How not to lose in todays car markets

Being in the business for over 9 years and seeing all the ups and downs of the car market and the buying seasons I have not experienced anything like this before. New car stores are going out of business more than ever before due to the shortage of vehicles and parts supplies. Vehicle shortages are caused by chip shortage, lack of human resources and government shutdowns.

 

What does this mean for you?

 

According to Consumer Reports:

 

Short supply of vehicles in the market topped with high consumer demand, are driving pre-owned market prices up. Current prices are 42% higher than they were in the first quarter of 2020. With the auction prices not decreasing day over day, waiting to make a purchase is going to cost more.
Some indicators and market experts are estimating the chip shortage could continue through to 2024 and it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when it will end according to an article in CNBC.
Consumer searches for pre-owned cars are double what they were a year ago. Cars are moving faster than ever before – consumers are advised to move quickly if they see a car they like.
If you have a vehicle to trade in, it’s the best time to do it now. The value of your vehicle has been going up as the market is going up. But more unique, low supply and more desirable vehicles are going up faster.
The moral of the story? Don’t wait when you see a car that you like, past buying experiences are outdated in the current market. Waiting costs, especially when prices are still on the rise. You don’t want to miss out on a vehicle or have to pay more when you can get the best deal now.

If you have any questions or perhaps additional insights please feel free to reach out. We are all navigating this odd market together.

One of the BEST experiences I’ve had buying a car online. Corey was phenomenal in keeping me updated with the car, its feature and transporting the... vehicle since I was buying from out of state. He hooked it up with warranty packages, extra key, enclosed transportation. I purchased my 2021 Mercedes S580 from perfect auto and I will be buying a lot more cars from this dealership. Shipping was fast and communication was on point. A+ I’ll be returning soonread more
Amazing place! I searched for six months looking for that perfect Mercedes SL550. The condition of this car was so nice it was crazy! I made the... deal over the phone and then drove from Pittsburgh to Akron to see it. Within 5 minutes I knew it was a done deal as in person it was NICER than online! They sent me on my way with a paint protection package, a full tank plus snacks!!! Top flight operation with impeccable cars! Highly recommend.read more
Awesome Collection of Vehicles
Perfect Auto Collection is different. I’ve bought my fair share of cars from dealers in IL, IN, MI, OH, and all over the Midwest. Most are the same.... Predictably doing everything they can to make car buying difficult. The team at Perfect Auto Collection is different. They made our car buying experience enjoyable, easy, and tailored to our needs. I would buy from them again and again and I didn’t even mention the amazing collection they curate for their buyers.read more

Perfect Auto Collection was a great find. I was in the market for a gently used luxury sedan with as much horsepower as possible. My searches... brought me to Perfect Auto Collection. When I visited their facility, I was impressed by the selection and the personnel. They had many awesome vehicles that fit what I was looking for, and I did end up purchasing one. The product specialist, Hayk, was a pleasure to work with, very responsive and knowledgeable, and very professional. Also, the sales manager and finance professionals were top notch. I've already been telling friends and family about this jewel of a collection on Tallmadge Ave., and I would recommend them to anyone looking for amazing and well-priced options.read more
