Even the C8 is still going for over MSRP used. I get that we had the chip shortage and what not, but at this point I feel the manufacturers are in on it. Many of them have been raising prices and I'm sure they like selling less vehicles and making more $$.
The only car I have personally paid MSRP for was the Tesla and it's also only one of like 2-3 cars that I've ever bought new. I've been looking for a fun car after selling my mustang and I feel prices on many cars are definitely coming down, but I also feel a lot of dealers have just stuck their head in the sand and are ignoring the market and continue to list cars for exaggerated prices.

To me, the only thing that seems to make sense is that MORE people are now MORE willing to get into serious debt... like a yolo type of situation. You're absolutely right, a lot of people have money but this didn't happen overnight in all sectors of the economy and for what it seems like everyone...
