So if someone was already in the market for a car, pre-quarantine, they should consider waiting until summer for even better deals? if they are able to?

Interesting, I'll pass that on the BIL. His car was on its last legs in February, but with WFH going on for who knows, he might be best served just hoping it lasts til summer.

Here's a left over '19. You could probably get this thing for a steal right now.

Guys wait until this summer.
Unless they get a bailout, prices are going to drop a lot more.

Well their inventory will get held back considering no one is making cars/trucks right now. There will be deals, but timing will be fun to try and figure out whats best.

Lots of talk about low supply due to factories being shut down; have foreign companies shuttered their production as well?

We have a Mercedes GLE on order which is made in Alabama. Plant was shuttered on 3/23.

I was talking more about about foreign factories. Maybe They'll make a crap load of Land Cruisers and have unload them cheaply.

i check the 991s available at carmax a few times a week just to get a sense of pricing while daydreaming about what my next car will be. the inventory there has more than doubled in the past month and there are some really great examples (low miles, nicely optioned etc). i think if you hold off for another month or two there will be some awesome deals to be had out there.

when you get serious about looking, contact eric nelson at dallas motorsports in wylie. he guided me through the process of finding and buying a 997 and his help was extremely valuable.
