealer had vehicles marked up with junk fees and non-negotiable add on packages and I told them they could keep them. Fast forward 1 year and they can't sell them fast enough. Serves the greedy bastards right.

I do not feel sorry for car dealers AT ALL.

No one should buy new cars at jacked-up MSRPs. People are still crazy for buying them.

Several major car companies stopped selling affordable sedans, claiming that nobody is buying them. Now they are selling only crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. And now no one is buying them, especially EVs. I believe the real reason for stopping making sedans was not that nobody was buying them, but that they a created a huge price contrast with their expensive SUVs and trucks. In 2000, one could buy a used Ford Escort with 120K miles for around $1250. Even in 2017, many dealers sold new Toyota Camrys for less than $19000. Selling on the same dealer lot two similarly sized new cars, one for 20K and one for 60K, looks a little embarassing to dealers.

Looks like the "chateaubriand days" of "Big Cars, Big Profits" are coming to a crushing end"...thank goodness.

I have a 2019 civic hatchback I leased and bought out during the car shortage. It was $22k in 2019 and worth about $20k now. Great deal and have had no issues. Retaining its value wonderfully.

Really surprised that Mazda wasn't on the list of best buys. They're great cars!

I would literally walk or ride a bicycle before I’d pay these crazy inflated prices. These add ons are a rip off. Paint sealant, scotchguard, stripes, blah blah blah. Some dealers charging $5k for an extended warranty. They can shove it.

In my region of Canada, I was looking at the Corolla Cross hybrid and the RAV4 hybrid. But the Corolla Cross was an 8 month wait with the RAV4 being 12 months. I then looked at the CRV hybrid which was in dealer stock but the most expensive. Hyundai Tucson hybrid was better priced with a 1 month wait and is what I now have - no regrets, especially after trading in my Ioniq 5 EV.

Range Rover in demand?? I call BS. Must be their sponsor!!!

To summ up this entire channel: Buy Japanese cars (except nissan, mitsubishi & suzuki) Because they're reliable If you want luxury, buy acura or lexus Don't buy European cars but if you have to, buy BMW or Porsche Thank me later

Honda civic, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry on the top 10 list. I bet Ford and Chevy are regretting cutting the Fusion, Taurus, Malibu, Impala, Cruze, etc.

I have a new Camry. I have talked to others in S. California that have them. There are scattered dealerships that are discounting them despite the short supply. I managed almost $2500 off MSRP. Keep looking if someone is marking them up

The Dodge Hornet is actually an Italian car with an engine built in Poland. You realize that when you look at the window sticker and it shows it's built in Italy. Dodge buyers are not gonna buy a foreign car with an American badge slapped onto it. The reliability of Italian cars is "questionable" and the parts to repair are ridiculous. I guess Stellantis thinks American buyers are gullible and stupid. Those Hornets are $15,000 cars with $45,000 prices, and are gonna fall apart. No thanks!

I see a trend here. Toyota and Honda dominate sales. Difficult to get a used one with low mileage. I ended buying a used Elantra, a poor man's Civic. 😮

I work for a Honda and we cannot keep Civics n the lot. they sell as soon as we get delivery. CRV-Hybrid is right behind it. The most popular models we sell.

Shari spot on straight to the point, as always. I watch your videos regardless of the title. I always learn something useful from your videos and really appreciate the priceless work you are doing to educate the car buyers. Keep it up ❤

People seem to buy cars the way they vote. The Land/Range River is a great example, lol.

I refuse to buy a brand new vehicle again! Thanks for this video and for helping us stay informed.

I like to ask where would you place Mazda 3 on the top ten best selling cars? In your previous videos it was on the top ten list. Well done! 👍

So I got ripped off when I bought my year old used Honda HRV from a Toyota dealership in 2021. Fortunately I was able to refi with my credit union at a dramatically lower interest rate. I could not trust Toyota Motor Credit. My credit union advised me to take off the warranties which I did. Between the dramatic 5% drop in interest rate to 2.4% and the removal of warranties it reduced my payments by two and a half years

I only have the jeep wrangler as long as warranty is there. The moment it's about to be up I'm switching over to a nice Japanese car.

Local dealers here in western Penna. are offering a $280 monthly lease with zero down for last year's Dodge Hornet.

Stop paying Markups over Msrp ....its insane to go GaGa over any particular model nowadays specially if you think of the build and performance after five years..control your hunger and fantasies and show the dealers their actual worth!!!

Chevy Trax sells very fast as well. The 2024-2025 models have everything you need in space, legroom, cargo space, back up camera, heated seats, and steering wheel, the Activ is the only one with power seats, and none of them have a power trunk, it’s manual but honestly for me the less electronics the better.

Most prices have gone up in the last few weeks in the upper midwest, US. I'm looking but I'm not liking.

I don't know how you missed the dodge chargers and challengers. Looked at a charger on the lot over 400 days. Very average car marked down to 45 grand, still a lot of money for a base model w awd

Another great video Shari! Keep up the good work ❤

2:32. Did anyone else see the UFO?

I think you missed one for fastest selling car, 2024 chevy trax. I was searching for 4 months to find a white 1RS before I found one and bought it while it was arriving on the cargo ship, The 2RS and Activ are plenty but 1RS is such good value in canada, a white or black 1RS is usually gone within 2 days

Tacoma sales are supposedly way off. Overpriced and the stink of the new Tundras have people nervous.

I would never touch a land rover, they are ugly and over priced. I got a 2024 Honda civic touring burst pearl blue, I got a little discount, and totally love it.

The Range Rover is #1??? Are you kidding me? It is possibly the most unreliable luxury SUV on the planet. They cost a fortune to own and maintain. Unbelievable!

Also huge shout out to Toyota for keeping their prices very competitive even close to the low end vehicle. Even the crappy ones can’t compete with Toyota on pricing. Look at Kia/Hyundai, Nissan or jeep price tags. Not even half the reliability of Toyota but higher prices.

Unfortunately the US and Canadian markets are very different. It will take some time for Canada to catch up with US inventory levels since manufacturers are sending most of what they make to the US as the Canadian dollar makes us a lower priced market. Toyota dealers in Toronto are still buying new hybrid vehicles they receive to sell them used with significant markups over retail for instance.

Toyota vs Toyota Love It!

To your question at the end: Toyota Camry!

Toyota and Subaru is still selling and at full price. On Long Island, NY anyway.

You didn't have the Cadillac LYRIQ on the list. It is available at the dealer parking lot for 100 or more.

I am hoping this will work in my favour to get a good deal on a PHEV or EV. What is the criteria for a car to be considered used? I see some dealers that shill have 2023's on the lot with 2024, and now 2025's coming in. Is a 2023 considered new or used if it hasn't left the dealer lot?

Imagine before the internet the field days that car dealers had because people had no clue.

"Many people want [this car], but the supply is not able to keep up." They can keep the supply up if they want to. But they're putting their resources into building cars nobody wants and then selling them at a loss, while the cars people want are at a premium. Beyond stupid.

I think a lot of Jeep enthusiast would buy a Gladiator. It's just way over priced for what you get.

your 2 lists reveal that sensibility/cost have ZERO or close to zero correlation to sales. Plenty of people with $$$$ willing to spend on ie pick ups but not willing to drop the same coin on a brand. Stellantis occupies quite a few spots on the bad list. The reverse for Toyota, not really understanding the constant shortage of stock here, plenty of other "high value" brands with plenty of stock, yet the worlds largest manufacturer with plants across the globe can't keep any one model in decent supply for dealers.

Traverser might change a little the new one looks good

Trying to purchase a used car this summer for college. I am 18 years old and need an SUV size car for college as I am taking my things and going a few states away for college. Car prices are insane. They aren’t dropping much at all but I’m hoping I will be able to get something decent for under $20,000

I would love to see a list of those that have the best incentives while still being fairly good purchases. Like I assume Mazda CX-5 would be in there with good reliability and still getting incentives (just terrible gas mileage), but I wonder what else might be in there.

Range Rovers are in short supply due to issues with the manufacturer's facilities. TATA JLR is in the process of moving their traditional production line to India and have reduced factory output temporarily. The western facilities are being reconfigured for electric vehicles and staff trainings are in full swing.

Mazda,hyundai and Kia doesnt have stock at all.

Honda and Toyota dealerships with side stickers --- sorry, I am not interested. Also there are many features of which I simply do not want on the current cars, such as lane departure, camera pointed at my head to nanny me, cameras stuck to the windshield what makes replacement an all day job at triple the price, plastic parts dominating the under bonnet, CVT transmissions, turbo on 1.5 lt mini engines, automatic braking, monitors replacing physical knobs and buttons, lack of V6 and V8 choices, packages including unwanted, such as moonroofs, auto dimming mirrors costing three times the worth, as well as, blind spot monitors -- I assume people cannot adjust their mirrors these days. I know if I get one of these new gems of automotive complexity, with associated cost front to end, I will be switching off the crap. Ah ha, some items you switch off every time you start the journey -- how pleasing is that? Not so much! If the parts are available, the cars of the 1990's to early 2000's might be the best bet, though car safety is improving. If you find certain cars, made not so long ago, with multi-port injection, and old school transmissions, those too might be a good buy. Some Toyota and Hondas may be OK, but the dealerships, with side stickers, and fast talking BS sales people, is yet another story. I am impressed that our local Subaru dealership never went the side-sticker jack-up on pricing. Subaru might be an option. Good at safety, Subaru, like all the rest has one too many nannies on the vehicle, and I wish there was an option out on those, but this is a new world.

Hello Shari, Please help...I am having issue with paint peeling off along the edge of the hood of my 2023 RAV4 XLE Hybrid. Also many scratches on the surface of the hood surface. The paint seem to be easily scratched due to very soft clear coat paint. I have been to the dealership twice to address the issue but they refused to do anything about it. Please advise what I should to about this problem. Thanking you in advance.

Lucky that Toyota RAV4 is cheap over there but here in Norway it's 70k$

Will still be expensive, even after a so called huge discount. Then after that comes the markups.

I wonder how many cats would be sold if people only could pay with just cash no loans financing and interest car market would collapse . STAY TUNED 😆 🤣

The Titan is probably the most reliable on this list.

When Ford Australia introduced the AU Falcon in 1998 the car buying public hated them because they were so ugly , the vehicle repair industry coined the AU stands for awfully ugly, now 20 years later the young drivers are buying them because they are very cheap to purchase and cheap to repair

How about honda crv hybrid?

Will see how the prices go during the great financial crisis -- 2024. 🤑

None and damn sure not any Land/Range Rover 😄

#1 rover because thy don't make them fast not because people like them TOYOTA and HONDA is # 1 selling

prices will go down on stuff people dont want4Runners, Rav4, Corolla, CRV, Subarus are still bringing top-dollar. used EVs will cost owners disposal fees.

surpassing 6 figures would mean 7 figures. i think you mean they are 6 figures.

Uugh please add Fiat to this list getting rid of mine 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Be ready service the vehicle urself if the dealer has to drop their price.😏

Land Rover? People can't wait to get a Land Rover? I think that the data is manipulated.

The vehicles with the highest demand are the most reliable and affordable options. Look at how many of them are also sedans. Ford, GM and Stellantis are fools.

I have a 2018 camry se which will not pair will not pair with my android I traded in my kia optima ex hybrid for the camry all gas car. Omg what a greater difference

I would not spend a dime, on any new car at this point. Especially not an EV. EVs are not even in the picture as far as I'm concerned. They could all be sold at cost and I still, wouldn't buy one.

There is no trouble people cannot afford theses overpriced cars suv etc

Nobody wants the junk!

Yes they can. But we’re not buying. Put them at $20K and watch zip off the lot!!

TOYOTA RAV4 or COROLLA CROSS

There are many life components to be concerned about, so a dependable ride is one worth having to keep you out of the service areas of car dealerships. Toyota, Toyota, Toyota.

I think all the dealers are still living in covid land,matter of fact i think they all still have covid.😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol I haven't started to watch the video yet but just the clickbaity screenshot when you rarely do those made me laugh.

Evs suck they don't have the efficiency of either a hybrid car or combustion car

The main issue with the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer is not only the price, it also has poor reliability, and the looks are polarizing to some consumers.

Thank you. Yes, I own a Toyota Corolla SE. It is a great car. 😊

Why is the Hornet underwhelming? You seem to like putting it down for no apparent reason. Give me a break!

What about the horrible Mustang Mocky. That car is a joke, I think there's a thousand day supply of those things rotting in dealer's lots all over the country. Car companies insist that they're not making cars anymore because customers want terribly expensive pickups and SUVs but that's total bullshit and Toyota is proving it with HIGH DEMAND for their relatively inexpensive and dependable CARS. The missus and I will be new Corolla owners by the end of the month.

I'm most interested in the RAV4 and the Camry for now

GM makes pure junk then wonders why people won't buy it. I wonder who's advising the people at GM, Ford and Chrysler because those companies are totally clueless. People want in order of importance: Safe, RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE, practical, and fun to drive vehicles. Reply

.......................... NO...........Prices will Not Plummet for LEXUS & The Hard to get Best models i.e. the 450h+ "F" Sport as like in Econ 101 ...So for the #1 Best Vehicle running (3) YEARS at this writing by JD Power.

are you holding in a fart or having a hard time reading the list?

Sounds like a Toyota commercial,

No honda CRV unusual

EV garbage isn't selling that's for sure..

You're not telling us what we really want to know like electrical problems engine transmission problems consumers would like to know so I'm giving this video thumbs down👎

If the prices do plummet then that will mean the American people do have some pull in the market but I don't it will and I'm sure corporate greed will win out where it has in all the other industries that are prices gouging the American people... I say don't buy unless you get the price you want...

LOL! You have to wait for months to get a Sienna in Tampa Bay. What supply are you talking about?

Prices will NOT plummet...as long as idiots pay these crazy prices.

My advice is to bite the bullet, buy a brand new Japanese made car, and then KEEP IT FOREVER!!! In the long run, you will SAVE TONS OF MONEY!!!

When a dealer takes a used $15,600.00 on line price to nearly 23$ grand to gain massive profit is terrible

I've been hearing for a year that car prices are about to fall because inventory is piling up. They haven't, and they won't. This is click-bait.

Camry

We just got a RAV4 Hybrid. It had arrived at the dealer the day before, had only 5 miles on it.

Why the Telluride is not on this list because they sell like crazy
