Marc Bland, S & P Global Mobility's head of new business development and growth audiences, joins Auto Trends with JeffCars.com, the only syndicated multicultural automotive program in North America, to analyze the used car-buying trends of ethnic and non ethnic car buyers by makes and models.
In light of the current tariffs and as consumers lean toward buying used vehicles, this insightful conversation will give car buyers context as to what's hot and possibly what to steer clear of if saving dollars is top of mind. Listeners will also gain insights as to how car-buying buying habits differ by ethnicity and the importance of diversification for both dealers and automakers in terms of vehicles they stock.
