Data from Cox Automotive, reported by Auto News, says that there are an estimated 1,953,512 vehicles sitting unsold on right now. That works out to a 53-day supply – which is up 75 percent from the same time just one year ago. It’s also up very slightly from a month earlier when supply stood at 1,928,619 vehicles. Cox reportedly generates this data by looking at the sales rate from the previous 30-day period.

The big reason for this 53-day average supply comes down to one thing: EVs. According to the outlet, those vehicles have a 103-day supply. That makes it the only segment other than to have supplies on the other side of 100 days. However, Cox does point out that were close at 99 days, but that’s not really that surprising.

From Auto News’ reporting, it can be asserted that inventory levels were the lowest among lower-priced vehicles, and stock seems to grow in proportion with price. That’s not too much of a surprise.

Auto News reports that among the seven automakers who still report monthly sales and inventory figures, six saw their days’ supply level increase last month between one and four days. Only stayed level.

At $39,995, Would You Give This Supercharged 1982 Ferrari Mondial 8 A Second Look?
The Mondial 8 has never represented Ferrariat its finest. Today’s example certainly does look right dressed in its traditional coat of red, but will one-hundred additional supercharged ponies seal the deal in making its price look attractive? In much the same way you might swipe left on a Tinder...

At $11,000, Is This 2005 Lexus LS430 'Ultra Luxury' An Ultra Good Deal?
If luxury isn’t enough—since only ultra luxury will do—then today’s Lexus may just be the car for you. That is, if its price isn’t ultra ridiculous. Many of you found yesterday’s fto be weird—an affront to your sensibilities even. That’s apparently not the case for everyone, as these trucks...
