The best deal I found was $5k over MSRP - but this was before things were out of control - fast forward to now - and that $5k is more like $5k over MSRP + every single add on they can think of. So - when I finally got to test drive it - it was a Boost Blue in CarMax. No pressure - they offered a GREAT trade in for the Z - but….while I wanted the CTR - I feel like it didn’t blow me away so like others have said - I’m going to wait it out and look to find a CTR on the cheap - figure that will happen when the new model comes out along with when supply chain issues are not an issue anymore.
The ‘rough’ plan is to keep the Z and mod it to make it a weekend car and make the CTR that daily - backseats and a hatch to pack stuff and do small mods to that car to compare the 2. Regardless - like everyone has said - if you can avoid buying a car right now - it’s best to.
I’m in Dallas - and its funny bc there are so many people buying new cars - i just don’t get it but whatever

It's just like the housing market. Yes, you can sell your home for a great deal...good luck finding another home. It's just a wash at the end of the day.
I'm seeing a lot of new cars on the road every day as well. I just don't get it. I've been seeing a lot of CTRs too. I would say I see at least one a week.
