In the U.S. and abroad, this fact is evident: Cars today are just too darn expensive. It’s hard to believe that just a short time ago, coming off very little to no inventory availability in prior years, the “experts” were saying that there was at least a year or two of “pent-up” retail and fleet demand; the supply of new and used vehicles wouldn’t be back to “normal” for years; and that overproduction and “stairstep” incentives were things of the past.

Automakers’ websites generally aren’t hitting the high bar many consumers expect today, a semiannual study shows. The J.D. Power poll of more than 11,000 new-vehicle shoppers found that exactly half consider automakers’ websites “more” organized and modern than other websites they visited. Luxury new-vehicle shoppers didn’t grade them much better: 52% on the aspirational scale.

It’s been clear that federal tax credits for electric-vehicle purchases and leases have played a big role in EV transactions. Newly released research shows just how much.

Mike Heraty, a car enthusiast, says he fell in love with the auto industry after buying his first vehicle, a 1972 Chevy Malibu. But he never imagined his passion for cars would lead to an opportunity to work in the auto industry, nor that he would celebrate 38 years with Entire Car Protection Inc. as its new president. “I had the unique opportunity to grow up with ECP,” he says. “As a 20-year-old kid, I began rebuilding undercoating pumps.

Winning the Game

Oct 10, 2024 | agent-entrepreneur.com | David Ibarra
