Prices of pretty much everything took a hit 2008-2012. It will never come back down to what the pricing was but they will eventually fall from what they are today. This is why it is always best to just buy when you need/can.When have prices for anything ever came down? Outside of gas prices that have fluctuated from the early 2000s to now everything I can think of has only increased in price.
It will take a major economic upheaval to bring the prices down to what we payed a few years ago. And if that happens new vehicle costs will be the least of your concerns
Someone in the industry would have a lot more knowledge and hopefully they will jump in.I'd wait it out until the dust settles. You're right, it'll take the dealers some time to come back to reality.
Care to elaborate? Good time for new (if you can find them) bad time for used, I assume??I think the answer is different for used or new.

I looked at the MSRP for 4runners every year for the last ten years and every year they have increased. Just because you bought a year old model doesn't mean the price went down, it means you bought old tech. Not dogging on you, Ive bought a couple "leftover" new dirt bikes over the years and saved money.I buy a new 4runner every ~5-6 years. The last 3 I bought were all in the $38K-$41K range, with the last (2018 bought in 2/2019) being the cheapest due it being a prior year model. Not sure where this sentiment that vehicle prices only go up - and dramatically - comes from.
I think that's part of the point though. The prices are going up because there is more technology involved and they are more expensive to produce. The prices aren't going every year because of some other economic force that says prices on cars has to go up.I looked at the MSRP for 4runners every year for the last ten years and every year they have increased.

Looking back to 2010 when the current 4runner was released, the model with the features I buy has gone up from $35,700 in 2010 (Trail) to $40,730 (TRD Off-Road) in 2021. That is a 14.1% price increase whereas inflation has increased 23.3%. With that lense prices are actually decreasing over time in inflation-adjusted dollars.I looked at the MSRP for 4runners every year for the last ten years and every year they have increased.

We are in the midst of a significant supply shortage without a commensurate reduction in demand so prices have increased. That is basic economics. Once the supply/demand relationship normalizes and pent-up demand has been satisfied, prices will decline to levels more in-line with pre-pandemic levels. We've seen similar patterns here and there with other products for decades - no guesswork needed.Have you paid attention to prices in the last 12-18 months? 2018 was a long time ago in terms of vehicle pricing.
I bought a used pick up in 2019 with 36k miles on it for $36k. The last time I had it at a dealer getting the oil changed in October they offered me $40k if I'd walk away from it that day, it had 76k miles on it at that time.
Prices have gone up, and drastically, in recent years. Will that continue to happen? Anyones guess...
