After a late-2025 surge on Bring a Trailer, Corvette ZR1 prices have cooled: near-new examples still command premium, but the top-end bids have faded from the $300k+ peaks to roughly $230k–$266k recently, with some high-dollar listings failing to meet reserves. A key wrinkle is Chevrolet’s warranty policy, which voids factory coverage on ZR1s resold within 12 months, prompting buyers to wait for a fresh build to preserve warranty and signaling a possible market top as demand eases.

The trend of consumers overpaying for new cars above the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) is declining, with a 7% drop in buyers willing to pay markups, according to JD Power's 2024 U.S. Sales Satisfaction Index. This shift is attributed to increased dealer inventories post-pandemic. The study also reveals that electric vehicle (EV) buyers are less satisfied with their purchases and dealer expertise compared to gas vehicle buyers. Additionally, Porsche leads in sales satisfaction for premium brands, while Nissan, Buick, and GMC top their respective mass market categories.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has been spotted at prices below the official MSRP in Europe, with retailers in Poland and Austria implementing price cuts of around 3-5%.

The newly released NVIDIA RTX 40 and Radeon RX 7000 cards can now be found at or below MSRP, indicating that the GPU market is healing and may soon force both companies to consider releasing cheaper cards or lowering prices. The Radeon RX 7900 XT has dropped to $779, a $120 or 13% discount, just a month after its release. The current-gen lineup from AMD and NVIDIA features only six desktop cards, and the cheapest available cards have been rounded up in the US.

Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis has unveiled a strategy to prevent dealers from marking up prices on the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. The strategy prioritizes dealers who sell the car at MSRP and includes an acknowledgment form that both the customer and dealer must sign and notarize. Customers who pay sticker price will have priority scheduling, while those who pay over sticker may have their order pushed to the end of the production schedule. The goal is to discourage dealer markups and prioritize customers who purchase the car at MSRP.
