I am having a difficult time beliving that auto sales are down. I have been looking at a nissan pickup, paying cash, and not a single nissan dealer has showed any effort in selling a vehicle. They are saying that business is good. They have not seen a decrease in sales.
Am I the only one surprised to hear this?

article is figuratevely nice but in this downfall of ecomony do we have any analysis how much the downfall in the auto sector is as compared to fall in other sector’s of the market i thnik myself after consultation with bruno from AskaMarketTechnician helped me understanding the real fall in relative terms and that helped me to invest better.
