Yea, I'm calling BS. Rates have not increased 13x.
No, but rates have gone up a lot. And higher rates plus economic worries means fewer buyers. So if you combine the higher interest rates with vehicles sitting in the dealership's inventory a lot longer, then I could see how the numbers would make sense. If rates are 3-4x what they used to be on top of vehicles taking 3-4x as long to sell

Exactly, When you sell a car before it even hits the floor plan it's 0. Now cars are sitting and sometimes the rate goes up the longer thane car sits because it's deemed more risk for the bank as it gets older.
