New Car Inventory in 2025: Winners and Losers in October

Key Takeaways

  • New car inventory is rising in October 2025 as economic uncertainty and price hikes lower demand.
  • Toyota and Honda have the tightest supply of new cars.
  • Local car supply data is available for the best negotiation leverage.

In October 2025, U.S. dealerships have 2.83 million new vehicles in stock, representing an increase from this spring’s car buying rush.

Retail sales of new vehicles have followed seasonal patterns this year. Although trade wars, global instability, and broader economic conditions have all added complexity to today’s car market, 2025 has mostly been good news in terms of inventory.

Here are important definitions that will help you understand and interpret the car market data below:

Market Day supply: This is the number of days needed to sell all vehicles in inventory, based on the previous month’s daily selling rate. Learn more about MDS.

Inventory: This is the unit count of vehicles on hand at dealerships, factory lots, ports of entry, and in transit.

All data is sourced from CarEdge Pro and Cox Automotive.

Let’s dive in!

    Hey, I just thought of something you might want to share. I’m tentatively waiting on a new Lexus that “should” arrive mid February. My credit union has great rates now on auto loans. It dawned on me to call them and see if I go ahead and get approved on the amount I may need to borrow, will that lock in this rate and if so, for how long? I’m worried that rates could go up a little soon. They answered that my approval would be good for 60 days at the stated rate at approval.
    SO….. I’m going to go ahead and apply for the loan now to lock in this current rate while waiting for my car to arrive. This might be worth passing along .

    Do you plan on updating the February numbers? I really enjoyed this info and would love to see you continue to update the numbers monthly if possible?
