Consumer demand is creating strong profits for dealers with diverse inventory.

 

ZeroSum AI™ showed an increase in shopping which made for a good start to a strong September. These inventory shortages have been at record low levels (barely +1%) across the nation. However, as shopping increased last week (+1.3%) and dealerships are still making strong profits some OEM brands have less than 40 days of inventory available.
