dalemiller+FollowCar Dealerships Are Quietly VanishingAnyone else notice car dealerships are starting to look a little... empty? Turns out, more of us are buying cars online, skipping the awkward showroom dance. Profits are still high, but the old-school lots are shrinking as big groups take over and digital sales become the norm. Some family-owned spots just can’t keep up with the tech upgrades and are closing for good. The next time you buy a car, you might not even set foot in a dealership! #Cars #CarBuying #Dealerships131Share
Michael Wilson+FollowCar Dealerships Are Disappearing FastWild stat: new car sales have dropped 45% in the last decade, and now even century-old dealerships are shutting their doors. Family-run spots that survived wars and recessions are being wiped out by high costs, slow sales, and the EV shift. It’s not just cars—motorcycle shops and parts stores are vanishing too. Main Street is losing those familiar showrooms, and the whole way we buy cars is getting a major shakeup. Anyone else miss the old-school dealer vibe? #Cars #AutoIndustry #Dealerships222Share
Charles Brown+FollowCar dealerships and the trade-in trapGetting a lowball offer for your car at a dealership can feel like a slap in the face—especially when you discover similar cars are selling for three times as much online. That’s exactly what happened to one TikTok user, who was offered just $5,500 for her trade-in, only to find out the same model was listed for nearly $17,000 elsewhere. She called out the dealership for trying to pocket a massive profit and even turned the tables in negotiations. This story really makes you wonder: are dealerships being fair, or are they just hoping you won’t do your homework? #Entertainment #CarBuying #Dealerships50Share
James Smith+FollowHarley-Davidson Dealer Wipeout: 4 States Hit HardHarley-Davidson just axed over 600 dealerships, and if you’re in California, Texas, Florida, or New York, you’re feeling it the most. We’re talking 180 closures in CA alone! The company blames a $377M sales slump, but for riders, that means way fewer places to test ride, get service, or snag merch. Local economies are taking a hit too. Is this the end of the Harley era in these states? #Cars #HarleyDavidson #Dealerships1815Share
