Here’s What Happened To New Lincoln Inventory In June 2025

For quite some time, Lincoln inventory levels remained near or atop the entire industry, which is obviously not ideal. For quite some time, Lincoln’s days’ supply of inventory was more than double the industry average, in fact, though it has improved significantly as of late – declining from a 127 days’ supply in March to 87 days in April. Lincoln inventory dropped ever so slightly in May as well – down to 86 days – but Ford’s luxury arm went back in the wrong direction in June, though the same can be said for the industry as a whole.

According to the latest data from Cox Automotive, new Lincoln inventory levels swelled all the way up to a 112 days’ supply last month, which was behind only Jaguar, Dodge, Ram, and Hyundai. That figure is also far higher than the overall industry average of 82 days, which isn’t great news for Lincoln. The same problem befell Ford, which had also seen its inventory levels shrink as of late, only to grow back to 101 days in June.

Cox Automotive notes that inventory across the entire automotive landscape is building, largely due to the arrival of 2026 model year vehicles, but is still 1.4 percent lower than a year ago. At the beginning of July, there were 2.83 million new vehicles sitting on dealer lots, which is 14.5 percent more than the 2.47 million units at the beginning of June. That increase applied to most brands on this list, and due to slowing overall sales, the average days’ supply of new vehicle inventory grew by a whopping 12 days over that same timeframe.

“As inventory levels rise and new model year vehicles begin to populate dealer lots, the automotive market finds itself in a delicate balance,” Cox Automotive noted. “Supply growth has not been matched by demand, pushing days’ supply higher, and average listing prices have largely plateaued. With incentives holding relatively firm as well, shoppers can expect a market marked by incremental change rather than dramatic shifts. Tariff negotiations have been kicked down the road for another three weeks, which means it could be the fourth quarter before we see any significant movement in overall consumer prices. For now, patience remains a virtue, and attentive consumers may find value by tracking nuanced movements in pricing and inventory as the year progresses.”
