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

Got a call last week from the dealership we bought the wife's SUV from (Used). Sounded desperate. Wants to buy the car back for $6k more than what we paid, 30k km more on it.

Was trying to negotiate a trade for a lightly used SRT Durango they had. The wife killed it when he mentioned the V8 powa. So close.

Man I drove the SRT Durango before I bought my X5 and ya that thing from a dig is sickening. Too trucky for me though.

I didn't even get to see it in person for test drive

I had the wife sold on more roominess and styling etc. No coming back from 6.4L V8 even though the guy mentioned the MDS yadda yadda.

As a low class guy, the Durango is a good minivan alternative. V

How did this thread get to 57 pages … it should been a one word answer

Yes / closed

Might be ending though, dealers are starting to get stock in and lots are slowly filling up. Maybe by November?

Feb '23? Best time ever to buy a car thread? Maybe

I’m thinking 2023 might be a very different year.

Not sure what the timing lag will be for the true fire sale of underwater purchases though. That can take a while to fester.

I've expanded a bit. I was waiting for the Defender 130....but it looks like it doesn't come with captains chairs. I'm actually going to take a look at an Aviator this week because a friend insists. Otherwise, I'll let my family continue to thrash the current ride as long as I can resist getting them something new to destroy and disrespect.

There's bound to be some overcorrection in the market but I think the best time will be until late 2023 or 2024 depending on how many more outbreaks affect China supply chains going forward. We will likely hit a point in a couple of years where the chip supply will outgain vs demand with new manufacturing facilities opening around the world between 2024 and 2025. It will be interesting to see which automakers have learned valuable lessons during the last few years and which ones will go right back to operating like it's 2020.

Wat?!
I thought you sealed the deal on that Infiniti! There was a post somewhere that certainly seemed to indicate that.

if so, that version of Buster was lying.

Inflation will ensure prices never come down. Another 20% in the next 2 years seems likely. Base model civic will be $60k.

Oh wow, Aviator prices are pushing close to $90k. Not sure how I feel about purchasing a sheep in wolf's clothing. I'd save a bunch of cash and pick up an Explorer ST.

[killramos]

Planning for inflation is a fools errand.

Nominally I think 2023 will be a healthier market than 2022 or 2021 have been

Not a lot of cars these days that aren’t brand engineered anyway
