You missed a step. All the people who wanted/needed a car in 2020 once supply dried up are also chasing product that 2021 buyers need/want. That's where the shortage comes in. |
That's one way to look at it. Or another is that profit margins are motivating this. When an industry is seeing once in a lifetime/historically high profits, what would be the motivation to go back to the pre-Covid business model where it was common place to see 12-14% off MSRP on most vehicles. Or maybe it's just that a lot more people want cars now. Maybe your right. 🤔
