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.
