WTF is wrong with people trying to buy cars now???

OT Baw 1: "Dooood I need (IE want) a new truck/car now"
OT Baw 2: "Ya they are offering me a zillion billion more than I paid for my OT Baller 1500 LT Z71"
OT Baw 3: "you hafta buy a sedan to get a good deal now"
Dealer baw: "non yall getting a good deal but write a check anyway"
Seriously, per the numbers, all used cars are 25% overpriced and used trucks are more like 50% overpriced. Who in their right mind cares what their 2015 truck is worth, the 2021 is just as overpriced and out of stock???
Last month my car got totaled (in a parking lot no less) and I'm holding off until this BS cools off.

You might be holding off for a while.

Maybe that's why carjackings are up

if they offer you more than the car is worth, then it's understood that the sale price is higher than it should be.

I'm buying my wife (no pics) a newish SUV; it's a dealer loaner and they're making us a great deal on it. It has 3500 miles on it and we get all of the new SUV warranties.....the discount on it is at least $6K bc it's a loaner.
We're trading her car in so we care

Yep I know of two people in my neighborhood selling their houses at huge profits and they don’t even have another one lined up. Just going to move in with friends abd the other is moving into a duplex they own. Made $100k on their house in just two years. Real estate in my area is easily up 25-30% over the last two years.

You are still taking it in the can right now...no matter how good a deal you have convinced yourself you are getting...do you can sleep

Soooo, I'm guessing you drive around in your little car sipping on soy latte's

I have a used truck id love to trade in, especially at current prices. Problem is id have to pay a real premium for another truck. So it’s all relative.
I can wait for it to cool down and then my trade in isn’t worth a shite and a new truck is still priced high. Not sure what I’m going to do at this point, but holding out for it to “cool off” doesn’t seem like a great strategy either if you really need a vehicle.

You can try to convince yourself that car prices are going to decrease all you want, but it’s never going to happen.

Man, I am in a spot where my car has 150k miles on it and my wife has about the same. We are having some issues with both to where we are putting money in each month to fix and have decided to get out of both. It sucks that it fell during this time, but what do you do.

This board’s keenest investors has been waiting for “the prices to drop in Lakeview, that bubble is way too high” since 2014
How has that worked out?

You are going to get 20% more on your trade in then normal, and turnaround and pay 20% more on the new one. It’s a wash
As long as you have something to also sell, you don’t “get screwed” during times like this
The people getting screwed are first time homebuyers, first time car buyers, etc

$7,000 * 20% = $1,400
$35,000 * 20% = $7,000.
Not exactly a wash.
