The average car in the U.S. is now 12.6 years old. As cars get older, they need more repairs, which increases the demand for OEM parts. With better vehicle quality and higher costs, people are keeping their cars longer. Find out why this could be good news for dealers looking to sell more parts and how they can adapt to meet this growing demand. https://ow.ly/xOlw50RSXV2 #AutoIndustry #OEMParts #eCommerce #RevolutionParts

This New York Times piece forecasts a sluggish year ahead for the #autoindustry, attributed to heightened interest rates and steep prices for both new and pre-owned vehicles. Despite the industry's notable 12% increase in sales in 2023, Edmunds, a market researcher, only projects a 1% increase in 2024. Jessica Caldwell, head of insights at Edmunds, offers her perspective in the article: “There’s definitely pent-up demand out there, because people have been holding off purchases for a while (due to covid), but given the credit situation, we don’t think the industry will see a ton of growth this year.” This reality cannot be overlooked by automotive stakeholders. Car subscription services are rapidly gaining traction as an effective strategy for dealers to bolster their revenue amid declining sales. Embracing car subscription models enables dealers to transform their inventory into a third revenue stream alongside traditional purchasing and leasing options. Moreover, this approach appeals to a fresh demographic of customers who prioritize convenience over ownership. FAAREN Group offers a whitelabel software solution that empowers any dealership to become a subscription service provider seamlessly.

New car incentives have soared by 53% as auto dealers grapple with rising inventories and weak demand due to elevated interest rates and inflation. Consumers are delaying car purchases or opting for more affordable options such as compact SUVs due to the high cost of financing new vehicles. Increasing dealer inventory levels and potential Federal Reserve rate cuts in the future could impact new auto prices. #grow🌱 #agribusiness #supplychain #trade #usa🇺🇸 #markets #commodities #stagflation #oil🛢️ #demand #interestrates🔥 #cars🚗 #recession2024 #thefed🏦

These are the kinds of things that anger car buyers, and with good reason... A dealership lists a vehicle for $22,339 on Cars.com, which shows the vehicle is below "average market price." HOWEVER...when you take a closer look at this vehicle on the dealer’s website for the fine print... - This $22,339 price includes a $1,000 discount for trading in a vehicle in; so no trade-in, no discount. - This price includes a $1,000 discount for financing a vehicle; no financing through the dealership, no discount. - Furthermore, this price does NOT include: $1,099 Pre-Delivery Service Fee (i.e. a separate recon fee), $385 Electronic Tag Registration Fee, and a $2,995 Dealer Package. So if a customer goes through Cars.com thinking this is a good deal, submits a lead, has no trade in, and plans to pay cash, the price he/she would pay is $28,818 or a whopping $6,479 above the selling price shown in Cars.com, and $6,152 above the "average market price" of $22,668. Making a fair profit is one thing. Doing it the way this group does is entirely another and simply perpetuates the industry's poor reputation. This just isn't necessary in today's day and age...

🎇 All the best to my connections and followers for the new year 🎇 I hope that 2024 will be a success and offer opportunity to many. For many consumers, getting used to higher interest rates, will it be a time to buy a new car? Can we expect to see dealers switching back to a discount led sales model? With stock levels getting back to more usual and arguably predictable levels, there maybe some real offers available, particularly on the growing range of electric vehicles, as the OEMs fight to meet new rules (as 20% of new car sales must be zero emission next year). This was always in advance of the 2030 (now 2035) drop-dead, but the manufacturing and design times are set, almost, in stone. So progress along that timeline is still ongoing, no real sign of the manufacturers taking their foot off the gas. So, the difficult choice, Electric power train or ICE (internal combustion engine)? The view seems to be to stay with ICE for now. Used car values on electric cars are plummeting and the accident repair costs particularly are significantly more than traditional ICE cars. Servicing costs could be expected to be minimal and definitely lower, but dealers are clinging on to the aftersales business, with higher margins. This is unlikely to be sustainable, as other OEMs look to emulate the Tesla model i.e. higher upfront profit on the ‘metal’ and lower aftersales profits. There may be potential bargains on diesels, likely to be sold off in increasing numbers in and around newly emerging and expanding ULEZ zones. The London mayoral election and the general election will likely be fought on pro/anti motorist issues, so the outcome will directly affect dealers and their stocking plans, as drivers offload more polluting cars and switch to ‘cleaner’ hybrid petrol engines and probably PHEVs too. Their life now extended to 2035, so people will change cars probably twice even three times before they cease production. 2023 saw repair costs continue to rise, so perhaps look to extended warranty and service plans to help customer retention and loyalty, as well as payment options which allow costs to be spread?

#PredictionsFor2024 | "The current year can be said to be as normal as 2022-23, except that small car sales will have fallen below the previous year numbers. Overall, passenger vehicle sales in 2023-2024 would be at record levels of about 4.13 million. However, the annual sales growth from the 2018-19 levels up to this year would still be under 4%. The 2023-24 growth rate would be a little over 6%."
Predictions for 2024: Small cars may lag in a good year for motown, says RC Bhargava, Maruti Suzuki

Retail/Wholesale/Online Parts sales at New Holland Auto Group
2moThe ideas have merit for the OEMs, but if they don’t produce parts for 10 year and older vehicles, that is a deeper issue.
