[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a terrible time to buy a car used or new. Inventory is so low. I would not expect much off msrp. [/quote]

+1  Many popular SUVs are selling well over MSRP at the moment.  I have been offered more money to sell my 2019 Honda CR-V than I originally paid two years ago.  Also, manufacturers, due to the chip shortage, are only making their top-of-the-line, most expensive models to maximize profits.

If you want to shop around, I suggest e-mail/calling multiple dealers and asking for their best price out the door (tax and processing fees included).  Don't just go to a dealer and try to negotiate, or you will be wasting a lot of time (once you are there, dealers wont bargain).  Also, you would be surprised how much the processing fees vary between dealerships, but are presented as something of a fixed cost, like a tax.  Certain dealers who charge a $2500+ processing fee, while others charge $5-600.  Be prepared to travel a ways to get a best price.  I just drove with a friend to Ohio to get a popular SUV at list price, since all DMV dealers were marking up the vehicle by $7500+ market adjustment.[/quote]
