car brands

and models are affected more than others by these markups.

Other expensive cars right now

There are 15 vehicles featured in the expensive cars list, including the three Jeeps listed above. The Chevy Corvette is being sold for $15,218 more than its MSRP. Because it is already an expensive vehicle, though, this is only the 11th highest price increase in terms of percentage.

Even vehicles that are not on the list are being affected by high markups.

ISeeCars

found in a study of 1.2 million new car sales that the average car is 9.9% more expensive than its suggested retail price. Why exactly are cars so expensive?

Current price increases can be largely attributed to supply chain issues and other problems that are affecting vehicle production. Supply has been unable to keep up with demand, so dealers have been able to successfully ask for higher prices.

Buyers are willing to pay the marked-up prices because opportunities to find their desired cars may be limited.

How can you save money with such high markups?

If you've been considering a new vehicle, it can be discouraging to see how expensive cars are right now. Saving money is possible, and

Kelley Blue Book

outlines a few ways to be a smart shopper among high markup prices.

The first tip, if possible, is to wait for prices to return to more normal levels. In a more typical market without production problems, cars are generally more affordable. A Jeep Wrangler might cost over 25% more than its MSRP right now, but that won't last forever.

Another tip is to be flexible with the exact vehicle that you buy. In a perfect world, you might find a car that has every feature exactly how you want it, down to the paint scheme. Finding the best deals might mean compromising on some features, though.
