Learn how to keep calm and carry on with smart money moves and car buying plans amid tariffs, market swings, and rising prices. Should you buy a car now or wait — even if prices are expected to rise? How can you navigate the financial noise of today's economy without losing your cool? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss coping with economic uncertainty and the impact of tariffs on consumer behavior. Joined by NerdWallet data journalist and senior economist Elizabeth Renter, they explore how ongoing policy whiplash — from tariffs to spending bills — is fueling market volatility, price instability, and stress for financially savvy households. They share strategies for cutting through the noise, including setting boundaries on news consumption, sticking to the fundamentals of budgeting, and staying focused on what you can control. Then, Shannon Bradley, a NerdWallet authority on auto loans and car buying, joins Sean and Elizabeth to discuss whether now is a smart time to buy a car. They explore how rising tariffs, depleted inventory, and market unpredictability are reshaping the auto market. They also discuss when buying makes sense, how to tell if your current car is worth holding onto, and tools to assess financing tradeoffs. Plus: used car loan interest rates, prioritizing transportation in your budget, signs it's time to replace your car, and how to budget for future vehicle purchases.

Shoot us a Text.The auto industry breathed a sigh of relief yesterday as it was announced that they will be exempt from the 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods. Plus, we're looking at the cars that hold their value the best, and Google's push towards AI search.Show Notes with links:The auto industry is temporarily relieved by a one-month exemption from the 25% tariffs on vehicles covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). President Trump granted the reprieve following requests from Ford, GM, and Stellantis, with the ultimate goal of shifting production to the U.S.The automotive provisions of the USMCA require that 75% of a vehicle's components be made in North America (up from 62.5% under NAFTA) to qualify for zero tariffs, and mandate that 40-45% of auto parts be made by workers earning at least $16 per hour, aiming to boost North American production and labor standards.Most automotive manufacturers comply with USMCA standards and The American Automotive Policy Council and automakers expressed gratitude for the temporary exemption.Suppliers remain concerned about long-term impacts, despite positive signs for USMCA-compliant parts.Dealers and industry experts view the exemption as part of a broader strategy to encourage domestic manufacturing, but uncertainty persists.“The damage has already been done. For an industry that operates in three- to five-year product cycles, this level of day-to-day uncertainty is debilitating.” — Glenn Stevens, Executive Director of MichAuto.Last week we covered the cars with the most depreciation, and now, Kelley Blue Book has announced its annual Best Resale Value Awards, highlighting the top performers of 2025.The top 10 vehicles are projected to retain an average of 58% of their original MSRP, compared to the market average of 44.6%.Toyota dominates the list, securing four of the top ten spots, including the #1 2025 Toyota Tacoma with a projected 64.1% resale value.The full top 10 list includes the 2025 Toyota GR Supra (53.7%), 2025 Porsche 911 (53.8%), 2025 Toyota RAV4 (53.9%), 2025 Honda CR-V (54.4%), 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class (56.6%), 2025 Ford Bronco (57.0%), 2025 Toyota 4Runner (60.0%), 2025 Toyota Tundra (60.9%), 2025 Chevrolet Corvette (61.0%), and 2025 Toyota Tacoma (64.1%).Google is accelerating its AI integration into search with a new feature called AI Mode, adding a chatbot-like experience directly to the core of Google Search.AI Mode, currently in testing, is only available to Google One AI Premium subscribers and must be enabled in the Labs section of Search.The feature offers a search-centric chatbot experience, delivering AI-generated answers directly from Google's search index with supporting links throughout.AI Mode uses the Gemini 2.0 model, aiming to improve Google's ability to handle more advanced queries while providing real-time data and web interaction.While concerns remain about Google's shift away from traditional website linking, Stein asserts that AI Overviews anHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Auto originations have picked up industrywide even as average payments remain elevated, while manufacturers are increasing incentives to move inventory.  Originations totaled 6.4 million contracts in the second quarter, up 0.7% year over year, according to the latest data from TransUnion. The return of leasing and an uptick in incentives are helping address affordability concerns and drive sales.  As of October, the average transaction price (ATP) of a new vehicle landed at $48,623, up 1.7% YoY, according to Kelley Blue Book. New-vehicle incentives climbed to 7.7% of ATP compared with 5% of ATP in October 2023. Meanwhile, auto loan demand weakened in the third quarter while banks' credit standards remained steady.  In powersports, inventory levels continued to build as sales declined 6.3% YoY in October, according to BMO Capital Markets data.  Synthetic identity fraud also is a rising concern in the powersports industry, with an uptick in fraud contributing to stolen RVs and mirroring concerns in the automotive finance industry.  In this episode of the “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris and Associate Editors James Van Bramer and Ashley Savage discuss trends in originations activity, pricing and the powersports market.

Unless you live in an area with public transportation or walkable infrastructure, having a car is essential. Unfortunately, buying a vehicle can be quite an expensive and long process. Here are some tips to save money and cut down on stress when you go car shopping.    Links:  Shop now and get pricing at Edmunds, cars.com, and Kelley Blue Book Check out the vehicle history with Carfax Check out TCU University for more financial education tips and resources!  Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!  Learn more about Triangle Credit Union  Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.      The first thing you'll want to do before you ever step foot in a dealership is to do your research. What kind of car do you want? What features are important to you? Once you have figured that out, look online for the average price of your dream vehicle. Websites like Edmunds, cars.com, and Kelley Blue Book will not only show you what a reasonable price is for the vehicle, but also where you can buy that vehicle for the best price.   Another thing to consider while shopping for a car is its fuel efficiency. Vehicles with higher miles per gallon save you tons of money in the long run. If you live in an area with electric charging stations, consider buying an electric or hybrid vehicle to save even more on powering up your car.    Buying a car used rather than new will save you thousands of dollars. The second a new car is driven off the dealership lot, it depreciates. Cars also depreciate over time, so you can use this to your advantage when looking for an affordable car.    However, there are a couple of things to look out for when buying a used car. Check the history of the car. You can do this on websites like Carfax, which will tell you how many owners the car has had, if it's been in any accidents, and more. You should also check the mileage on the car; if it's high, that might cost more for repairs down the road. Before buying a used car, take it to a trusted mechanic to ensure nothing is wrong with it.   See if you can negotiate the price. Some dealerships are willing to lower the price; just make sure to do your research first. If you notice anything wrong with the car you're planning on buying, bring it up with the salesperson. They might lower the price or offer to fix the issue.   When shopping for a vehicle, it's especially critical to avoid impulse buying. Take your time to research the car you're interested in. Look up if the car has any known issues. If you're at the dealership, ask to test drive the car to get a feel for how it drives. If you do impulse buy, you're at risk of paying more than what the car is worth which can severely impact your financial stability.    If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Bradley and Angel Gross Key Takeaways Diversify lead generation and acquisition strategies to combat slow traffic and sales. Leverage organic SEO and strategic partnerships to enhance visibility and customer flow. Invest in a robust referral network to generate consistent, high-quality leads.     The Power of Diversification in Lead Generation Independent dealerships often face the challenge of attracting sufficient traffic and generating leads. For Angel Gross and her dealership, 144 Motors in Goldsboro, North Carolina, this is a pressing issue. With a goal of increasing their monthly sales from 8-10 units to 20, diversification in lead generation strategies becomes essential. Sean V. Bradley, president of Dealer Synergy, emphasizes the need for multiple avenues to generate business opportunities. "You need leads that, like, as someone your size, you need opportunities to do business," Bradley asserts. He highlights a comprehensive approach, suggesting online classifieds like Autotrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, Kelley Blue Book, and Edmunds. These platforms offer inventory-based opportunities by syndicating your listings, exploiting the SEO potential through Vehicle Display Pages (VDPs), and driving traffic directly to your dealership's website. However, Bradley also warns of the high costs associated with these services, which may not be cost-effective for smaller dealerships. For instance, Autotrader could charge up to $10,000 a month for their 'bells and whistles,' an investment that may be unrealistic for independent dealerships with limited budgets. Therefore, evaluating each service's cost-benefit ratio is crucial.     The Strategic Use of Organic SEO and Partnerships In the digital age, having a robust online presence goes beyond just having a website. For 144 Motors, Bradley suggests focusing on making their digital footprint more effective through organic SEO and strategic content creation. He advises against over-reliance on paid Google Ads, which are not cost-effective given their low click-through rates. Bradley emphasizes, "You should have a website that is designed the right way for your small business… focused on organic search engine optimization." This involves optimizing content on the dealership's website, such as creating dedicated pages for special financing and bad credit solutions. These pages can significantly improve organic search rankings, making it easier for potential customers to find the dealership. Moreover, Bradley champions leveraging strategic partnerships with local businesses to enhance visibility and generate leads. Establishing relationships with motorcycle dealerships, RV dealerships, and power sports dealerships can create a mutually beneficial arrangement where both parties profit from referrals and trade-ins. For instance, dealerships might receive vehicles that motorcycle dealers do not want to keep, thus broadening their inventory without the high costs associated with auctions and transportation. Bradley states, "The auction is the worst thing for you guys." He explains that buying cars directly from local businesses or the public provides a more cost-effective and sustainable solution. By focusing on relationships and building a localized network, dealerships can secure better inventory while reducing operational costs.     Building a Robust Referral Network Referral networks can be a game-changer for independent dealerships, creating a sustainable flow of high-quality leads. Bradley passionately believes in investing in a robust referral program that motivates individuals to bring potential buyers. "You have got to develop a referral network… I don't know if I'm going to break my neck for $200. But you're telling me I can make $700 by giving these people two deals?" Bradley's insight underscores the need for substantial financial incentives to compel potential referrers to actively participate in the program. To illustrate, Bradley suggests targeting individuals with significant social reach, such as bartenders, tattoo artists, waiters, and other local business employees who interact with numerous people daily. These individuals can act as ‘informants' who bridge the gap between the dealership and potential buyers. By offering higher referral fees, even on a temporary basis, dealerships can stimulate interest and increase the volume of qualified leads.     Through diversification in lead generation, strategic SEO use, local partnerships, and a robust referral network, independent dealerships like 144 Motors can navigate slow sales periods and reach their sales goals. By integrating these approaches, the potential for sustainable growth and market presence becomes more attainable, ensuring the dealership's long-term success. Engaging in continuous assessment and adaptation of these strategies will keep the dealership ahead in a competitive market, driving consistent customer traffic and sales.  

The EV tire sector is red-hot – and for good reason. Kelley Blue Book reported there were 1.2 million EVs added to the car parc in the U.S. in 2023, bringing the market share of these vehicles to 7.6%. S&P tells us that in the U.S., 2024 and 2025 will have over 130 new vehicle launches, with over half of them electrified. Tire manufacturers aren't taking their collective eyes off of this data, with some putting a lot of effort and R&D into finding ways to stay ahead of the market and hone in on the needs of EV customers.Sharing his thoughts on a recent episode of What's Treading, Shawn Denlein, president of sales and marketing at Kumho Tire USA, discussed the company's two latest EV-specific tire lines – the Majesty 9 Solus TA91 EV and Crugen HP71 EV – and how these lines fit into the EV tire marketplace."Our goal is not only to meet but exceed the expectations of EV drivers," Denlein says. "Kumho wants to be the new benchmark for performance efficiency and reliability in the EV market."On this episode of What's Treading with Tire Review, Denlein dives into Kumho Tire's strategy behind designing tire lines exclusive to EV drivers, how important the EV marketplace is to Kumho Tire, and some of the standout technology found in the company's latest EV tire lines.Tire Review: www.tirereview.comAAPEX: www.aapexshow.com

Hey Strangers, #car #electronic #buy There are plenty of climate and air quality reasons to buy an electric vehicle (EV), but is it cheaper to drive? While this is a complicated question that has befuddled car shoppers for years, in most cases, an EV will indeed be cheaper in the long run. And with automakers slashing prices for EVs in the past year on top of federal incentives for eligible buyers, you may even be able to score a bargain up front. Let's sort out the details. Sticker prices for electric vs. gas cars According to data from Cox Automotive (parent company of Kelley Blue Book), the average price paid for a new EV has fallen significantly—in September 2023, it came down by $14,300 over the prior year. This amounted to a cost of just $2,800 more than the average paid for a new gas-powered vehicle. And with the EV market growing rapidly, the price margin is expected to shrink even more in the coming years as manufacturers produce more affordable models and improve battery technology, the most expensive part of an EV. ======================================= My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** Epic Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRjVc2TZqN4&t=4s ************************************************** article links: https://www.nrdc.org/stories/electric-vs-gas-cars-it-cheaper-drive-ev https://www.caranddriver.com/shopping-advice/a32494027/ev-vs-gas-cheaper-to-own/ ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangers Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

Shoot us a Text.Day 2 with Cirillo and we figured some marketing wrap up was still in store. We are also taking a look at the much-talked-about Buick Envista and celebrating the life and accomplishments of Bob Kelley.Show Notes with links:Buick, GM's semi-luxury brand, is experiencing a significant sales resurgence thanks to the new 2024 Buick Envista.Buick, celebrating its 125th anniversary, has a rich history of innovation and design.The 2024 Buick Envista is leading the brand's sales increase, especially in the U.S.In 2023, Buick sold 167,000 vehicles in the US, moving it up just ahead of Cadillac among GM's four brands in this market.Almost 70% of Buick buyers are new to the brand, indicating strong market appeal."It sells faster than the vast majority of GM products," said Edmunds analyst Ivan Drury.Bob Kelley, former publisher of Kelley Blue Book, passed away at 96. Known for his humor and tech-savviness, Kelley led the publication's digital transformation.Kelley spearheaded Kelley Blue Book's transition from print to a comprehensive online resource, making car pricing information more accessible.Under his leadership, Kelley Blue Book expanded to include imports, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, mobile homes, and classic and collector cars, broadening its influence.Kelley began his career at the family-owned Kelley Kar Co., where he honed his skills in appraising and selling used cars before becoming publisher of Kelley Blue Book in the 1960s.According to his son-in-law Charlie Vogelheim, he had a sense of humor about the online transition and would say, “If you drop the book, it still works.”Cox Automotive, which acquired Kelley Blue Book in 2010, praised him as "a true pioneer in the automotive industry,” saying "Bob's impact has been immeasurable… His passion for informed decision-making will always guide us."Nilay Patel, editor-in-chief of the Verge, is challenging that ‘Google Zero,' the moment when Google stops sending traffic to third-party websites, is here.Google Search has dominated the web ecosystem, driving traffic and ad revenue.Websites rely on Google Search, Chrome, and advertising technologies for their business models.Smaller sites like HouseFresh are struggling as Google changes its algorithms.HouseFresh managing editor Gisele Navarro detailed the impact on their traffic and business.“I often joke that The Verge is the last website on Earth, but there's a kernel of truth to it.

How do you know it's the right time to buy a new car? Are there signs to recognize the need for an upgrade or replacement? If you're on the fence about whether to start looking for a new car, there are a few things to consider first before jumping into the process.   Links:  View the Consumer Reports article for more information  Check your car's value with Kelley Blue Book   Check out TCU University for more financial education tips and resources!  Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!  Learn more about Triangle Credit Union    Transcript:  Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.  To buy or not to buy. That is the question.   Most of us have a car. We use our cars every day. For many people, it seems they're getting a new car every other year. But for others, determining the right time to replace an existing car can be challenging. Have you been mulling over it for a while or rather lured into it by that recent commercial for a brand-new luxury model?   If we want to make the right decision when it comes to buying a new car, it's important to make sure we're making it from a reasonable perspective rather than an emotional perspective.   How do you know it's time? What are some of the signs you're ready for a trade in? According to an article by Consumer Reports, there are a few reasons why someone might start their search for a new car. These are: you want to save money, you're concerned about safety, or you want more features in general.   We'll start with the first one, Saving money:  Cars always cost something to run. You'll pay for fuel, maintenance, repairs and insurance – the list can keep going. Is your car getting too expensive for you? Are you dishing out hundreds or thousands of dollars for repairs every year? This might be the time to consider trading it in.   But is paying the price of a new car worth trading in the existing one? The sticker price of a car is in the tens of thousands where repairs could be in the hundreds, maybe thousands. Do the math, compare your car's value by checking Kelley Blue book .com and compare that with the amount of money you've been spending in repairs.   If the value of the car is less than the amount of money it'll cost to repair, then it's most likely time for a trade in. If the car is only in need of low-level repairs or maintenance that doesn't cost too much or you could even do yourself, then it may be wise to keep it around for a few more years.   The second one to address is if there are concerns about safety.  If the car can't get you reliably from point A to point B then it's time to start looking for a new one. But even if an older model is still reliable, it's also important to review the quality of the safety features of that car.  Newer models have upgraded safety features like blind spot alerts, backup cameras, refined airbag technology, frame design, and braking systems with improved capabilities to keep passengers safe. Older models lacking those designs might not be as trustworthy in accidents or situations.  Consider the safety of your existing vehicle to determine whether it's still meeting all the safety needs of your family. If safety is important to you, then upgrading to a newer car may give you better peace of mind because you'll know your car is equipped to protect everyone traveling in it.   The third reason you may consider a new car is just for more features in general:  Older vehicles provided many things that seemed cutting edge back in the day but have now pretty much gone obsolete. Today, there may still be an occasional car with crank windows, a cassette player and even an ash tray.  But many of today's drivers have no need for those features and are now interested in other things like new GPS capabilities, voice commands, built-in navigation, and other automatic features. As new models roll out, manufacturers are adding newer and more sophisticated technology to improve the driving experience.  If you like the idea of heated seats because you're driving to work at 3:30 am on a snowy morning, a newer vehicle will have just what you need.  Some people are okay driving with older features and foregoing the new tech for a bit to save some money, but if after a while you find you're in need of some more improved tech, then it may be time to trade in.  To wrap up, determining why you want a new car in the first place helps provide better insight into whether it's the right time to start the process or to wait for a little bit.  If you have made the decision to find a new car, or a new to you car, we've got you covered.

A WSJ article highlights a recent study showing that car dealer markups significantly contributed to the 16% increase in the consumer-price index over the past few years. Study was written by Michael Havlin, who previously worked for the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics but wrote the paper on his own accordCompared the Producer Price Index (wholesale price) to the Consumer indexNew car inflation contributed a full point to the overall numberA recent study published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City argues that markups across industries accounted for more than half of inflation in 2021, with firms raising prices in anticipation of costs increasing later. (McKelvey!)“It is “absurd” to argue that dealers contributed substantially, or even at all, to inflation”, an NADA spokesperson said. “By that logic, every consumer who sold or traded in a used vehicle for more than its Kelley Blue Book value profiteered off that sale and thus bears responsibility for contributing to consumer inflation.”Heather Bernikoff and David Raboy were told by their local dealership that the Ford F-150 Lightning they ordered for their cattle ranch would have a $10,000 markup due to its high demand and limited supply. They ended up getting one from a dealer 2.5 hrs away that didn't have oneThey recently joined advocacy efforts to pass a bill in the California legislature that would prohibit dealerships from marking up EVsThe AN list of the top used car dealers in the country has been released and Lithia has claimed the top spot with over 311k used vehicles sold. #2 is AutoNation with over 299k, followed by Penske with 261kNoted that Carmax is no longer on the list since they sold their only franchised dealership and the list is exclusive to franchised dealers. Carmax sold 810k used vehicles and wholesaled 590kDel Grande Dealer Group jumped the most spots (27) from 86 to 59Garber Management Group had the highest used to new ratio at 2.8Tesla scored a significant legal victory in a California state court, as a jury ruled that the company's Autopilot feature did NOT fail in a crash while the software was engaged.The plaintiff was seeking over $3 million in damages, alleging defects in Autopilot and airbag design, but the jury awarded zero damages.The jury decided that Tesla did not fail to disclose facts about Autopilot's limitations as the company continues to emphasize that Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems do not make cars autonomous and drivers must be prepared to take controlExperts say that although this decision doesn't have legal authority over other similar cases, it will significantly inform the outcomesOthers are drawing attention to the fact that the limitations of Tesla's autonomous features are still far from being fully autonomousGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

What should dealers be thinking about when it comes to digital retail and eCommerce? Is one form of sales better than the other? Emily Chonko, Director of eCommerce at Cox Automotive, joins the podcast to answer pressing questions on the future of car sales amidst changes over the past few years resulting from inventory levels, consumer buying habits and the pandemic. As a child, Emily developed a passion for motorsports through racing Quarter Midgets. She accredits this passion for ultimately leading her into a career in automotive. Since the early 2000's, Emily has worked for Cox Automotive, initially supporting Autotrader magazine. For the past ten years, she has primarily focused on helping retailers digitize their sales process through Digital Retail and eCommerce (hear more about the benefits, but complexities of this newer endeavor in the episode!). She's also held roles in sales leadership and performance management at Dealer.com, Kelley Blue Book, Dealertrack and Autotrader. In this episode you'll hear Emily's take on: The distinction between digital retail and eCommerce How eCommerce methods will require dealerships to create a different customer experience than digital retail requires How dealers can begin implementing that retail process Finding equity in relationships (and how that helps women in the industry!) Why you should constantly network in this industry How employers can promote DEI with positions that meet employee personal needs like family first policies (or flexibility needs) For more about Emily, visit her LinkedIn profile.
