If you have the money to buy something that you enjoy why not now? No one knows what will happen in the future and if one waits they will be dead and not have the enjoyments of life they worked for. There is nothing wrong with making money and buying smart but if ones waits too long for the "right time" they may not be in the position to enjoy it as they might be able to now. Life is short, don't wait for tomorrow too long.

Thinking saving $100,000 on a luxury car while losing $500,000 on the value of their house, $2,000,000 on their investments, loss of income from their job or business etc is a good thing.
We’ve been HERE before. For a different example when I graduated high school in 1982 real inflation was about 15%, unemployment was about 15%, home mortgages were 18-20%, car loans were 25% and we were just coming out of stagflation. That sucked all around. Sucked. But cars were super cheap….

Some of us are not looking for a deal on a car, we're just not willing to pay more for somebody's used car than for a new one.
I don't have any loans or mortgages, so I don't really care what happens to the value of my house (which I bought for a fair price).
Money printing and the government spending more than what they get from their citizens always leads to a recession.

Please refrain from making this political so the thread can continue…I know that any discussion about car prices or gas prices can tend to go that way but please resist so that the discussion can continue…thanks
