All US sellers are feeling the cooling of the market, fewer buyers want to finance at the moment
knowing that their jobs might be ending, can’t afford the monthly payment or waiting for lower interst rates.

Stellantis is especially bad because high end buyers seem to have deserted them and inventory
is loaded with hard to sell models. Maybe everyone waiting for a fire sale at cost just to move them
