"Deals" are always relative to how you look at the big picture and your purchasing power.

If dealers decide to slash prices 2-3%, offer 0% financing, etc. but your portfolio just took a 25% hit, job is at risk etc. then the car is actually probably "more expensive" for you now than it was a month ago.

I'm sure you'll get dealers trying to move a ton of inventory ASAP once they come back online in the states that are shutting down "non-essential" businesses.

But this shutdown is unprecedented. Who knows how long it will last. You still have supply coming in (cars tend to take 2-3 months to go from factory to ship to dealer lot) so you may not feel the supply constraint until the summer. If the crisis has passed and people are spending again then I don't think dealers will be offering deals...actually they may be in a strong position at that point. If the crisis hasn't passed at that point, well then we'll have much bigger worries than dealer discounts...
