Used Car Prices Should Fall as New Car Sales Pick Up Later This Year
February 14, 2022 - It hasn’t been an easy start to 2022 for the auto industry, but there are reasons to be bullish the retail market will turn around by year’s end, or sooner.
“All of our data shows us that we’ve we found the bottom at the end of Q4 (in 2021), and we think the first half of 2022 will be a gradual build—inventory will slowly start building,” Mike Darrow, president and CEO of TrueCar said.
While Darrow sees the new car market coming back strongly by the end of this year, he also sees the used car market remaining strong, perhaps longer than it will take for the new car market to fully rebound. As a result, used car prices should remain high until new car sales ramp up significantly.

Hertz Will Release Records on Rental-Car ‘Thefts’ That Weren’t
February 13, 2022 - A Delaware bankruptcy court judge ruled this week that Hertz will have to back up, publicly, its claims that as many as thousands of people rented its cars and then stole them.
Everyone seems to agree that there aren't actually thousands of people stealing Hertz rental cars each year. The problems are more bureaucratic, such as when Hertz doesn't know where a particular car physically is and so thinks it is missing.
These kinds of problems can pop up if renters switch cars during a rental, or if they extend their rental period. Even problems with credit or debit cards can generate a theft report in Hertz's system, which then are sent over to local law enforcement. Soon, the public will get to see some of these reports and other data.
