I haven't bought a car since '05, but now it's time. I'm not real happy about it considering the state of the market right now, the advantage is definitely in the hands of the sellers considering the shortage, IE demand is high and supply is low (or at least, lower than usual).

I think I have my heart set on a Toyota 4 Runner or Highlander. I plan to get something gently used which is Toyota certified.

Any tips? Should I get the financing from a financial institution or through the dealer? Anything else I need to know?

Figure this one. My 2022 diesel truck was cheaper to buy new than a 2020 with 30k miles. Wtf?

I can't figure these things out as much as I've tried. Most new dealer lots are at 30% capacity by me and the blame is being placed on the chip market. We now have a new jewish company in New York that says it will be able to provide all the chips for domestic market in the coming years...
