They're increasingly buying used.
Edmunds predicts certified pre-owned sales
will hit their highest-ever level in the U.S. auto
industry in 2020, reaching 2.81 million vehicles. That's driven largely by broader automotive
industry trends such as high sustained leasing volume and penetration, along with the
growing price gap between new and used.
