"Automakers' Incentives Bring Relief to New Car Buyers, But Used Car Market Remains Strained. As the affordability crisis continues to grip the nation, new-car buyers are finding some temporary reprieve in the form of lower interest rates and reduced monthly payments thanks to generous incentives from automakers. However, those seeking to purchase a used vehicle are not so fortunate, with prices remaining stubbornly high and few options available to ease the financial burden. As consumers struggle to make ends meet, the disparity in support for new and used car buyers raises questions about the fairness and effectiveness of current market policies."
In the midst of this affordability crisis, new-car buyers can get a bit of a break on rates and monthly payments from automaker incentives. Used-car buyers, however, do not have that option.
