That’s a fair point. I think that mentality is starting to change though. I’ve noticed that my sister and brother’s age group (18-30 demographic) seems much more comfortable with the “take it or leave it” sales model.

The hope would be the (real or presumed) market-wide price inflation that allows haggling to be the norm would simply cease to be.

I’ve purchased 4 new cars in the last 8 years and every experience save one was fractious to the point where I’ve been asked to not return to a few dealerships. Now, I’ll fully admit that…

Tons of aftermarket support, parts a relatively inexpensive with pretty much every DIY repair tutorial you could want online. Not flashy with a stock exterior. Plenty of room for baby and gear and a blast to drive.
