Generally, new car prices do fall a little during a recession. As time passes though, the new car prices might even end up being higher than they were before the recession. In some cases, car prices will not rise or fall though. As much as the government tries to offer incentives during this time, sometimes car prices can’t drop. However, in case of inflationary recession it’s very hard to predict whether it will be the case this time. Since commodities and asset process expect to increase, we can see an increase of car prices as well.
Gas prices might also climb, so if you get a gas-guzzling car at a cheap price, you might still have to pay more for gas than you normally would.
