Dealerships are increasingly using AI tools to enhance operations, such as pre-qualifying used-car acquisition leads and shaping buying decisions. Major players like CarMax and Carvana are impacting the used car market, with Carvana scaling its footprint and CarMax seeing a surge in delinquencies. Economic uncertainty and changing consumer behaviors are driving these shifts, with some dealers focusing on building relationships and culture to stay competitive.

"The EV narrative is all over the place right now: Many headlines keep calling it a collapse but on the ground what Im hearing from dealers is a lot more nuanced. In the short term suresales have cratered since the federal tax credit disappeared. Market share went from nearly XX% in September to roughly X% in October. And new EV prices are still sitting in the low $50Ks even with medium-to-heavy OEM incentives. Meanwhile the used side is behaving very differently. Sales dipped month-over-month but stayed up year-over-year and prices kept softening which is exactly what operators like Alex"

"NEWS Macro pressures are limiting dealer flexibility: Coming out of a tumultuous 2025 dealers arent chasing one silver bullet. Auto loan rates stayed elevated tariffs landed and EV incentives faded. But responses from the CDG Q4 2025 Dealer Outlook Survey show those pressures converging into one outcome: Fewer buyers qualifying comfortably at todays prices. Thats why affordability ranked as the #1 concern in the survey ahead of rates tariffs or OEM programs. To add insult to injury margin pressure is squeezing dealers and leaving less wiggle room on monthly payments. Bottom line: In 2026"

"Auto lenders are getting crushed on repos: The Subprime Recovery Rate Index (which tracks how much lenders recoup after a repossession) has plunged from XX% in 2021 to just XX% by mid-2025. The reason: Falling used car values + rising repo costs. Storage transport and auction fees are up 1520% with inflation. The signal: Lower repo recoveries mean bigger losses pushing lenders to likely tighten underwriting and lean harder on technology to limit risk.
