Well, add this to the fact that they were able to sell new cars for thousands above MSRP and sell used cars for as much as new cars used to cost.
For a while there, cars were waaaay overpriced because there weren't many to be had.
And try to find some models on dealer lots. I ordered a 2022 Transit beginning of the year. Ford cancelled that in July and my local dealer had to reenter it as a 2023 order immediately. I'm still waiting and likely won't see it until the summer of 2023 which is roughly 1.5 years after my initial order!
New or used, the car market is in turmoil thanks the b.s. over the big covid lie.
