| #3 Deceptive newspaper ads. Dealer has ad for lower cost vehicle but only stocks a couple at the beginning of the month ...you show up and they 'hard sell' you for a more expensive model because they (quote) don't have any left (un-quote). |

| #2 We've been hearing about "channel stuffing" for years. Dealers being forced to take delivery of vehicles they know they won't be able to sell because nobody wants the overpriced things. The car lot is full, but do they have the model with the options you want? Probably not. The "industry" will moan that the strike is bad for them and their future, but I'm sure lots of people in management see it as a time to whittle those existing inventories and close some excess capacity while putting the blame on the union. Not that some of that blame doesn't belong there. |

| #1 Since many locations depend on each other for items and/or the need generated to produce them. Watch the UNION Unemployment #'s and negative economical trickle down affect of this poorly timed UNION stunt has on other union and non-union locations. Hell the Union strike might even end up saving the Auto Makers $$ Millions in the long run. I say poorly timed, given many dealer lots are loaded with unsold overpriced 2023 and some 2022 vehicles. |
