Have you bought a car in the last 6-8
months?
It’s not about gouging… they won’t having anything to give you a deal on, you’re going to pay within $500-300 of sticker on new, and late model preowned is a considerably higher cost than what it would have been 1.5 to 2 years ago. And that higher cost is still the deal being FAIR *based on current market values.
I haven't and won't. I'm not dumb enough to buy during a supply crunch.
I still wouldn't pay over MSRP. Son's car is an 18 GTI with 20k miles, mine is a 19 with 25k miles, wife's 20 Outback has 16k miles. I'd normally start looking to get rid of the 18, but it's got low mileage and the market is stupid right now.
