List of Cars You Shouldn't Buy Right Now
Everyone seems to want the same vehicles and dealers are low on inventory for many models - especially ones that are newly redesigned or were introduced this year.
Some are even getting away with charging over MSRP because the demand is so high.
In cases like this, it's best to wait a few months in hopes of production catching up with demand - or you may want to consider an alternative model, one that doesn't suffer from supply/demand contraints.
Doing so can save you several thousand dollars.
Here are the most in-demand vehicles right now. It's going to be very difficult to get a great deal on these models, so if you really want one right now - expect to pay a big premium.
