In this episode, I discuss the current state of the automobile industry. To prop up new car prices, subprime lending has exploded in recent years as dealer inventories have increased. Dealers have pushed greater incentives and extended the term of car notes to attract borrowers of lesser creditworthiness. Used car prices declined nearly 4% in February, setting the stage for what I believe will be further declines. In an economy where people have leveraged themselves to the hilt, the automobile market may be the first domino to fall.
