Hi everyone,
I am looking for advice on whether to buy as soon as I can or wait.
I've been looking at a Limited in Sage Grey and was close to getting one but it was bought off the truck out from under me at the dealer I was working with. I also cancelled my reservation because the 5 dealers I have tried to work with all will not accept the reservation. It is also looking like the Sage Grey Limited models are pretty rare up here (Massachusetts). Here is my conundrum,
I could wait a few months for more models to come in and it will be easier for me to get exactly what I want. However, I would be trading my current vehicle. It is a 2017 Civic Hatch with just under 80k. Right now it could fetch about 15kish trade. I drive 80 miles a day for a commute so I am worried that if I waited months to get the right one, my car would take a massive depreciation hit and make the Santa Cruz technically more expensive for me.
I test drove a black one that has been sitting on the dealers lot for a couple weeks for some reason. They are asking 6k over MSRP but I know someone who works at one of their dealers and could maybe help me get MSRP. Either way I refuse to pay a dollar over MSRP.
Thoughts on the best time for me to buy? Thanks for your time.
