Have to buy a car

[Anonymous]

my car is on its final days. I extended the final days three years but it is time to buy a new car- and it is a terrible time.

I have enjoyed having a hybrid, need a SUV, like leather seats and have no idea what to look at.

Cars are not priced well right now and inventory is low- anything I should focus on? are there any good deals??

What is wrong with the car you have?

Budget? Size? # of passengers? Commute? Vacation road trips? Another Hybrid? Full EV? Luxury/near luxury?

We need more data points.

50k? Seat 5 comfortably? I think I prefer hybrid. Take a few road trips a year but mainly local travel. Lots of soccer practices and games. One kid will be driving in 2 years

Rav4 prime

I would never pay 50k for a car

You mean the car is costing you, or about to cost you, a fortune in repairs? Because yes, it's an awful time to buy.

Type Hybrid SuV into Google.

There are no good deals now or the next 1-2 years. Rav4 Hybrid is lot cheaper than the Prime. Also look at Hyundai Sorento Hybrid or Tucson Hybrid.

Why do you need a SUV as opposed to let’s say a minivan? I know they get a bad rap but they really are tremendously practical now that station wagons have gone the way of the dodo.

The average new car monthly maymdntvis now just under $700 a month. Are you facing any major repairs? Will you spend more than $8400 in a year to keep your car running for the next year? If the answer is no, drive it as long as you possibly can and hopefully the market will stabilize.
