2019 TRD Pro’s collecting dust at dealerships

I think as others have said, the market has softened. It doesn't help when they put every damn accessory to drive up price.

It eventually backfires. I have seen pros with the cheap running boards, and all kinds of crap.

 

The auto industry bubble is about to pop.

Over 7 million auto loans are more than two months delinquent.

At no point in history has more money been loaned out for autos.

Shit will hit the fan at some point.

 

As America goes, so does our industries.

 

Always buy with cash.

 

As far as the PRO's go, they always seem to be discounted this time of year. Folks naturally want to wait for the next best gimmick.

 

The car market is on its bubble and ready to pop. In the Porsche market the GT cars were going 50-75K above MSRP. Now they are selling from MSRP to a few K over MSRP.

 

Its the ridiculous Snorkel...

 

My local dealer has had a blue PRO in the showroom for almost a year.

When the 2020 PROS arrive I might be tempted to shoot them a stingy offer for the 2019.

 

I have seen two tv ads recently for the most popular vehicle in Canada, the Ford F150, one was offering 0% financing for 5 YEARS, the other was $15,000 off MSRP. Economic tough times are close at hand.

 

Uh ya that’s insane the two Toyota dealers in my city probably have about that many new vehicles total (245).

One dealer has 55 tacos 3 pros and the other 75 tacos and 2 pros.

Guess they aren’t very popular here I’ve only seen a handful around town.

 

7 million is a reletively small number. There are like 300 million people in America. A lot of them have more than one car. There won't be any bubble popping any time soon.

 

It's a lot to spend for a truck that needs tires and a lift

 

There are more than 300million people in the USA, not all of them own cars, not all of them have car loans. So to really know if 7 million car loans being delinquent is a significant percentage, we need to know the number of car loans outstanding. It would also be key to know how many loans are more than a month behind.

 

yeah

okay

Apparrantly there are about 108 million open auto loan accounts in the US. 7 million is a lot, but the banks will just repo them and sell them to someone else.

 

The Pro really should come with better tires, especially for what they charge for one.

 

Here is some insight on dealer allocations.

You don't want to drown your Taco in dust, would you? My god, man, take this shit seriously! That snorkel is wirth every penny of the 10k mark up!

 

Only 3 Access Cabs? Meh!

 

For $10k uplift, it should come with a supercharger and $5,000 in cash
