The auto industry is facing a pricing crisis, with skyrocketing costs affecting both new and used cars. Since automakers are focusing on larger, more profitable vehicles, the market for affordable vehicles has shrunk.
The pricing crisis in the auto industry is due in part to pandemic-induced inventory challenges and the chip shortage, which has led automakers to focus on increasing profits.
