Is Now a Good Time to Buy a Car?

2021 Buick Encore GX Parked
 

Over the last few years, the search for a new or used car was more challenging than normal. The chip shortage caused industry-wide inventory shortages, so many Prescott and Zumbrota drivers turned to used cars, making pre-owned models more scarce. This, in turn, led to higher prices and fewer choices. 

If you are in the market for a vehicle, you may be wondering, “Is now a good time to buy a car?” The answer to this question is yes! The market has begun to recover, so it’s easier to find a vehicle that checks all of the boxes on your wishlist for a great price. Red Wing Chevrolet has the details.
