I admit my naievity. Aren’t there time during the year when new car dealers are more motivated to reduce price? In August they start getting next year’s new cars. By October they have to make room for the new cars and wheel and deal. If a car is not so popular, they will reduce it to clear out the inventory.
My friend tried to get a Jeep Rubicon last year. Impossible to get or find. Waiting list. He gave up and bought something else. Still hard to find, but he’s happy w/his new vehicle.
I guess two thing happen. Eventually price gets reduced or you find something else at a price you like.
