TrentonMakes Posted February 8, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 8, 2019 I guess I haven't checked in a while, but I believe a graph of stock market performance over the same period looks pretty similar. Though I guess a little less rosy over the last year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeman564™ Posted February 8, 2019 Share #6 Posted February 8, 2019 2010 through aboot 2012 were big years for us in sales, but that was ramp up after the shutdowns. Since then we've grown slightly but mostly steady over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted February 8, 2019 Share #7 Posted February 8, 2019 2 thoughts. That's the 10 years after the global meltdown and lots of things have recovered from a very big low. Lots of people kept old cars because of the meltdown and have begun replacing them with new cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted February 8, 2019 Share #8 Posted February 8, 2019 So, how long can we keep the 10 year growth cycle going. I've never really suffered in a recession, but obviously some do quite bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but probably more specifically, how many SUVs or trucks can we expect him to buy? Car production is likely way down across all factories.

Someone needs to buy one so that when you are ready to buy that used one it's on the market. I love people that create used cars for me to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy a used truck make sure you check on how many times it's been in the shop for a transmission repair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there with you. The biggest car I've owned is a Civic. Never had a SUV, truck, or van. I've owned 4 cars since I got my first in 1987.
