The automobile market is just plain weird right now under Covid. Intuitively, we should expect great deals as demand for expense new toys like the Z4 decreases. There is high unemployment, and the economy generally in shambles.
But this does not appear to be happening. The manufacturers closed plants and they are now back up and running at a lower capacity then before (generally supplier constraints), so the supply of new cars is way down. For those in the economy that are still employed, their spending on travel and entertainment is way down, so they are looking for other purchases for entertainment, like frivolous roadsters.
The net result is that deals are few and far between. Dealerships have more customers than cars, so prices are going up. Welcome to the strange Covid induced world of 2020 where everything is upside down.
