Thats true and I'm glad to hear that. Dealerships have really just been bullying buyers now at this point. Only spec'ing premium models for new sales, not allowing price negotiation etc. But yes its going to be a tough sell. I see that they published an article saying the general public now cannot afford the price of the average USED car now (20% of gross) at $29,000. Although Chevy is pissed they now have to sell without the $7500 tax credit against Ford and others and are trying to get the $12,500 EV tax credit passed to replace it. We will see.
