CHICAGO, Jan. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Work-from-anywhere culture, inventory shortages and expanding technology both in the car-buying process and the cars themselves — these are the forces defining the automotive landscape for 2022 according to Cars.comTM (NYSE: CARS), a leading car-shopping marketplace. Despite a double-digit increase1 in overall prices and a narrowing market value gap between new and used cars, consumers are using what leverage they have to get the car they want, the way they want it.
“Our relationship with our environments — work, home, commerce, vacation — they’re all evolving, and personal vehicles are, quite literally, how many of us navigate those environments. So, naturally, the way car buyers shop — and what they shop for — have changed with the times,” said Aaron Brangman, Cars.com’s Detroit bureau chief. “More vehicles are being pre-ordered through dealerships as dealers continue to manage inventory shortages; more consumers are considering electric vehicles now that local personal use has become more of a factor than longer, daily commutes making them more appealing; and perhaps most important, consumer desire for personal transportation remains strong as health and safety are still top of mind.”
