  "account": "2027 model-year vehicles are arriving at dealerships slower than previous years, which could benefit buyers looking for deals on 2026 models. As of August, only 12.4% of new-vehicle inventory consisted of the upcoming model year, according to CarGurus data provided to Business Insider. This departure from the norm, which previously saw around a quarter of dealership inventory being for the next model year, is attributable to various factors such as the Covid-era assembly-line shutdowns and chip shortages, as well as big-name vehicles receiving refreshed designs at different times. While some brands like GM, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda have already shifted to their 2027 models, others like Kia, Cadillac, and BMW are still in the process of transitioning. The slower model-year switch could lead to more stable prices, as dealers aim to sell remaining 2026 models before introducing the newer vehicles.",
  "summary": "There aren't a lot of 2027 model year cars on US dealerships. That is bringing down car prices, and could lead to some winter deals.",
