The banks have repossessed a lot of cars. Banks who have a claim on these cars do not want to start auctioning them off at a lower price because that would be admitting a loss. So the banks will delay. That is why this man is saying to wait.

This is the opposite of inflation, so it must be a good thing, right? President Biden must be doing something right for once!

Capitalism's inherent economic factionalism goes *deeper* than this.
To begin, either you *have* money (discretionary-income), or you *don't*.
If you [1] *do* have money, then your interests are with the continued and increasing *value* behind whatever given face-values -- appreciation. (*Less* additional value diluting the total pool.) (*Rentier* capital / non-productive / rewarded with interest and/or rent payments from the pre-existing economy.)
If you [2] *don't* have money, then your interests are for *cheap, easy* money, as with more *face-values* / currency, at cheaper terms, to be *flipped* into a higher-rate vehicle as rates rise overall. If employed, wages may become *money*, like pensions, which are then more-*propertied* interests, paradoxically. (*More* additional values streaming into the pool to create velocity.) (*Equity* capital / commodity-productive / rewarded with surplus labor value, possibly indefinitely.)
