Am I crazy or is this the worst time ever to buy a vehicle?

I believe that's called Supply and Demand.

It’s literally supply and demand, and slow moving msrp fucking perception up. Car dealers are the new Ticketmaster.

So in the case of Porsche, where the supply side are also poopoo heads. How does that work?

In the case of Porsche, it's still demand side driven. The supply (Porsche) may be poopoo heads, but there are still more people that DGAF about that than there are cars.

At least their product is still compelling and top of class. Can you imagine being treated in a similar way at a Kia dealership?

The good news for anyone who's feelings are hurt (or don't understand supply & demand) is Chrysler and Ram are still offering huge rebates

Even Infiniti was getting uppity with me.

I'm like, who the fuck do you think you are?

[you&me]

It's funny, out of my recent experiences with dealerships & ordering new cars, it's the domestic and 'normal' brands that think their shit stinks the least.

I’m still chuckling that Lexus thought I was going to buy a car that they managed to lock my wife in and needed to engage the emergency release 3 separate times during a demo.

Followed by you saying, “Do you know who I am? I demand to talk to the manager, right now!”

I think with the way interest rates are going, demand is going to tank shortly in Canada. And then all of our used cars will get exported stateside, causing even more problems here.

Fuck Porsche and their greasy lame tactics

Not sure how they run under the same umbrella as the rest of the VAG. None of the other brand have nearly as shitty of a buying experience.

Sorry you were mistreated by fellow VAG brethren. Let me know if you want a good connection. He may or may not be able to get what you want, but at least he will give you good service.

I asked my sales friend at the dealer here in Edmonton. He said it's impossible and there is one coming into Edmonton dealer and it's for a VIP. I did buy some raffle tickets for the PCA draw as that's probably my best shot at getting one.

VIP right here.

Maybe not THE vip in your post....but a vip nonetheless. lol

[killramos]

If anyone deserves car dealer VIP status it’s you bub

Your frequent flyer miles are off the charts

The dealership I drive by everyday seems to be finally filling up with stock. Hopefully the average new car drought is coming to an end, and deals can be had again.

i fully expect 12 months of artificial scarcity where they have stock but lie to make it sound like they’re still struggling to justify their bullshit dealer adjustment markups

Nah. 2% higher Interest rates will take care of that one.

You think people can afford an extra $175 a month on their payment?

I thought it was for their electric cars only?

[BavarianBeast]

Most of the cars I’ve been watching on Autotrader are priced high but nothing seems to be moving much these days. Maybe we will see some $100k trx’s this summer

[killramos]

I think things have peaked and some segments are already softening.

Personally.
