I shared the cereal one with Erin as she laughed. She said "How about the kid that leaves 3 drips of milk in the container and puts it in the fridge? Then I want cereal and have to walk to the basement fridge to get milk."

She also offered this one. Garrett likes to leave Pringles crumbs with about 1 and 1/2 chips in there so we don't know he ate the whole can in a single sitting.

I was reading the vehicle market quarterly report yesterday. New vehicle sales are declining for the third straight year after vehicle MSRPs are at an all time high. This is a result of manufacturers placing big incentives on leases over the last 5 years.

The used market pricing is also high due to original MSRPs being high. There's a glut of used vehicles on the market and a bunch of lease returns about to hit. Manufacturers are pulling back on selling to the rental market to try to stem supply. Used prices are expected to fall 20-25% over the next three years.

What we're seeing is the market at its peak with a bust on the horizon. The dealerships know that lean times are ahead and are trying to make hay while the sun shines to carry them through. There's a big push to move cars at these high prices because next year will be harder with lower prices.

Good for a guy looking to trade and buy late next year!
Buy yes. Trade not so much. They're going to offer really low prices on trades because of the glut of vehicles and falling prices. Private party is likely the best way. Already seeing some of this now. Looking at these 2016 ford explorers with 20,000 miles I'm seeing. Msrp was 42,000 . Trade 23,500 and dealer invoice is 29,000. The trade value is a 45% depreciation in one year! With the spread between trade and dealer invoice at 29%. The dealership consultants tell dealers to maintain a minimum 84% cost to invoice so a 16% spread. Meaning the cost to buy the vehicle, recondition, and keep until it sells should be at a maximum 84% of the asking price. This allows for 12% profit and 4% to the salesman. They're pricing these vehicles at 25-30% above trade and cost, and from what I've seen not budging much. Most of them offer basement prices on trades over 4 years old also.

I saw a cost breakdown yesterday that said cost to recondition and finance runs the dealer about a grand on every used vehicle. 750 on reconditioning and 250 on finance fees. Every month he has it is a month he loses equity because they finance most trade purchases. So they pay 23,500 and it's costs them 24,500 total. I start negotiations there. While that is 0% to the dealership you never know, they could be close to hitting a sales goal, bonus goal, or just need to lower their finance amount and you might end up in the 25-25,500 range which is 2-4% for them. But anything around 27k is good because that's 10% and they used to sell used cars at 10% all day long before the bubble.
