The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1231: Paul sits down with Cars Commerce's Brian Kramer to break down how 2025 is ending and what dealers should expect in Q1 2026. The big themes: used car supply shifts, EV-heavy off-lease inventory, and why clarity beats cleverness heading into next year.Used car supply is finally climbing out of a multi-year trough, but it won't look like the past. The next wave of inventory is coming largely from leases signed during COVID-era production constraints.EVs will make up a bigger share of used inventory whether dealers “lean in” or not, driven by EV-heavy lease returns and rental fleet activity. Dealers won't really have a choice.Winning dealers are shifting focus from “look to book” to appraisal volume. If you sell 100 cars, you should be appraising closer to 200—automation is no longer optional.AI search engines are already fact-checking dealer websites against reviews, Reddit, and third-party content. Multiple CTAs, overpromises, or messy workflows can quietly tank visibility.Kramer sums it up with one word for 2026: clarity. Simple workflows, fewer claims, and actually delivering on what you promise online is now a competitive advantage0:00 Intro with Paul Daly2:07 Brian Kramer joins the show4:02 How used car supply finished 20255:05 Why EVs will dominate off-lease inventory6:50 What winning dealers are doing differently9:22 How AI search is changing dealer visibility11:43 Why clarity is the defining theme for 2026Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1223: Cars Commerce lines up its next CEO as a new chapter begins for dealer tech. Lucid's factory-backed used pricing puts EV depreciation in plain sight. And even as consumers keep spending this holiday season, a growing “joy deficit” reveals how tired—and cautious—shoppers really are.Show Notes with links:Our good friends at Cars Commerce are teeing up a major leadership transition. Longtime CEO Alex Vetter will hand the keys to Tobias “Tobi” Hartmann in early 2026, marking the end of an era and signaling a renewed push around growth, digital tools, and AI for dealers.Hartmann brings 25+ years of experience leading global marketplaces, most recently as CEO of Scout24 and previously at HelloFresh and eBay Enterprise.Alex Vetter, who has been with Cars.com since its 1998 launch, will step down after transforming the company into a vertical SaaS and marketplace platform for dealers.Under Vetter, Cars Commerce expanded through acquisitions like Dealer Inspire, AccuTrade, and DealerClub, strengthening its dealer-facing tech stack.Alex Vetter: “I'm confident that Tobi will continue our momentum for the next chapter of firsts. He will be a tremendous leader for this next phase of growth.”Lucid just launched its first factory-backed used-car program, and the pricing is doing more talking than the marketing.Lucid Recharged is the brand's certified pre-owned program for the Air sedan, with the Gravity SUV coming later.Eligible cars must be single-owner examples under 62,000 miles and pass a 160+ point factory inspection.Pricing is the headline: a 2023 Air Pure with ~20,000 miles can land in the mid-$40Ks versus a new MSRP just under $71K.Consumers are still spending this holiday season—but they're not exactly enjoying it as a new Retail Dive report says shoppers are leaning heavily on credit and BNPL.Katie Thomas of the Kearney Consumer Institute summed it up bluntly: there's a “real joy deficit for consumers,” driven by high prices and constant anxiety-focused messaging.Despite steady spending, consumers are fatigued, stressed, and increasingly reliant on credit, resale, and “dupe” gifting to get through the holidays.Shoppers feel stuck in an echo chamber of stress—online, in ads, and in daily life—where everything is expensive and brands keep reminding them of it.“Getting emotional doesn't have to be serious,” Thomas noted0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier6:05 Cars Commerce Announces Leadership Transition9:52 Lucid Launches CPO Program12:31 The Joy Deficit In RetailThank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

CarGurus' Kevin Roberts breaks down the current state of the auto market, noting how tariffs did not impact pricing as much as anticipated. The expiration of EV tax credits pulled sales into Q3, leading to a sharp Q4 drop. While regional variations exist, hybrid vehicle demand is rising, with Ford (F) shifting focus from pure electric vehicle production to hybrids. Affordability remains the primary concern for consumers, making vehicles under $30,000 highly desirable in the current market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

What if your biggest car-buying mistake has nothing to do with the car? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, host John Rush and engineer Luke Cashman reveal hidden traps in the used-car market and why this format goes deeper than a live call-in show. Is your vehicle a tool or an identity? John challenges emotional buying and offers a clear, strategic process to separate needs from wants before shopping. Why is there no 72-hour return in Colorado? Why does buying on a Friday night—or when desperate—almost always cost more? And why can a newer, high-mileage highway car be smarter than a low-mileage "grocery-store car"? The discussion sharpens as John reveals dealer red flags, including nonrefundable deposits and misleading reviews. He stresses researching the dealer as much as the car, and covers financing strategy, private sales, negotiation, and why cash isn't as powerful as buyers believe. Most chilling: modern car scams. With AI voices, cloned websites, and convincing fake listings, how can you avoid wiring money for a car that doesn't exist? John shares examples—including a Porsche buyer who lost $25,000—to explain why you should never buy a car you can't inspect yourself. This episode is a must for anyone looking to outsmart the used-car market, save money, and avoid buyer's remorse. Listen now to equip yourself with the strategies and insights you need before your next vehicle purchase.
What really separates a smart used-car purchase from a costly mistake? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, host John Rush—an automotive industry expert with decades of experience—pulls back the curtain on what most buyers get wrong—and why rushing the process almost always leads to regret. He is joined in-studio by engineer Luke Cashman. The conversation starts with mindset. Is your car a tool—or part of your identity? That distinction, John explains, can quietly sabotage your decisions. He walks listeners through a disciplined approach: define needs vs. wants, shop for at least 30 days, and avoid emotional choices in emergencies. Why might renting for a month save thousands? Why are Friday-night purchases among the worst mistakes? John also dispels common myths, such as the nonexistent “72-hour return rule,” then explains why highway miles are easier on a car than low-mile city driving. Next, the episode covers one of the most critical—and dangerous—areas: online listings and scams. How are even experts losing tens of thousands of dollars? Why can't you trust AI-generated photos, calls, or videos at face value? Listeners are warned about non-refundable deposits, fake dealer listings, and deals that seem “too good to be true.” John lays out rules: never wire money, never buy sight unseen, and always verify who you're buying from—dealer or private party. He explains how to use time wisely, negotiate, and even pit dealers against each other. This episode isn't about finding a car. It's about avoiding the wrong one. Are you buying wisely, or setting yourself up to be the next cautionary tale?

What do a used car salesman and your sales energy have in common? In this heartfelt and surprisingly hilarious episode, Heather shares her daughter's first car-buying experience to reveal powerful lessons about selling from a place of service—not pressure. Tune in to learn how authenticity can transform even the most "salesy" moments into meaningful, trust-building connections. Key Takeaways: The energy behind your words—not just the script—determines how people feel about your "pitch." Selling doesn't have to feel gross; when done from genuine service, even "Please buy this today" can feel kind and caring. Confidence is built through small decisions and real-world experiences—watching someone grow into that is powerful. Not everyone in sales is pushy—there's a big difference between get energy and give/service energy. How to Support the Podcast: Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers China's interference in the New York City mayoral race, the stalled government funding battle in Washington, new data showing a resilient U.S. economy, dangerous foreign truck drivers on American roads, and spy games unfolding in Silicon Valley. China Meddles in the NYC Mayoral Race: The Chinese Communist Party is boosting socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani on TikTok while suppressing content from rival Andrew Cuomo. Bryan calls it “bonkers” that America still allows a Chinese propaganda platform to shape its elections and urges Congress to shut it down immediately. Democrats Block Government Funding Again: The Senate has now voted twelve times to reopen the government, and twelve times Democrats have said no — rejecting a bill to pay essential workers unless new health subsidies are included. Bryan says, “They're holding America's workers hostage for political gain.” U.S. Economy Beats Expectations: Manufacturing activity rose for the fourth straight month, and Trump's tariffs show no inflationary impact. Mortgage rates dropped to 6.19%, their lowest of the year, while consumer spending remains strong among wealthier households. Bryan warns, however, that working-class families are still struggling under high costs. Chinese Knockoff Airbags Kill Americans: At least six people have died after counterfeit Chinese airbags exploded during crashes, sending shrapnel through vehicles. The NHTSA is investigating, with cases tied to used Chevys and Hyundais. Foreign Trucker Crisis Deepens: Indian nationals driving illegally in the U.S. are causing deadly crashes after repeatedly failing licensing tests. Bryan reports on one driver who failed ten times but still obtained a CDL through a corrupt Washington State program. Silicon Valley Honeypot Spies: China and Russia are planting operatives — often young women — inside Bay Area tech firms to steal AI and defense secrets through seduction and marriage. Bryan shares a chilling real-life CIA story illustrating the tactic's human toll. AI and the Power Problem: OpenAI's massive Texas data center will now run on its own natural gas plant, while the White House expands geothermal energy projects across the West. Bryan calls it “good news for your electric bill — and bad news for America's enemies.” Good News for U.S. Workers: Provalus, a call center company, is bringing jobs back from India to rural America, paying $40,000 salaries for customer service roles. Bryan says, “It's proof that good business and good patriotism can live in the same company.” Medical News — Social Media and the Brain: New research shows teens who spend more time on social media score lower in reading and memory tests, suggesting digital overstimulation harms brain development. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: TikTok China interference NYC mayor race, Zohran Mamdani Andrew Cuomo, Senate Democrats block funding bill, Trump tariffs manufacturing growth, U.S. mortgage rates 6.19, Chinese counterfeit airbags NHTSA, illegal Indian truck drivers Washington State CDL, Silicon Valley honeypot spies China Russia, OpenAI Stargate Texas natural gas, geothermal energy leases Nevada Idaho, Provalus rural call centers jobs, social media brain research teenagers
