Smart. Take advantage of the deflationary environment auto is going to experience (auto sales have peaked, EVs coming to market, etc).

Also, consider a used vehicle. Used vehicle prices are being pushed down due to lots of vehicles coming off lease and subprime auto credit deteriorating simultaneously.

This is a very important factor - there is usually an option to a) buy used b) not buy.

In my case, I've decided my future vehicles will be full-electric - just waiting for the right one (hopefully in a month or two).
