Car rental agencies don't have cars to meet demand around NoCal and have hiked their rates. I just bought a brand new car, because I looked at used prices and some of the recent low mileage used prices within two or three years were higher than the stated brand new dealer prices. When I went to buy a brand new dealer car of my choice because they had ONE, I was told they don't last more than a few days and they would go for periods when they didn't have any. Car dealers are upset that they don't have the inventories that they need. They were also preparing to add an arbitrary 3500 dollar markup, obviously because they are seeing what is happening with the used car market. I avoided that.
I told my wife I didn't want to wait until next year when inflation and availability made the same cars 50 percent higher with fiat currency, maybe even more.

Yeah. $5k markup on some lot models. Very limited inventory.
If you want a new car, the best bet is to order what you want from a dealer that'll only charge you MSRP.

I wanted a model that would suffice as a bugout car on short notice. Pack and run, just close up the houses and remotely hire somebody to look after them. I am thinking about buying some more houses somewhere to have money in assets rather than fiat paper. I am wondering if it would be better to take out low interest loans that I pay off with inflating fiat. I never wanted a real estate empire, but I don't trust the overstuffed commodities and goldbug markets.
"And then this happened!
My 2019 Durango R/T was about to hit 50k miles, love it.
Went to my favorite dealer for an oil change and the owner ran out and told me they want my used R/T, badly. He said I'll trade you straight up for this Brand new 2021 RAM Classic! It has the HEMI and brake controller for towing. The sticker is $44k and only 10 miles on it. My other car was paid for, so this one is too, the clear blue title is in the mail.
Wow! The car market is like I've never seen."
