re: Buying a vehicle: with supply chain issues, is negotiating even a thing nowadays?

You'll get higher for your truck than you would have normally, but not sure your truck will make up the difference on how much higher you will have to pay for a new car. Used cars are crazy too, and some higher than new cars. Crazy.

There are some good dealers that are not going too crazy above MSRP, but you'll have to find them. That is really your best approach, as they are probably still paying pretty good on trade-ins.

Obviously it all depends on what you are looking for, and how long you are willing to wait. If you burnt bridges with your typical approach, then it might also come back to bite you in the butt now, as a salesman doesn't have to deal with that crap atm.

I do wonder how the used car market in 3-5yrs will be with how much people are paying for vehicles right now. Right now, in the used market, I think we are seeing an affect from the cash for clunkers deal.
