  1. Consumer expenses are finally seeing some financial relief, but this does not necessarily correlate to more money able to be spent on a vehicle.
  2. Interest rates will continue to rise over the next few years as they return to more normal averages. This, too, will impact vehicle affordability as consumers have taken advantage of historically low interest rates the past few years.
