The Future of Dealerships

Big dealerships are bracing for the backlash of the disaster that has plagued Japan. They know that soon they will have higher profits, however, this is going to come at the cost of not having as many cars, both new and used to offer those that come to the dealership. Already, the dealerships are seeing this come to light as they are being forced to cut down their used car supply since they simply cannot find them. When the disaster in Japan first happened, most dealerships stocked up their used car inventory as fast as they could in fear that this exact thing would happen. And those dealerships are still facing hard times since once these used cars run out they are gone. 

Almost every dealership that is publicly held was informed from Japan that the product shortages would start in June and more than likely last throughout the year. However, what does this mean for consumers? It means that they are going to be paying more for the cars that they are interested in while dealerships are going to be offering less incentives to those that are buying cars. However, consumers should know that the market is still going to be competitive. Maybe even more so than before since dealers are going to know that people are going to be taking the extra time to look around for their next vehicle to find a deal. 

However, since most dealers are going to want their used car lot to be up and running with the other lots in the area, they are developing ways in which they can increase their used car lot which means going through aggressive trade in deals. With that being said, consumers may find that they are able to get even more money for their trade in than they were before. Which could be the best way that some people are able to afford a new car.
