My coworker ordered a 2023 Corolla in Dec 2022(?)
I think he just got his car, and iirc it's a 2024 now

Not sure how relevant this is if your daughter is in ON, but I drive by the Honda dealer in West Edmonton on the way home from work, tons of new CRVs and HRVs on the lot - way more than other models. Website shows 117 in stock between CR-V, CR-V Hybrid and HR-V at just the one dealership. Almost seems like they're hoarding...
They don't "seem" overinflated, they ARE
Just saw a 2005 Honda Pilot, like mine, with 170k for $8000!
I paid less for mine 10 years ago!

Oh agreed!
The other thing they said, would be about 2 years before things got back to normal. I can't remember exactly why that is now, but they justified it. I just get the impression they are not in a hurry to get inventories up. But it was mentioned other manufactures are doing better, and possibly this will pull the rest of them to get their act together. All seems like BS.
Car dealerships love this. They do not have to hold inventory which costs money. Every car is sold at full profit. Why would they want to go back to the old model?
Relax

Do they? I don't know the numbers, but it seems to me that selling out of a limited amount of cars and turning customers away doesn't necessarily mean they're making a bigger profit compared to having an "unlimited" supply to sell.

Oh I'm sure if you monopolize anything to your advantage it's suppose to be a win, but it's also scummy as hell.

This was also brought up, sales guy mentioned he had a client come over and ask if they had any cars in this "XXXX" price range, nope. They said Hyundai had cars and would go there.
Car buying services are crashing offer prices. I saw one today (in the US) where they offered 19k a year ago and 9K now. Same car, same condition, a few more miles obviously. If they still have inventory they bought at 19K, it will be a rough ride to get it cleared out.
Completely anecdotal. Helped a friend shop for a new car a month or two back.
Went to a Toyota dealership to look at a Highlander (what a POS btw), same response, was told probably a 6 months wait. When it seemed she was interested, was told they had a unit coming in a couple days that was a cancelled deal if she wanted it.
Exact same scenario at the Hyundai dealer where she got a Palisade. Picked it up 4-5 days later.
Speaking to a few friends in the car industry, seems to be a common scenario. As long as you're not picky about a specific trim level/colour and not after a highly sought after model you should be able to find one.

I think margins on used cars have been good recently (as even cars that would previously have been auctioned can now be sold directly for thousands). Margin on new cars has never been great. Some sales people are working hard on churn. Get the retired people that bought a CRV last year to go on the list for a new one and when it arrives in six months, they have both a new vehicle sale and a low mileage newish vehicle to sell used for almost new price for those that don't want to wait.
Except when the dealerships are buying the vehicles and after an employee thrashes it for a year are now listing it as used with a healthy markup.
I priced out a C8 Corvette - convertible, LT2 trim, etc and it was about $109k
Similar trim used one with 20k and 2-3 years old was going for $136k last year
Inventories are still garbage for some dealerships, is she dead set on a Honda? I've seen the dealers outside of Honda / Toyota have full lots of cars.
Many dealerships have a secondary lot where they keep their stock to make the main lot look empty (no proof just hearsay), and we did the same when I worked at a dealership. Main lot was only for show, secondary lot was for all stock to be held.
Many dealers are also only stocking the top trims, as they're the highest profit to them, and not sure if 'Market Adjustment Pricing' is still in effect.
My buddy ordered a RAV4 Hybrid 2 years ago...still waiting, with no delivery date in sight.
