The issue is as you've all stated there is ZERO motivation by these dealers to sell cars. I have 6 Lexus dealers within an 1.5 hours from me. The most I could get off MSRP on a GX is $500 and most would not move a single dime. Compare that to 8% off MSRP without even asking almost two years ago when I leased the NX. GX payments on a $59K MSRP with no money down are just over $1,000. I really don't think its a $1,000 a month car. Especially with the new one around the corner. Some dealers had one or none on the lot. Crazy times right now.
Why does that equal "0 motivation to sell cars"? Have you read about the current market? If the dealer is selling out its entire allocation, and there's more demand than supply, every dollar of discount that they give you is a dollar they lose. The dealer's motivation is always profit - in the current market, this is how they accomplish it; not by "giving deals".

Give the people what they want. There is a reason the best selling ice cream flavor is vanilla.
