The largest auto-auction company in North America, Manheim – running about 8 million used vehicles through its auctions and online venues a year – points out the demand for basic used cars in its auction report for November: The used-vehicle retail market is backed by a large and liquid wholesale market where rental cars, lease-turn-ins, repos, etc. But used-vehicle sales will be about 40 million units, sold by franchised dealers (such as Ford or Toyota dealers), independent used-vehicle dealers, and individuals. In 2018, new-vehicle sales will be a tad over 17 million units, retail and fleet combined.
Turns out, where cars are hot is in the used vehicle sector – particularly bread-and-butter cars that people can afford. Obviously, when you look around there are still a lot of cars on the streets. Who can blame them?” But have Americans really given up on cars? Nope. “This is the reality that recently drove Ford and GM to announce plans to further reduce car production. “Every time we think we’ve hit the bottom in car market share, another month passes with trucks and SUVs gaining while cars lose,” he said. Automakers have slowed or stopped production, so inventory is down, and buyers are mostly looking at trucks and SUVs,” said Karl Brauer, executive publisher of Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book, cited by Auto News. “The market continues to abandon cars, with no end in sight. The collapse of new-car sales has caused Detroit automakers to shut down assembly plants in the US over the past two years, with GM being only the latest and repeat shutdown-and-layoff announcer. But new-vehicle retail sales were down 1% year-to-date. And in total, fleet sales were up 7% year-to-date through November. A lease counts as a sale because the dealer sells the vehicle to a leasing company, a lender, or the automaker’s own finance company, which leases it to the customer.Īlso note that the dominant buyer of cars are fleets, primarily rental car companies, but also other companies, and governments. These are deliveries of new cars and trucks by dealers to their customers, and by automakers directly to large fleet customers. Since 2014, new-car sales have plunged by 31% but new-truck sales have soared by 38%: This is the fourth year in a row of declining new-car sales. Car sales are now down to 29% of total sales, the lowest share on record in US history.

No UV's only planar projection on each part.The price of going upscale: New cars are too damn expensive, and Americans aren’t buying them anymore.īased on new-vehicle sales data this year through November, plus my own estimates for December, for the year 2018, sales of new cars plunged 13% to 5.5 million units and sales of new trucks (SUVs, compact SUVs, pickups, and vans) surged 8.3% to 11.8 million units. The largest map was 128x128, and that's right on the edge of killing the C2 engine, I remember (FPS drops), each part must have it's own texture map or something, it was a mess. I almost went with the "F1" style physics only meant to go fast and smash things, but then I've thought it'll be cool to make it hard to drive too. Not sure when as I don't want this to take more time than it's worth, but it's on my to-do list for sure.Ībout the handling, yeah it's a piece of, if you want to drive it straight turn on TC (forced) and it's kind of drivable, at least enough to smash some traffic head on.
Given the low number of downloads and how unpopular this car is, I'll release a pack of similar vehicles in the future.
Glad to read these comments, sure made me laugh! LOL, I should've set up the rear axle properly, will make sure of that on the next crap I'll release
