Need a new vehicle? Then buy now, because car prices are set to spikeSome price increases are imminent, like BMW, which according to one dealer is expected to hike prices by 9% across all its models, except the 5 Series, on June 1. Must be very brave to buy a car now. Unless of course you loaded I don't think that 9% is crazy in these difficult times. I'm gonna go out there and get myself two new 5 Series' since its price is not going. They can keep hiking prices. We no longer care. Who need a new car under Lockdown restrictions.
