Big shortage of new motors. Puts pressure on second hand and especially nearly new.

My mate’s been quoted December for his Audi.

Nuts innit, downside is that it also affects what you're looking to buy. I've saved a few nearly new car searches. Will be able to see if a dealer is willing to deal if they've been sat around for a while.

On a positive note this is the first ford I've owned since 2014 that hasn't depreciated faster than I'm paying for it.

Must admit I'm tempted to sell mine now and use the wife's car for a year. Just need to convince her it's a good idea....

Easy,. because silly idiots are still buying cars at such prices and many dealers are putting on take the p prices.

If people don't take the bait, the cars don't sell.

Also, i wouldn't expect the widely rip off prices to fall too quickly even when the chip shortage, plus the other factors driving the shortage, is over.
Ask yourself just when have you known examples of prices- in any walk of life- which rocket back down once they've gone up for a decent length of time? Have those food prices ever gone down after they get jacked up due to some wheat shortage or 'because of Covid'? Have house prices ever fallen back down by £thousands once whatever drove a latest boom, goes?
