[QUOTE="7998, post: 16582700, member: 70541"] So in this 9-12 months you've noticed "A LOT" of people trade more often than they ever have? I'm not saying your bullshitting but I am genuinely curious how you've come to that conclusion. If people are trading more often I would assume your used inventory is up ytd, therefore considering the hot market conditions your new and used sales must be up ytd. How much are they up on average monthly over last year? Like I said in my original post I'm sure the increase in your average net per unit is welcomed and good for you but, it won't last. It's a flawed short term plan. The lumber industry tried it last year when a 2x4 went from $3 to $8. They got greedy and the big builders and suppliers told them to sit on it and their inventory grew until they had to dump it. Ford could take their GT500 sales plan and make 100 F-150's a year and sell them for $100k a piece but they're going to start losing their discounts on glass, tires, etc. because RAM or <Insert competitor hungry for business> is going to fill the void. This practice has been tried countless times throughout history, and all the manufacturers swear to to the alter of profit but the beauty of capitalism always wins. [/QUOTE]
