Offensive to sellers but have people gone over the cliff on Car values

Paraphrasing Mark Twain: I like progress, I just don't like change.
When things change it can be upsetting. Got to apply some strategy. Maybe wrench on what ya got if you think prices are too high and will come back down. I spent years looking for the right car only to see them get out of reach. Eventually realized I had to readjust my sights when I recognized I would be waiting forever to find a deal and price that I locked in on as a target at an earlier time. That target keeps movin.
