Best way to acquire new car in this market

[Sid23]

My lease ends in March and until very recently I was 100% set on buying a 4-5 year old Honda Accord and driving it into the ground over time.

I really want to get a Prius, but know financially the used Accord is a better deal.
But lately I'm wondering, is it? I'm seeing car dealerships going out of business left and right these days and I'm thinking I could probably get a screaming deal on a Prius, new or slightly used.

Any thoughts?
