Relatedly, there is interesting indirect evidence that the US market is dominated by "Spiders Georg" ("SUVs Georg") outliers that should not be counted. The SUVs Georg buy/lease new SUVs, crash them in 1-5 years, then buy/lease new SUVs. The used market sees a strange fraction of SUV sales and interest in SUV ownership compared to the new market, but the car companies don't sell to the used markets they like the high profit margins of the SUVs Georg.
- decafninja 4y agoI don't think you even have to analyze that deep. "Mainstream buyers", who in this day and age, mean CUV buyers - will go to a dealership and lease a new CUV every 3 years. As you said, these are the ones that make money for the manufacturers. Not the enthusiast who waits 5 years to buy his dream sports car used.
