Between a pandemic that just won't quit and the global chip/part/etc shortages that stemmed from it, the new and used car markets are completely FUBAR at this point (and have been for ages now).
Whilst run-of-the-mill grocery getters have seen an increase of sorts, specialist cars e.g., JDM, sports cars, hot hatches, etc have seen anywhere between 10-??% increases, some more than doubling (though they probably would eventually anyway, citing Nissan S-Chassis prices as example).
When do we think things might normalise?
Will they ever normalise?
Is it going to swing the other way with a massive crash?
I understand it's unlikely for classic/rarer cars that have increased to drop much, but your average cars surely are going to go back to at least pre-covid numbers...
