This supports the notion that a collapse in prices is unlikely for discretionary vehicles, for example high horsepower German four door models.
I can second this. Local marine stores are short on inventory. Marinas are packed daily with boaters.

Second this as well. I am in real estate, new homes sales are through the roof. They can't build them fast enough. Overall home inventory is low and prices rising. Homes in my area are selling within days. Buyers from New York and California, just had a couple fleeing Washington. I have local clients that want to upgrade and sell now, but they have no where to go.
