After two years of low inventory, a buyer’s market has returned for 2025. New car inventory is rising in March 2025. Inventory exceeds historical norms, following a few years of shortages. This is GREAT news for new car buyers on the hunt for a deal. Dealers have an excess of leftover 2024 models right now, and that makes them even more likely to work with you on a deal.
Here are important definitions that will help you understand and interpret the data:
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 Insights and Cox Automotive.
Let’s dive in!
Cars with the Most and Least Inventory in March
Finally, after years of volatility, new car inventories are climbing above historical norms. We wouldn’t quite call it a buyers market since the average selling price remains well above what anyone would call affordable.
As we can see below, Stellantis brands have the most inventory, followed by GM and Ford among the mainstream automakers. Toyota and Honda have the least inventory, and as a result, the least negotiable prices.

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?
