Even dealers weren't digging deeply during peak shortages. I probably overpaid for the new car I had to wait for last summer. (Minimal negotiating leverage.) But I got what seemed like a surprisingly high trade in as well.
But part of that was there was probably a period where you had buyers who were desperate for vehicles, any vehicle, that would get them to work or the store.
