High persistant, lengthy unemployment / underemployment for starters. Stagnant wages, higher food, energy, and just living costs. Oh, and the skyrocketing student loans on many families in the U.S. Economic pressures, uncertainty and a ballooning govt deficits also deflate consumers appetite for new vehicle purchases.
I know, I wish I had more positive news to share. I see and hear so many middle class families finding it more difficult to try to get ahead with their finances.
Hopefully, nicer weather will help increase the buying of new vehicles.
