I pay with cash, always. No interest for me. I’ll keep this in mind when shopping, though. I currently have a savings goal for a new or new-to-me car even though my current vehicle is great.

Exactly. There is a reason OP didn't mention what type of car.

Well the car I want is impossible to get new without being on a months long waiting list AND paying above MSRP so we are looking at used models that cost more than MSRP new which is hard to swallow.

I got a 2023 for under MSRP. Traded in my 2014 Prius for $14.5k. I only paid $22k for it. I drove that car for almost 9 years. It didn't even make sense to keep it seeing as I needed more space.

Yup I noticed the same thing. I got a new car, same model but different years for 3K less. No brainer.

But were the two cars the same make and model?

Weird. The used car index is in freefall right now. Yesterday Morgan Stanley came out thinking that used car prices could fall 20% by this time next year

Insurance is higher I’d think.

I usually buy 2-3 year-old used cars, but after running the numbers, it made no sense as it was cheaper to buy a new car

Maybe it's the end of the year but I was surprised.

2023 new car $41k after 7k off MSRP w/ 6% interest rate for 60 months

2020 car at carmax $41k and $43k w/ a 5.5% interest rate

WEIRD
