Yall think the market is softening yet?

I am starting to develop a case of the "I wants" and the absurd pricing for the last couple years has held me at bay so far, but looks like prices are coming down. Catching the odd car way below book value where dealers just trying to offload something, which we haven't seen in a while.

Out here in Vegas, and in Cali, it's still a great time to buy a brand new truck, or a used German car. The cost of living sucks out here, so German cars (Jap cars like Lexus and Acura still seem to sell well) can be had for good deals. I bought my S8 below dealer retail last year. Brand new trucks, especially dodge, can go for as low as 20% below retail. Downside is if you don't have the cash to buy it outright, you're still looking at 7%+ Apr.

At least in my area, Japanese cars still sell well, and dealers are proud of it. I was considering buying a brand new Camry, but dealers wouldn't budge on anything, they wouldn't even consider my "supplier" discount for working with a Caterpillar dealership.

Most used cars go crazy out here, and don't seem to last long. Surprisingly, classic trucks and cars seem to move relatively quick out here, including projects. Then again I'm sure the number of people with disposable income are a little more common out here, although it's still overwhelmingly paycheck to paycheck for most out here.

as stated above prices are calming down for sure but you aren't getting a good rate regardless of your credit score

source - i was a legit 800+, no heavy debt, home owner, and found nothing better than 7% on a new car in October. Granted maybe it's a little better now that was months ago.

I dont see a fall-off in any major way. I think manufacturers have a new floor on cost they need to make, so yesterdays pricing isnt coming back. I always used to look for early lease returns and they are staying high too.

Only deals I have seen recently are private cash sale, some folks trying to get out from under their payments.

The Camaro is a piece of sh!t, it's built on a Cadillac platform! Go look at the Dodge Challenger.
