And probably the most important one is that the U.S. dollar is going to inflate more than it's ever done before, and is going to be worth a lot less in the next year or two. Uncle Sam printed more money last year than all the years they've been printing since the U.S. Mint was established. If you wait a year or two, the car you would like to have will most likely be priced out of reach for you because the sticker prices are going to go sky high. So if you can afford a new vehicle, do it now. Because no matter how high the inflation goes, your monthly loan payment will be at today's dollar amount and won't be affected by the dollar devaluation.
Just my two cents, because next year it'll be just my five cents.

I agree now is the time to buy. Bought a brand new Lincoln with all the bells and whistles on a 3-year lease with zero interest. We went to Ocala - do not buy in the Villages. Looming in the background is inflation as a result of all this COVID money being generated out of thin air.
