I think people have unrealistic hopes for discounts. Partly because I've been window shopping auctions and partly for theoretical reasons. Just because car sales are down doesn't mean the people who aren't buying cars now are going to change their mind because of a slightly lower price. So I doubt it's in the interest of a savvy seller to change their asking price much. If you're selling mundane utilitarian cars, then lowering your price isn't going to increase the number of essential workers who just got their car totaled and need to buy now. And if you're selling sporty toys to people who are financially unaffected by current events, maybe you could increase sales a little with discounts, but maybe they are by definition buying anyway, so why bother?
