Look these awful awful people!

I just want to know how desperate people are that they are paying $5-10K over list for vehicles that sold for $5-10K under list only a year or so ago. Limited production vehicles are one thing, but for SUV's and trucks that they make millions of? Do people have that much free cash that they can't wait 6 months? This reminds me of the toilet paper shortage, only prices are $70K, not $7. Strange times......

When I purchased my 2021 Yukon Denali. My salesman said in July 2020 that some dealers were marking up $20k back then.

2020's maybe , but not 2021's... I'd make a wager that they will still be at or over MSRP in 6 months....Plus prices will be up on 2022's...

The future has promise. Lexus has some new suvs coming and the updated Navigator will be presented. Neither have lifter problems.

Is this a KRAZY idea: If you don't want to pay it.....don't buy it!?!?!?!?

I'm just glad we got the 2019 when we did. Desperate dealer with just the machine we were looking for.

I cannot believe people are that desperate for one of these. But then again I’m not a sports car person, I’m a big SUV person. Lol.

I really hope GM starts ramping up their production and gets those chips in. They’ve got a long list of orders to fill.

In the case of a C8, I'm not sure it's desperation. Even at a "market adjusted" price, a C8 is a significantly less expensive mid-engine high performance car than it's European competition (a Ferrari 488 Pista goes for $331K if you can find one...) and a lot of folks with that kind of money may recognize that value.

Drove by a bunch of dealerships in my town and most of them were quite low on inventory. All the vehicles were along the road and the back lots were empty. Is it because money (interest rates) is cheap right now?

I think the cause is several factors, but the result is clear. The GM dealer here in NC, half the vehicles on the showroom floor inside the building are used!

Yea, several members have talked about dealers calling them to sell their rigs to them.

GM is expecting production to get much better come 2022. So let’s hope so.

A dealership was selling $5K over MSRP towards the beginning of June. A week ago MSRP no markup.

Yup, I got mine with no mark up. A week later went back to have my wheels locks and rack installed and sales manager showed me they started marking them up about 5k more.

I just checked the Koons website, the Yukon Denali that was marked up $20k over MSRP has sold!

You aint seen nothing yet. Buy now.

There are countless numbers of things when you look back... you say to yourself..... "Boy I wish I'd bought this back then"
There isn't many big ticket items out there that aren't going up in price.... and sometimes fairly dramatically...

Have to agree and with declining quality from t-shirts to home appliances many a time I wish I'd bought two or three when they were worth bringing home.

BTC, ETH... Maybe even GME.

I cleaned up your post. No POLITICS on here of any kind or you will be gone immediately.

Ordered and received my 2021 Yukon AT4 with everything possible except the captains chairs. Despite being eligible for GM employee pricing I still had to pay MSRP. But I was one of the lucky ones to at least get all the options I needed, like the premium tow package, etc. Mine was one of only eleven AT4's built that week at the factory due to chip shortages.

So although I paid MSRP (first time in my life), I got it back on the back end when I sold my 2013 Yukon Denali Hybrid with 211,750 miles on it for $16K, immediately, to a private party.

I got what I wanted, in a market with very short inventory, so I am happy. Just turned over 6,000 miles on the new AT4 and love it. Drove it from Seattle to Corpus Christi, TX and back.
