Checking my car's value

[Merc]

I understand. Quality used cars are in shortage too. I'm just saying that just because you got an offer/offers from the dealerships doesn't mean it is or will be a good offer. Regardless of your make, what you have is chit until they get it, then it is a giant gold nugget.

All the stimulus money, extended unemployment, child credit money, and rent/house payment forgiveness that went on in 2020 and 2021 was mostly used to buy big screen TV's, beer, and used cars. The car lots were pretty much dried up before the chip shortage and distribution problems came up on new car delivery so yeah, cars are in short supply now.

Still, an auto dealer isn't going to offer you an attractive figure for your vehicle. If you were to sell it think of the cost and problems you would have now buying another one to replace it. You would be in that line of people you mentioned waiting for a new one, regardless of what brand it is.

I agree.
