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.

On the flip side of the coin are c. They reportedly have the s.

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. I mean, who really has the money to buy an expensive car right now? Exactly. No one does. Another interesting little factoid is that and have nine of the top 10 nameplates with the smallest supply.

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.

Would You Pay $5,500 For A Rare Fancy-Pants 1988 Yugo GVX?

The 2016 Honda Civic Coupe Touring Might Be A Reborn Prelude
I’ll be honest, I haven’t given Honda too much thought the past few years. Growing up, they were a shining beacon of quality and design. In recent years, I hardly even bother to remember them, except for when I see the occasional candy-colored Fit. This new , though, has woken...
