Everything cars, apartments, you name it, is price fixed by the internet now. It should be illegal but since no actual person is doing it and the market is simply complying with the algorithm its not... Pretty sure the exact mechanic of it is an analyst researches and values inventory based on internet values and then they leverage off that inventory at that value. Therefore if they lower the price they go into margin call because their inventory is no longer valued high enough to cover the collateral on their debt. At this point they firesell to reduce their debt which is less risky for them then lowering the price of their inventory on hand. Probably some mistakes in this story but its something like that. I like that this guy specializes in cheap transport which many others don't think the margins are high enough on. If more people do that the market will become more fair because of local competition giving alternatives to people.

Saw that 07 Prius with 156K miles. I have a 06 civic hybrid with 256K miles. My daily commute is 52 miles total. I replaced the hybrid battery on 2018 with a remanufactured battery that had a 3 year warranty ($3K) and the IMA battery/Engine light back on. The AC condenser unit replaced 2021 was costly because it was a hybrid so the dealership did the work. Overall if I could do this over I would have bought a regular civic ICE non-hybrid. Initially was getting 55 mpg and still decent now at 48 but I would rather get 37-40 mpg with a regular Civic or Corolla/Camry and have a wider choice of good mechanics that would work on the more expensive repairs instead of taking to the dealership. The radio stopped working last year, but it keeps chugging and I'll keep driving it until the tires fall off. We just won't be paying for anymore costly repairs. I did drop the full comprehensive insurance for just basic PIP.

How I bought a use camaro V6 for $7.9k it's a 2010 124k one owner, no accidents, all service was done at Chevy dealership I bought it off.

I took my Avalon to the Toyota dealership yesterday for an oil change and tire rotation. While I was there, I went through the used car and new car lots. Note that this dealership is a “no-haggle” lot; if you don’t like the price, hit the road, Jack. - Used SUVs are still selling for close to MSRP, definitely at likely selling price (especially those sold pre-COVID). - Either the Corolla, Camry, Prius, Highlander, and RAV4 are selling before they arrive, or the dealership is doing a bad job at ordering. Easily half of the new cars are pickups, with some bZ4Xs, a smattering of SUVs, and a couple of Crowns. Maybe sedans aren’t selling, but it’s difficult to imagine how they are going to unload all those trucks. - My personal opinion: the Crown is a step down from the Avalon. And what with this two-tone paint scheme? It’s good it comes as a PHEV, but overall it’s not as classy as its predecessor.

Back in the day at any new car dealership.They would have what was called their wholesale lot, usually behind the dealership. You could pay cash and pick up something to run around with for under 200, or 300 hundred bucks. This was early 70's.
