This is the logical end result of shutting down production for a year ...

I rented a 2021 Jeep Compass for vacation (rip-offs apply to car rentals, but that’s another story).

The air conditioner was dead. 2021 model and a dead AC?

Yeah well, sometimes we get what we need, not what we want. 8>)

This time last year, new cars were going for bargie prices if you looked a little bit.

For my new Honda SUV, I managed several thousand off from the sticker and received absolute top for my trade-in.

Yup. We just upgraded the wife from her 3-4 year old CRV to a mid-upper package Pilot. Decent deal on it, but the big kicker was they not only gave us ~$12M on the trade-in, but they also wrote off the ~$12M we still owed on it!

It's always been a mistake to think that it's always better to buy a good late model used car rather than a new car.

Once again....you have no idea what you are talking about.......

40 yearss ago I leased a Toyota Corolla SR-5 liftback on an equity lease. At the end of the lease I had 90,000 miles on the car. I received a check for 1,700.00 from the leasing firm.

I drove a Vega and liked it.
