Because nobody has enough money for a new car.
The pandemic killed my car because I left it sitting for weeks. Which wasn't a big deal since it was almost twenty years old and still had a CD player.
Excited, I was expecting to pay like $20k for a really nice new car. And to my surprise, $20k is baseline average used car now, and new cars are at least twice as much.
