Summary
Supplies of new and used vehicles in the U.S. are declining rapidly as consumers rush to buy ahead of potential price increases due to tariffs.

Some automakers are strategically increasing production, while others are offering discounts to sell down inventories. Tariffs and fear of price increases are driving consumers to make purchases, impacting sales and profits for dealerships.
