I've been tempted by a new vehicle before, for instance when there's $10k in EV subsidy. Heck, the Chevy Bolt was going for $22k NEW in some markets just before pricing went bonkers. A 4 year old used one was going for $15k, making a new one look pretty attractive. In this used car market, you might not be doing to bad if you can grab a new vehicle at MSRP. With used prices inflated 30%, I might look at a new vehicle if I absolutely had to buy right now.

Dad just sent me a text asking how much we could get for the 1998 hooptie Camry, and Big Yeller in my list of vehicles. We don't need the cash, but we also don't need the vehicles. Might as well contribute supply to a starved market.
