Yes it is, dealers can't afford to cut prices by 20% or so more.lots are totally packed, dealers are refusing any more allocations, combined with a totally broke average person combined with completely collapsing credit availability. Dealer floor plan financing cost that they pay on outstanding inventory is bankrupting dealers.

@@DanGilliland-pi4vh Hit the nail on the head with the floorplan financing. Across all dealer industries, dealers are refusing units from manufacturers.

I agree that Toyotas depreciate less but the issue is that many Toyotas are still sold over MSRP due to low supply and high demand. For example here in Dallas, most new 2024 Toyota Corollas come with 2-3k in pre-installed accessories (installed at port by Gulf Toyota distributor) and so you end up paying over MSRP. Since Corollas are in low supply (26 day market day supply in May 2024) and high demand, it's very very hard to negotiate the price down. So when you pay thousands over MSRP for a basic Corolla LE, does the lower depreciation make much of a difference?

I received a written offer for a Camry LE for $31,500 yesterday. It had a $1k manufacturer's discount but was still about $2k over MSRP. I have 2012 and 2018 models and could just drive them for another 6 years or so. So I'm just taking my time. I started shopping in 2022 when there just weren't any - you put in an order and hoped to get one eventually, at a much higher price than you were looking for.

Though the Corolla is no doubt a quality car I think the Mazda 3 beats the hell out of the overpriced Corolla. Mazda’s quality rivals Toyota and Honda’s lately. The Mazda has a bigger, more powerful engine, a conventional automatic transmission (not a CVT) and is just prettier and more luxurious than the Corolla. You can probably get the 3 below msrp too. I’d tell the Toyota dealer to go pound sand and check out Mazda.

@@jayson657 The MSRP on the Toyota Corolla is $22,050. The MSRP on the Mazda 3 is $23,950. But I think that the actual Corolla that you can buy is actually a lot more expensive. My local dealer usually has a few of the really expensive models in the lot but they never have the Corollas, Camrys and RAV4 models that are a ton more popular. I've been driving Toyotas since 2000 and I've bought at my local dealer and have had the cars serviced there and it's been a great relationship. They can get me in for service quickly if I ask. So I'm inclined to just stick with them. Their cars are super-reliable and low-maintenance. The thing is that I can just keep driving my current cars until the economy weakens enough for even Toyota to provide steep discounts. This is the first time in three years that I'm seeing discounts, even if they are off higher prices because of added equipment. It's a good start.

If you’re willing to search there are dealers with discounts in most toyota models. Usually the big cities have terrible pricing. The small towns usually have better dealers.

@@rjb9715 For most people cars are a tool to get from point A to point B in relative speed and comfort. I understand that for some people cars can be (much) more than that, but in that case you veer into the land of hobbies. And hobbies are usually expensive and not really a matter of fiscal responsibility. Others might view it as a status symbol. In that case if you DO have the money for a status symbol, then why would you ever worry about how much it cost? If NOT, then you shouldn't have bought it and the only status it symbolises is that you are not good with money :P
