This one (used cars) is interesting.

It really is true today that buying a trusted used car is WAY easier than buying a new car.
This has squeezed a LOT of the previous depreciation math out of the market (read: there was a huge arbitration opportunity)

I bought a new car in November 2020 and while I certainly don’t _love_ the dealership experience and I’m probably less uncomfortable with financial negations than your average person, it didn’t strike me as a particularly painful experience.
