Karl,

I have a question. Given the predictions you make, what timing would you advise, or signals would you tell me to watch for before buying a new or slightly used car in '23?

Our immediate needs have changed late this year from a car for basic transportation to one with more utility value. I need to sell the coupe (a Mazda 6) and get a rolling box (probably a CX-5).

The closest Mazda dealer to us went from a near-empty lot inventory-wise back in May to fairly populated presently. Also, the twice-a-month letters offering to buy my car for nearly what I paid for it have stopped. I think better bargains are yet to come, but would like your opinion on spotting the bottom at the retail level.

FWIW: I've enjoyed your blog now for quite a long time now. So far back, I don't know exactly how many year-end predictions I've read (14 at least). We appreciate what you do.
