There is a chip shortage, and tons of cars are sitting in lots waiting for them. Dealer lots around here are pretty much empty compared to pre-covid.
I've heard of various cars selling for above sticker. Not high end cars, but mainstream "family" type cars.
What are you considering?
Newer used car prices are through the roof. My kid's Mazda is worth more as a 3 year old than I paid for it new.
