🚗 JOE THE CAR GUY – AUGUST AUTO MARKET UPDATE 🚗
🔹 Acura – Consistent as always. Lease programs, pricing, and inventory remain solid.
🔹 Audi – The all-new Q9 is on the way! Three rows, huge screens, luxury everywhere… I think it’s going to be a big hit.
🔹 BMW – 2026 inventory is getting low, which usually means stronger support on incoming 2027 models. More inventory means more color choices instead of settling for what’s left.
🔹 Buick / Cadillac / GMC – Nothing major changing this month, but there are still strong opportunities available.
🔹 Chevrolet – A quiet month so far, but if GM rolls out aggressive incentives, I’ll be sharing them immediately.
🔹 Ford – Employee Pricing has ended (so no more pretending you work for Ford 😂). Broncos continue to lease extremely well.
🔹 Genesis – The GV70 continues to be one of the best luxury SUV values on the market.
🔹 Honda – Reliable, steady, and always a smart choice. Nothing huge to report… yet.
🔹 Hyundai – Still one of the strongest brands this month with excellent lease programs and plenty of inventory.
🔹 Infiniti – QX60 inventory is strong, which usually means great pricing opportunities.
🔹 Jeep – Hoping for a big month. If Jeep rolls out aggressive lease programs, you’ll be the first to know.
🔹 Kia – Kia pricing can be tricky. I’ve helped customers save thousands compared to dealership offers. If you’re considering a Kia, reach out before signing anything.
🔹 Land Rover – One of my favorite luxury brands. Great opportunities continue to be available.
🔹 Lexus – Inventory continues to improve. If you’re trading an RX350, there’s still strong demand.
🔹 Mazda – The CX-5 and CX-90 continue to be two of the best SUV values available today.
🔹 Mercedes-Benz – GLC and GLB remain the stars of the lineup with competitive lease programs.
🔹 Nissan – The Rogue continues to offer outstanding value and affordable lease payments.
🔹 Porsche – Gas-powered Macans are becoming harder to find. If you’ve been thinking about one, now may be the time.
🔹 Subaru – One of the smartest choices for AWD, reliability, and value. Expect another strong month.
🔹 Toyota – Inventory is improving, but don’t expect major discounts on high-demand models like the 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and hybrids.
🔹 Volvo – There may be some attractive XC60 and XC90 T8 programs, especially for current Volvo owners with loyalty incentives.
