In this video I talk about how the US Auto Industry could be hurt by Chinese auto manufacturers.
My name is Brandon and I am a used car dealer. I created Car Questions Answered to share the ins and outs of the used car market from my perspective. I share with you updates on car prices, what's happening at the dealer auctions, and what it's like being a dealer. My goal is to share information to help you make the best decisions while buying a car to save you money. I do not want car dealers taking advantage of you.

Talked with someone tonight who just bought a new Chevy Trax. She has had nothing but trouble with it, and the dealer treats her like crap. Telling her to turn the features off if they don’t work. 😡 She was saying that it was cheaper than other used cars on the lot. When American manufacturers put out crap and treat their customers poorly, it will just open doors for the Chinese and other imports.

Yup - Toyota, Honda and Nissan cleaned the US carmakers' clock in the mid 70s because the US brands were complacent and had quit trying to build affordable, good quality cars. May well happen again with Chinese cars. Ford, GM and what used to be Chrysler have been too busy selling expensive and inefficient trucks and SUVs to respond to an obvious and coming threat. EVs have been on the mass market for 13 years now. Sandy Munro has been warning the auto industry for years. If legacy makers fail or see their market share shrink, they did it to themselves. Just like the 1970s. I have no pity for their incompetence.

American car companies refused to make smaller ICE cars because of their lower profit margins in smaller cars. China is already selling a tons of consumers goods in the US which are supported by American Companies. American car companies can make affordable EVs but they refuse to make them. They can form a partnership with Tesla or BYD and then provide affordable cars (EV and ICE) to the American car buying public. The American EV car companies have targeted the higher end of the EV buyers to make a higher profit for them and their stockholders and investors.

@@dominiicp whats wrong with having American made manufacturing? We know during the pervious president factories were relocating from overseas back to America, including Ford from Mexico. The point i believe hes making is having manufacturing here allows jobs, reinvesting into the community the factory is located in, and a pride in what the nation creates. Not to mention the difference in worker rights from country to country If you dont have domestic product and only import "cheap products" your economy is not going to fair well compare to others.

my car was stolen in North Las Vegas this morning - around 7:30am - i had half of my amazon route (about 20 packages) still in the car - they hopped in while i got out to bring the customers package to the door, and within that 20 second time frame they jumped in the car and drove away. The LVMPD (Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department) recovered the vehicle about 7 hours later around 2:30pm. But they only gave me 30 minutes to come pick it up and obviously i couldnt get there within that time frame - so they towed my car. Now i will have to pay hundreds of dollars to the tow company to get my car back tomorow. Fuck Vegas. So many degenerates in this city..

It's funny when dealers explain why they bid up franchise dealers' vehicles over small dealers' vehicles... I'm a dealer out of Chicago, and I've went to auctions from the top of the Midwest to the bottom. I've seen vehicles from franchise dealers that had issues after issues and was a trade in... and not to mention the repo vehicles. Even when these vehicles run on a red light, dealers go crazy with the bids...and several of them bid on them without a test drive. I can show you post sales after post sales to prove that dealers for the most part are crash test dummies that follow the popular dealerships with blinders on at these auctions.

Just go research them in other Asian market. Don’t know why anyone would spend their hard earned money on low quality product from that country. Just do research on China at this current moment in time and why they are dumping cars here. Look at the state of their economy. For me, this is just to bring awareness. Spend your money how you want.
