Used vehicle prices expected to continue to stabilize in 2025 after pandemic volatility

In 2025, used vehicle prices are expected to stabilize due to improved new car production, easing supply chain disruptions, and increased availability of semiconductors. These factors will boost new vehicle inventories, reducing pressure on the used car market. Additionally, easing inflation and potential interest rate cuts are likely to enhance consumer purchasing power, making financing more affordable and influencing demand across the automotive market. As competition in the electric vehicle (EV) sector intensifies and consumer preferences shift toward fuel-efficient and eco-friendly options, prices for traditional combustion engine vehicles may decline, further balancing the market. Together, these economic and market dynamics are poised to create a more stable pricing environment for used vehicles.

Happy New Year!!!
 
Some years just come with more excitement than others and that is the case for
the ADS team as we gear up for what is sure to be our best year ever!
 
By most expert opinions, the automotive industry, and the economy, should
thrive in 2025 (see articles below) and we are right with them in that mindset.
The majority for automotive forecasters are predicting an increase over 2024 as
well as the downward move on rates, lower overall vehicle prices and the return
of some needed factory incentives all line up to give this market the
accelerant it needs to achieve the results we are all hoping for.
 
The recent news of the Honda and Nissan merger is adding even more excitement
to the conversation and outlook. Many feel this will add competitiveness on a
global level and several dealers of ours have expressed shear enthusiasm over
the news. It will be interesting to see how this news shakes out and what the
short and long-term effects are on the industry and the dealers of the affected
brands.
 
Our team at ADS continues to grow. We added 5 incredibly talented members to
our team in December and look forward to introducing them to everyone in the
next couple of months. We know these recent hires, as well as our existing team
members, will bring us to new heights in terms of dealer performance, new
relationships, and new markets entered. Be on the lookout for the exciting
updates throughout the year.
 
From all of us at ADS, to all of you, we wish you the happiest and most
prosperous New Year’s EVER!

Sincerely,

Bob and Ryan
