Greetings,
Hard to believe we're in the home stretch of 2022. Along with declining used car prices, the new quarter brings automaker sales reports (good for some, not good for others). At the same time, the numbers reveal a mixed bag for CarMax. We also examine how Costco gets creative with automotive discounts and why one Porsche dealer is crying foul against the mothership.
Enjoy the read. Cheers!
