Prices have gone up due to inflation AND due to global supply issues and shortages of supplies and parts needed to build (i.e. semiconductors). High rates + high prices = does not make any sense to make big purchases** in this current economic environment.

**The ONLY exception to this is if you are buying a home, in which case you are investing into something that will appreciate in value (esp. due to shortage in supply), rather than a car which will depreciate.
As I mentioned previously, now is a bad time to buy a car and getting into unnecessary debt.

"This is one of the worst times to buy a car in decades. "

I have also said take the media with a grain of salt. What this article fails to address is the rise in rates. With current rates, qualifying for an auto loan will be harder and there is a very good chance that people will be qualified for a significant lesser amount than when rates were lower.
