#1 I suspect the dealers have enough inventory for our impending Great Recession II.

#2 Producer Price Index for August just released by BLS-- very bad 0.8% month to month, almost all of this increase is goods, little is services

#5 Have not bought an American car in 30 years, and even then, the car was assembled in Mexico.

#6 On average, U.S. autoworkers on assembly lines earn something like $28 to $33+ p/hr depending of skills and seniority.

CCost Dictates Prices.
Example given: The new Ford truck MSRP prices are:
King Ranch $73,425
Platinum $73,425
Raptor $77,980

Basically the UAW wants more $$$$$$$ for a worker screwing on nuts and etc... Which the UAW leaders will likely work out a private deal to line a few pockets. While some minor added worker $.00 is added. The leadership will get a pay raise.

LSD's who step in to oversee the negotiations will be rewarded with more union collected retirement dues for they campaigns or pockets.

NOW ADD
The LSD's openly stated conflicting environmental tree-hugging agenda to eliminate Fossil Fuel powered vehicles by 2030?

Sorry,Detroit .
I'll be buying a totaled wreck with side door area damage with <50K miles for $4 to $6k at a Auto Auction for the Motor & Trans and other parts that I may need and strip it.
