Not sure if you knew about this but car manufacturer sometimes build too much cars and they can't sell them. The cars end up in gigantic parking lot and probably stay there forever.

Urban legend. It would make no sense for carmakers to keep paying for all that space indefinitely. When demand abruptly falls, like during the last recession, new cars sat for longer than usual, but it was months, not years. They will find a buyer, even if they have to settle for a fraction of the car's value. Anything is better than paying for storage and letting the cars depreciate further. Many of the pictures you see come from ports, taken of cars waiting for shipment to the destination country, which is something you'll see even when sales are moving normally.
