As always, “it depends”.
Do your work. Make calls. Don’t be afraid to walk out

Yes and people are writing personalized letters begging the dealers to sell their dream car to them.

I do not envy your position. I fear we're never going back to lots stocked with cars.
Seems like dealerships may be embracing the JIT model and no longer have to have vast amounts of inventory/financing on their balance sheets.

I have friends in the business. They are laughing their asses off at how much they are making off people.
Do your homework, and try to purchase from a non traditional dealer (online).

Just do the KIA challenge.

Yes, I'm not in the market but I want a new vehicle so I stay looking. Now that the used car market has tanked I can't get as much for my vehicle either.
So it puts me in a worse spot than before, three months ago my car was valued at 22k now with only 4k more miles its valued at 11.3k. Nothing else has changed but the mileage.

Local dealership sells most of their inventory before it arrives. They have to be doing well despite few cars on the lot.

Only if you are willing to pay it.

No clue where you live but Terrebonne Ford has been running ads on tv saying "Come pay below MSRP". Now how much...IDK. Just fyi.

Tbh I would be perfectly fine if the new car industry went fixed price across the board. Here is price..buy or not. Same for all.
Get rid of sales people completely.
The idea they get to sit around and try to screw people all day is pathetic. Cars are a necessity…regardless of the niceties some have.

My friend's wife used to work at a credit union, and she showed us how much the dealerships actually paid for vehicles and then how much they sold them for. It was nauseating to see how much hundreds of percent profit they made. She said she saw this daily, and it was always like this.

I bought a new work car a month ago. I called around, sent emails, all saying what I wanted, cash deal, and I would pay msrp + tt&l, no dealer add-on bullshite. I took a couple days, but I had an agreement before I drove to lot to pick up car. They make plenty of money with msrp.

It’s been common for several years now so it’s just normal.
Car dealers made it happen.
Now people just accept it.

Depends on the automaker and dealer. I was looking at Honda Civics and Mazad3 for the past few months.
One Honda dealer wanted to charge me 5k over MSRP on a 26k Civic, but offered me about 2k over on my trade in value.
Another Honda dealer was charging 5k over MSRP and would drop it to 2500 if you had a trade in.
Mazda dealer wasn't charging over MSRP but tired to add on a 2k "Protection Package".

There are still a few volume dealers that will do under MSRP.
You will have to travel and do an order though.
I know a Jeep Dealership in VA, that is still friendly

No unless you are a sucker, most new vehicles are sold orders then you get to wait on the booming transportation industry.

It used to be second to payroll, still is in most cases
