The best deal I found was $5k over MSRP - but this was before things were out of control - fast forward to now - and that $5k is more like $5k over MSRP + every single add on they can think of. So - when I finally got to test drive it - it was a Boost Blue in CarMax. No pressure - they offered a GREAT trade in for the Z - but….while I wanted the CTR - I feel like it didn’t blow me away so like others have said - I’m going to wait it out and look to find a CTR on the cheap - figure that will happen when the new model comes out along with when supply chain issues are not an issue anymore.
The ‘rough’ plan is to keep the Z and mod it to make it a weekend car and make the CTR that daily - backseats and a hatch to pack stuff and do small mods to that car to compare the 2. Regardless - like everyone has said - if you can avoid buying a car right now - it’s best to.
I’m in Dallas - and its funny bc there are so many people buying new cars - i just don’t get it but whatever

It's just like the housing market. Yes, you can sell your home for a great deal...good luck finding another home. It's just a wash at the end of the day.

I'm seeing a lot of new cars on the road every day as well. I just don't get it. I've been seeing a lot of CTRs too. I would say I see at least one a week.

Yes, Tesla was probably the first manufacturer to do this and honestly I haven't heard any complaints. People are fine with paying what they believe to be a fair price because everyone is paying the same price - it just makes sense. Don't like the price or can't afford it? Find another car. I'm sure all these other electric vehicle manufacturers that are due to come to the market soon will follow the same suit.

Don't get me started on Ford and GM. They were "threatening" their dealers to get rid off the markups by cutting off their ordering power. Why? Because apparently it was hurting their stock prices and bottom line. Otherwise they wouldn't give a crap. As far as I know, Ford and GM hasn't done a thing and their dealers are still charging markup.

Here's another thing I realized. All these dealerships are blaming the chip shortage and supply chain issues, but they are strategically placing their markups on the cars that have a high sale volume. Hypocrisy.

Ugh this just sucks. I know this is definitely a first-world problem, but I can't see myself buying another car due to these prices. There are cars out there I would love to have, but I would just take a stupid loss on all of them.

Modding my WRX as a "super" daily was the first time I felt no shame in dumping money into mods. It makes no sense to trade it in if buying something new is going to be 10K more

Great articles about, simply waiting for my next one, which will be a truck a compact truck - Maverick or Santa Cruz or something similar. no hurry and the Z is not going anyplace

But I have a question, what is a CTR?
