Savvy DEALER
🚗 September 2025 Auto Market Update: What Dealers Need to Know Two fresh decks dropped this month — Cars.com’s August Industry Insights and Cox Automotive’s Q3 Forecast. When you combine them, the story is clear: 📊 New Vehicle Market Inventory down ~6% YoY → fewer cars on lots. Average price: $49K → high trims dominate. Sub-$30K models are disappearing fastest. Tariffs adding ~$5K per import → OEMs are trimming incentives and leaning on premium models. 🏷 Used Vehicle Market Inventory down ~3% YoY → tighter supply. Average price: $29.6K → steady, not sliding. EV supply down ~30% → Tesla’s pricing pulls down averages, while non-Tesla EVs are rising. ⚡ EV & Hybrid Trends New EV demand +33% YoY → record share at ~10% of new sales. Leasing >50% thanks to incentives, but lease returns will flood used EV supply in 2026. Hybrids/HEVs are surging → buyers see them as a safer middle ground. Risks: affordability pressure, wholesale values on used EVs, tax credit uncertainty. 🔮 The Road Ahead Tight supply + rising tariffs = fewer deals for buyers. Used market remains resilient, but EVs are the X-factor. Dealers need sharper messaging: value, cost of ownership, and incentives matter more than ever. 💡 What Dealers Can Do Now Audit your digital presence — buyers will use AI tools to filter who shows up. Optimize for AI/GEO visibility so your inventory doesn’t get buried. Align ad spend with value-driven messaging, not just price tags. Monitor EV lease returns closely — they will reshape used pricing. 🚀 At Savvy Dealer We help groups and rooftops stay discoverable in an AI-first search world. From AI compatibility audits to data-driven ad strategies, we keep you ahead of the curve. 📲 Let’s connect at Digital Dealer — Booth #212. 👉 Or run your free AI visibility audit today: ai-detect.savvydealer.com
