While this article makes a good point about the truth about supply and demand its focus and title are completely misleading. There is actually never been a better time than now to purchase a new vehicle. Just like this article depicts, there will be less new vehicles to sell but what is most important to the consumer is that the value of their trade in has never been higher.
The price a dealer pays from the manufacturer will not change due to less availability. Interest rates are still very low making this the most opportune time to take advantage of a still plentiful selection of new vehicles.
What we are seeing here on Delmarva are that customers are trading their two to three year old vehicle, that is close to the end of its manufactures warranty for a brand new vehicle and keeping the same of even lowering their payment. So the article asks how long will you wait to purchase. Do you honestly believe that used car values will continue to rise as they have? Or are you one of the smart consumers who see a great opportunity like and act on it as opposed to those that will wish they had sold their home before the Market collapsed.
Bottom line, consumers drive the economy, and waiting to make a smart purchase has never resulted in a better deal for the consumer.
Considering Pohanka recently build a brand new facility, the Factory made sure they have a larger inventory than most other Dealerships with the exception of the Prius.

So, are you saying you should not have posted the earlier article, you knew the article was bad but posted it anyway, or that one of your biggest sponsors gave you a call and sent you an article of their own for you to post?
Nothing against Pohanka at all (great company, very nice people) but this "article" reads like it was written by their marketing manager.
Dan, while you tend to be a smart ass on a regular basis I let this one through in order to clarify my position.
In case you hadn't noticed, Salisbury News is expanding with additional writers.
Their post went up without knowledge of the Delmarva Dealers situation, which is unique to most of the rest of the country.
Yes, because they are an advertiser, I felt it only proper to educate our viewers that while the earlier might be the case for the rest of the country, it is not the case here on the Shore. Not for Pohanka, anyway.
I hope that helps answer your question. I'll not get into a debate with you Dan. Take it or leave it.
Just a question, Joe. Simmer down. Thanks for the answer.
And I hope you note I am more of a smart ass with the useless Anons than anyone else. My emails with you have always been above-board, even when I disagree with you.
Dan, notice how you have this need to make all things like this public. IF you had any respect you would have simply e-mailed me and debated it there. You're not fooling anyone.
