The new and used market is still somewhat predatory. Increasing interest rates don’t help.

In the past, I’ve practiced buying left over stock from dealers after the new year vehicles have been on the lot a month or two. Dealers have been willing to deal to make room for the new vehicles. Especially profitable for me when the vehicle I’m buying is of a previous generation. To cut interest costs I’ve paid them off within a year.

Will that work today? I haven’t a clue. I’m not in the market currently. My T4R is an ‘18 and I have a ‘12 Subaru. I’m well into my senior years. I’m hoping that my timing will mean these are the last two vehicles I will ever need.
