Almost 3 million new cars are missing their first owners. Dealers simply can't get rid of them.
The development since the corona days, when car dealers screamed for new cars, has to that extent been reversed. Now there are 3 million cars that dealers cannot get rid of.
This is shown by a new settlement from dealers in the United States, which Automotive News refers to.
Specifically, the dealers are burning inside with 2.89 million cars that have not yet found their first owners. That is one million more cars than in the same period last year.
