He shares:
“But we’re not seeing used car price increases at the retail level, suggesting dealers are having to pay more but aren’t seeing higher prices when it's time to sell. This potentially means profit margins for dealers are compressing.” Regardless of the details, we do know based on history that price hikes and price drops don't last forever.

If dealers really are having to pay more for these vehicles, they'll likely attempt to raise prices to compensate for their falling margins.
