The used got sold and the new one got sold right after.

I would do anything to go back and tell myself to just buy the damn new car.

Been search ever since but to no avail. Now the used ones that are similar to the used ones in the past are ranging middle 30K range or high 30K. I found one with similar features but with no MRC with a dealer but he was selling it for 36K. Offered the dealer for 33K OTD. Told me "Thanks for the reply. Good luck."- Sincerely, douche bag sales rep and never emailed me back..... got sold two weeks later.

Thinking I should just get a mustang......
Unfortunately Ford has the same issues as GM with computer silicon shortage and has slowed the production on most their cars, I'm not sure if pricing will be any better if you compared pricing before the shortage and now on the Mustang.

As far as your offer to the dealer, I would have done the same thing as he did. If the market is high on the car and you offer a really low price why should he waste time on it when you're so far apart on a deal. I've done the same thing selling my cars on a private sales in the past, I just tell them good luck with your search and move on to the next offer that is acceptable.

I hope you find one soon. Your best bet at this point (if you don't want to pay the higher prices) is wait it out. Once this shortage has past prices will stabilize again and you will find your car at a better price point.
