Another huge month.
I've been shopping for awhile and finally bought a 4R this past weekend (pick up next weekend). Waited until now to try and get a good deal on a 2018 as the inventory is bled out.
Since I'm a data geek, I've been tracking inventory levels of total 4Runners and specific configurations (mainly TRD Offroad) using cars.com/cargurus since April, pulling data every Monday (or Tuesday if Monday is a holiday).....national inventory levels and then 500, 200, 100 and 50 miles from where I live on the east coast. Obviously cars.com data is not 100% solid, but at least it indicates trends
Things I've noticed:
- National 4runner inventory level dropped to it lowest level on Sept. 4 since I began tracking in April
- National inventory dropped from 16,915 on Aug. 27 to 15,793 today
- This 1 week drop of 1,122 was the largest 1 week drop since April
All what you would expect with the new 2019s coming, but this week was the first really big drop...also likely aided by Labor Day sales
