Since Covid, nothing is the same as it was before. I do suspect that this scenario is going to change. Might be less demand for cars in other parts of the country where there are less cash buyers and people have to finance their prurchase. For most of us, car is not an absolute necessity since majority of TV population does not need a car every day like the working populace.
