Market Dynamics and Dealership Strategies
The presence of several Stellantis brand models on this list indicates a significant stockpile, potentially due to shifts in consumer preference and model discontinuations. Market Day Supply (MDS) remains a key indicator for dealers to manage inventory. A balanced MDS is crucial to avoid excessive holding costs and potential profit loss.
Responding to an Evolving Market
With changing trends and the move towards electric vehicles, some dealerships are stuck with models that no longer align with consumer demand, as evidenced by the oversupply of certain models. Despite the high supply, dealers may be hesitant to negotiate prices, likely in anticipation of upcoming model refreshes or changes in market dynamics.

Not surprised. Especially as regards the Hornet! It's very ugly!
The Chargers,et al, are going to lose the v8 at a minimum. The chassis’s for the old cars dates back to the 1998 E Class Mercedes! The Mach E is understandable since it’s in the fourth year of sales. Will although choices today, American buyers aren’t ready for no in the body year to year and only tech they can’t see. I bought (and sold) a First Edition ’21 Mustang Mach E 4X. Really good except for reliability, but a terrific drive.
