Thumbs up A silver lining from regarding F-150?

Ford has released a lot of news regarding the economic fallout of COVID-19 on their manufacturing. I appreciate their transparency. I think I found at least a glimmer of positive news from a recent press release:

Even if the trucks production numbers remain somewhat strong, the buyers with reduced or no incomes will have an affect on selling numbers. Fuel prices will no doubt climb if production falls off due to reduced labor again affecting a good chunk of new vehicle sales.. Even with assistance programs, I’d bet available capital will go for basic needs over new transportation...

Give it time, there will be a glut of vehicles on dealer lots when people start struggling making ends meet.I think availability of vehicles is the least of our worries.

No matter the status of the economy, 84 months is a LONG time to finance a vehicle.

If a vehicle cannot be paid off in 48 months, a person cannot afford it and should not buy it. Personally, if I cannot pay cash, I don't buy it.
