[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you bought a car during the pandemic? It does not work like that anymore.

My experience: 
1. I test drove some cars. It was hard to find dealers that even had cars to test drive.

2. I called the dealers in my area to ask if they had the make and model I wanted. Nobody had any but I finally found one that had a shipment on order.

3. I put down a deposit for a car that was coming in 6 weeks. It was a refundable 500 dollar deposit.

4. The car arrived 6 weeks later, they called me, I test drove it, then bought it. There was no negotiation, I paid MSRP. If I had not bought it, they would have sold it that day to another customer.

5. The end.

It's a great time to buy a car if you don't like haggling because nobody is haggling. The only haggle might be if you're buying a high end luxury vehicle, or a dealer has some weird car that hasn't sold yet.[/quote]
Pretty much this. 
I mean there is no haggling. Expect to pay MSRP or over. [/quote]

Respectfully disagree. There is no excuse to pay more than MSRP particularly if options are missing from a vehicle. Some dealers are selling at full MSRP even when the vehicle is missing things like HUD or lumbar or upgraded stereo/CarPlay due to semiconductor chip supply shortages. [/quote]

Mmkay. Right now, if you won't, someone else will.[/quote]
