Used car prices

They seem very expensive.
Hopefully it is a hangover from the new car shortage during Covid and prices will reduce a LOT in the next year or so.

I was going to upgrade my car but one I like is over $20K. It does not represent good buying to me so I will wait

You could always buy new. You can usually get them a fair bit cheaper than the advertised price.

Yes dear Sprint - I have the same problem looking for a used car -

they want a fortune even for 20 year old cars -
many of them would need a new cam rubber drive belt which
can easily cost $2K to replace -
as they have to pull out so much stuff to get to it.

I am considering buying new.

I'm holding on to my diesel Territory with the enhanced suspension etc and excellent drving lights.  Drive belts cost about $1500 every 150,000 k.
