A friend was trying to buy a new Ford Transit AWD. What a crap show. Ordered Nov 2021, Told in June 2023 that they definitely wouldn't be betting a 23 but maybe a 24. Options and pricing of the 24 were not available. They gave up and bought a used one.
 
Yeah my sister's partner waited 8 months for her Rav4 Hybrid. Within 2 months they were calling to buy it back for same price she paid, promising 2 months wait for another one or immediate if she didn't care about black.

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

Yup. Had this conversation with a friend yesterday who was under the impression that car prices were skyrocketing like crazy. As far as I can tell, MSRP has been increasing at a normal rate, and it's only used prices that are going nuts. Problem is a lot of people don't plan ahead or are impatient, and then get stuck buying used when they finally need something. I'm perfectly fine to wait a year for a C8 if I can get it at MSRP. Only problem now is that they've discontinued my favorite colour, Elkhart Lake Blue.

Average vehicle price is climbing fast. $66K was the recent number I heard. Not sure if that is mostly because Civics start at more than 30K or because of all the C-8s and pickups at six figures.

Plus higher average price of hybrid/electric cars, and subcompact cars are sadly almost extinct now. Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta, Mazda2, Chevrolet Sonic/Spark, Nissan Micra etc...

I had a Mazda2 sold it cause it didn’t have AC.

Bought a micra that is an amazing little car. Never even think about the price of gas when I need to get somewhere

The subcompacts are switching to an suv/crossover shape.

Hyundai has the Venue, Nissan Kick, VW Taos, etc

Unsurprisingly, those all cost far more than the cars they replaced. For instance, Taos starts at 30 (top trim is 40), 2021 golf started at 23 (top was 28). The market probably wouldn't have accepted a 10K price increase but if you repackage you can pretend it is different.

It is what it is, cars are just plain not selling. Ford really had great foresight in 2018 to outright say they were going to stop selling cars and focus on suv's

A C8 starts at $78,000 if you wanted to order a base model with no options (and it's well appointed). With the supply shortage, if you're not waiting for a factory order, you're at the mercy of whatever the dealer orders, and that's going to be something that makes them the most profit, which would be a fully loaded vehicle. My point was that the actual MSRP for a car that is still in production from before the pandemic/war/etc. has not risen drastically.
