Look these awful awful people!

I just want to know how desperate people are that they are paying $5-10K over list for vehicles that sold for $5-10K under list only a year or so ago. Limited production vehicles are one thing, but for SUV's and trucks that they make millions of? Do people have that much free cash that they can't wait 6 months? This reminds me of the toilet paper shortage, only prices are $70K, not $7. Strange times......

When I purchased my 2021 Yukon Denali. My salesman said in July 2020 that some dealers were marking up $20k back then.

2020's maybe , but not 2021's... I'd make a wager that they will still be at or over MSRP in 6 months....Plus prices will be up on 2022's...

The future has promise. Lexus has some new suvs coming and the updated Navigator will be presented. Neither have lifter problems.

Is this a KRAZY idea: If you don't want to pay it.....don't buy it!?!?!?!?

I'm just glad we got the 2019 when we did. Desperate dealer with just the machine we were looking for.

I cannot believe people are that desperate for one of these. But then again I’m not a sports car person, I’m a big SUV person. Lol.

I really hope GM starts ramping up their production and gets those chips in. They’ve got a long list of orders to fill.

In the case of a C8, I'm not sure it's desperation. Even at a "market adjusted" price, a C8 is a significantly less expensive mid-engine high performance car than it's European competition (a Ferrari 488 Pista goes for $331K if you can find one...) and a lot of folks with that kind of money may recognize that value.

Drove by a bunch of dealerships in my town and most of them were quite low on inventory. All the vehicles were along the road and the back lots were empty. Is it because money (interest rates) is cheap right now?

I think the cause is several factors, but the result is clear. The GM dealer here in NC, half the vehicles on the showroom floor inside the building are used!

Yea, several members have talked about dealers calling them to sell their rigs to them.
