Issue is the dealership deals made with the auto manufacturers. Inventory on hand is often times (not including some of that bs that had dealerships marking stuff way over msrp) only set up to make the dealership a few thousand in profits.

For any major price reductions that are really needed, the auto manufacturers would have to be giving the vehicles to the dealerships for less money.

In other words, ford will have to drop prices for dealerships to drop prices.
