I don't know about your area, but most dealers in my area are *out*.
When the strike was announced, newer used car prices *soared*.
They knew the new car supply would be cut soon, and the public would
have to either turn to used cars or (gasp!) another dealership.
When the strike was announced, all GM dealership ads on the radio
pretty much ceased.  Dealer's market.

Well know, I know of a dealership that has *3* cars left.
well, that was yesterday, they're probably gone by now....
