As dealer inventory shrinks because of production stoppages, I see prices going up. Transaction volume may shrink, but dealers know how to do one thing very well. Make money.
Prior to the virus, the consumer was very healthy - employed, high savings, low debt. Once the virus haze clears I see a strong economic rebound.

Let’s see what happens but I’m in the camp of 100% opposite. A global recession is brewing, prices won’t go up, especially on luxury items. None of us need these cars, we like them, they’re fun... as we reprioritize and some people lose handsomely there is zero chance demand increases and it will be well below supply, regardless of how hindered supply is. My 2 cents.
