Buying Cars is Hopelessly Overpriced Now...The Average cost of a New Car has Risen to $47K and even Used Cars are $28K. Non-luxury btw, like a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. We ain't talking a Mercedes or Rolls Royce, a literal economy car can cost well over $30K these days...what a tragedy. It's not just specsheet nerds over pricing cars by buying higher trims, lack of education pertaining to the car market has made it where people are relying on Tik Tok and other Social Media Influencers to tell them how much a car should cost. This results in people drastically overpaying for cars, as they see their favorite Clout Chasing Flexer pay well over sticker for cars.
Remember, cars are a tax write-off to self employed influencers. This is why they can compete against each other for Markup, they want to be the first to create content on a new car. Sure it's still not smart and definitely the riskiest "investment" they could make (like seriously, just get a real personality and make videos based on that, instead of racing to buy a literal object for several $$ over, just because you want to be the first) but you know what? That's not here or there. Be smarter than them. You are not them. You are better than them. The damage has already been done, so currently the Modern Car Culture is just in "damage control" but honestly even aside from finances, the Culture around cars itself, has also been drastically shifted by all these new enthusiasts flooding in, who care more about likes on Instagram, than actually taking care of their car...

I'm a car mechanic for Toyota, and this video is spot on. Heading into the 2021 year lineup, the Corolla was going to become a $20k car, which means no more cheap cars essentially. It also doesn't help that almost the car brands push more expensive SUVs and trucks in our faces when we want just a cheap car to get us from A to B. This is why I will never buy a new car ever in my lifetime, every car is a super computer now and it's ludicrous

For some reason, Americans really look at the age of your car as an benchmark for your status. When I bought my Corvette, the first thing people would ask me was what year it was. From a car person, that's a normal question, (though, they usually ask about the generation). But it was all of the non-car people that were asking. It felt like it wasn't a question of curiosity about the car, but rather they were kind of trying to use it as a reference point for what I could afford. When I told one of my coworkers that it was an 02 Z06, they looked at me weird and respond "Oh. Why wouldn't you buy something newer?" I was kind of caught off guard by their response, so I said "Because, in 12 months, your Sentra won't be new anymore. In 12 months, my car will still be a Corvette." If the most impressive thing about your car is that it's new, then you picked the wrong car.

In the time I’ve owned that car, the life experience I’ve had with my car (affectionately nicknamed Honey) couldn’t have happened if I just kept trading it and wanting something new. That car was what my wife and I drove away from our wedding in, my daughter was brought home from the hospital in that car when she was born, and one of the last memories I have of a good friend is us riding around in that car. Everything that’s been done to it, I’ve either done myself or helped to do the work. Again, by base value or rarity it isn’t special. But to me, there isn’t a price that can be put on it.

Or they say some dumb stuff “oh we are just marking up the car to be on the same level as the inflation so we don’t come out empty handed” all those things that these dealerships do are so duaguting and I cannot believe they are still thriving as much as the manufacturers.

I have loved cars since I can remember. I was always the kid in class talking about JDM & Euro cars no one knew about, my favorite toys and presents were always hot wheels, I used to watch drifting and racing way more than any ball sport, I watched all the F&F movies up to a certain point, I knew tuning & mod styles more than I knew my math tables, and one of my main goals in life was to modify and tune cars until I died of old age. It took watching this video for me to realize that passion has almost completely died. Between just trying to survive the rising cost of living & student loan debt, and the ridiculous prices of everything related to cars (new & used), I can honestly say that I no longer care about the scene the way I used to. I don't get happy when I see a skyline anymore (cause I know they're all 60k+ from an importer) I don't care about making my car go faster (because basic maintenance, repairs, & parts are almost unaffordable) and I don't care about buying anything new (income is ~75k a year and I'm still priced out) The car scene is dead for me. It just makes more sense to have something reliable and cheap until I can afford something new that I actually like

If you look around, prices for a lot of items from the 80s, 90s seem to have gone up rn. Nostalgia for those times is just the trend, and so you see that in many sectors prices skyrocket beyond belief. I could imagine that this is because the market gets flooded with wannaby enthusiasts, so basically people who spend money on these things to just show off. Then there are investors, who know that prices will likely go up and buy those things in order to turn a profit. I have seen this 3 times now. With cars, musical instruments and videogames. Real enthusiasts for these things of course get left in the dust then as they have to deal with inflated prices and a ton of competition.

@chicken29843
@chicken29843 Год назад
Well the price inflation began initially because of the silicon shortage that caused a massive shortage of new cars as they couldn't get the computers in to finish production, thus forcing more of the market to move into used cars and when you increase demand and lower supply you get higher prices. Now the manufacturer's realize they can still sell enough cars to make money but it higher margins by selling fewer at higher prices. And now because of that all the people who are newly priced out of the new-car market are now looking at used cars which the supply of is going to be relatively consistent but when the demand increases so much it seems the prices up. This is likely to be the new normal, unless these companies start performing really poorly

I’m 21 and finishing college in a couple weeks. I’m nowhere near being able to buy a new car (not that I really need a new one), but I drive a 2015 GMC Terrain that used to belong to my grandparents. I got it at 14k miles and I’ve got about 34k on it now. But in the future whenever I do end up needing a new car, I’m very concerned of being able to get one. I always thought of bringing my mom with me to help negotiate, because she always did that with her cars. Since 2019, she has owned a Chevy, a Ram, and now a Lincoln. She’s one of those people who trade in a car every 1.5-2 years or so, but each time she managed to get thousands off MSRP, and many of the cars she bought were off the showroom floor. I remember back in 2012 she bought the new 2013 Malibu DISPLAY MODEL off the floor before they were even supposed to be sold. But now, if dealerships won’t even negotiate, what can I do? It also doesn’t help that they’re trying to get rid of ICE vehicles to push EVs, which are abhorrently expensive.

Edit: Most of the prices are from private sellers, around one in every 5 is from a dealer. I am from Bulgaria, and the situation is pretty similar.

By my calculations I could sell my current car and work for a few months to save up around 11-12k and get a bmw e92( in good condition) for around 8-10k and have some leftover for repairs. By the time I had saved up and started looking again in late Jan the prices had changed to 11k (for worse condition). As of writing this comment the lowest listing I could find was 13k ( again, local currency 1BGN = 0.56 USD). And those prices are for 325i's. Every time I save up the price has gone even higher, so I will be buying a 330i e46 coupe while I can still afford one :D( I really like both cars so it's not that big of a deal, but still) . Saddest part is that while I was studying at uni I busted my ass with three or four 12+ hour shifts in a row a week as a waiter so I could get as much money as quickly as possible, yet the inflation still managed to gap me.

It’s stuff like this that makes reducing dependency on cars important, especially nowadays. I’m not saying we should ban cars, but that we should promote and build infrastructure in the US that allows for different choices of getting around without being forced to drive a car, such as trains, buses and walkability. Just like many cities in Europe, and a good example being the Netherlands with their bicycle infrastructure. Look it up. By doing so we can reduce the number of bad drivers on the road and create a better driving experience for those who want to drive. And the people who don’t want to, or can’t drive shouldn’t be forced to drive and essentially make traffic and car driving (the only way for Americans to get around due to car-centric infrastructure) worse for everyone. That’s why, despite trying to decrease the number of cars on the road, the Netherlands was ranked the best country to drive a car in. (Don’t worry about bicycling in winter, people in Oulu Finland do it all the time look it up). Why should we spend 6 digits on something that gets us from one place to another that’s costly to even maintain even if it’s a Toyota? I can’t explain everything else, but watch a channel called Not Just Bikes. I’m an enthusiast and it’s a huge eye opener. Why do you think urbanism is starting to pop off a little bit as of recent?

I'm 21 and lucky enough to own a GR Supra, mainly due to working really young and managing finances for some time.

Again I'm lucky enough to afford it and I knew what it takes to own something like this, but seeing how bad our economy is along with wages and debt, you can barely enjoy anything anymore.

Spot on in this video. I’d like to also mention that the prices of older vehicles have shot up significantly in the past 3 years. A 2010 Chevy Silverado will now cost close too a 2022 Chevy Silverado (with the 2010 being 23K and the 22 being 28K) there’s no reason why a 2010 model should be near the price margin around the newer models. I also can’t find any good deals in my area. I can’t find a good truck (or any car) that is under 15K and doesn’t have some sort of electrical, transmission, or power steering issue. My 2016 Kia sportage cant be sold due to an engine defection from the factory, but somehow these beater ass cars can be put on the current market and be treated as desposible income for desparate families trying to find good vehicles. A single mother of 5 cannot buy a car for 5K with issues that costs more than the vehicles worth. I swear these prices for newer cars and trucks are getting outrageous, I can’t find a decent truck for under 15K. Hell I can’t find any vehicle under 15K without issues.

It's def cheaper upfront but I would say there are def other costs that add into it. Gear, accessories, insurance (please get theft insurance). They add up. Still cheaper than a modern car but I'd also say in most of the country its a hard proposition to only have a motorcycle. The weather can be downright terrible especially in winter. And to survive the wet and cold that's more investment in gear like heated jackets and weatherproof costs. I'll ride in some rain but never below freezing. Ice will slip your tire right out. Also maintenance isn't cheap if you take it to a shop. Motorcycle shops change over 150 an hour around here. You'll have to be ready to do some work yourself on the bike to make it truly affordable. Which is fun for me and easy to do but generally not for everyone.

I've kept my eyes on the import market as well and it's insane how much JDM cars are going for, imported or just in the Japanese auctions. The part that it the most disappointing is that the car market is now the job market, in that when lots of people are looking for jobs, you have no option to negotiate anything like wage, hours, etc. bc they will just tell you to leave, and it's sickening that cars are now treated the same way. Perhaps this is the time for more places to move towards improving public transportation so less people *have* to buy a car. I think that's the only way to combat the idiots buying cars like they buy shoes.

I’m 35 and grew up on the Gran Turismo and NFSU series in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. It helped that the tuner scene was hot back then with movies like The Fast and the Furious (at least the first 3 movies). It basically functioned like a big ad for cars and the tuner scene in general. I remember there was even magazines about the whole thing. Back then, the tuner scene had everything: the trash talking, the fights, Rap, rock, hiphop, the appreciation, the egos, the pride of your car and your build.. it was so cool to see that the cars basically matched the individual and the personality of the owner. It made everyone want to turn a wrench back then… even women. And I think all of this was lost over the years. I’m afraid this new generation of “cars and coffee” doesn’t really understand the satisfaction of turning a 10mm wrench or socket to torque. I’m not saying people that ALL those who go to a cars and coffee don’t understand but I’m starting see people who are “afraid” of touching their cars and it shows sometimes, when back then, everyone knew about every screw, nut, and bolt on their car, even what engine series it is. And what peeves me most, are people who unknowingly buy an enthusiast car - brand new (at a ridiculous markup of course), and don’t even appreciate what the car is only to sell it months later at an even larger markup. What we need is a another big “ad” for this hobby and hopefully in 10 years, I won’t miserably stare at my own reflection off of a window from an all electric crossover, or re-skinned teslas that half the country also owns.

@@ak-jxrdy-7 Yeah, you right, in general. I just point out the fact, that it house is unaffordable at the moment, better to rent rather to sign the long term unaffordable commitment. I've raised in the area, where important is to live somewhere (good rent) and people with money can buy condo and very lucky people can buy house.

Biggest bullet dodged was my car I bought last year for 13k. It was below market price by about 3-5k so it was very sketchy initially, but I did a careful examination and had a mechanic do an inspection. Guy was also nice and let me do some rough road driving with it. Was debating at that time whether to go for it or wait until market drops so I can get a better and newer car. After a lot of stress, went through with it. Average value is now 20k and rising.

I’m 19, and bought a mk3 Supra for my first car. The taking a loan on repairs part hit home, the repairs ended up costing me more than the car itself. (Oil lines dry rotted underneath the engine) I know I’m not experienced enough to do a big repair like that, but I’m trying my best to learn. I think it’s kind of sad that every dream car seems like it’s marked up to the moon. I hope things improve for everyone else, because this isn’t sustainable at all.

I mostly agree, but realistically, on all cars older than let's say 15-20 years, things WILL break regardless if it's a Toyota, Lexus whatever. Stuff like bushings, shocks, rust will start showing up, various electronic BS etc. The cars I own are made from between 1987 for the oldest one and 2008 for the newest one, and the car from 2008 has in total had 0 issues, while I've had to do a TON of things to my older cars, simply because they rotted over time. However, you are absolutely right when you think about how much issues modern cars will have when THEY are 15-20 years old. Imagine a 2023 hyundai in 20 years lmao.

I totally agree. I bought a '20 STI in late 2021, and paid basically its 2020 MSRP that someone would've paid in 2019. I thought it okay bc A) it was just how I'd want it (WR Blue, moonroof, WRX lip spoiler) and B) it only had 2500 miles and was from FL so pretty much new. Bonus, certified pre-owned means powertrain warranty is 7y/100k, fortunate for the EJ lol So I think I got fairly lucky.

Recently bought a 2017 4Runner 4x4 for $30k. It's definitely on the higher side but compared to the new 4Runners (which are basically the same thing) it's a great price. I've tried to bargain at other dealerships and they basically spat in my face. My 4Runner was legit the only one 50 sqm for a "reasonable" price. I intend on keeping it for like 10+ years I've been eyeing a 5th Gen Runner for YEARS.

The new Dodge demon 170 is a perfect example of insane markups and people willing to pay, most of whom are not actually going to enjoy the car. I offered my dealer 115k, which is nearly 15k above MSRP, more than enough for someone's commission, come to find out all three allocations at my local dealer were already sold with the cheapest one going for 200k. Literally double the price. It's sad.

I experienced the end of bargaining first hand. I had to pay more than my Corolla was worth and I couldn't really budge them on anything. I asked for lower interest rate, they came back with higher lost price. Asked for lower price, came back with higher fees... They just wouldn't negotiate at all. Then they tried to switch the VIN number and trim on me last minute after the deal was pretty much confirmed and I got stuck having to buy a sport trim because I had already sold my car.

I totally understand the dealership situation. When my dad and I went to check out and possibly buy a hellcat at our local dealership (it was used), the dealer was charging an absurd amount over it's actual worth. The car had been in a minor accident prior to being sold to the dealer, so that was an immediate red flag. Being excellent negotiators, we were confident that we could at least get a good amount off the price. Granted, hellcats were being sold like hotcakes so we knew we could possibly get it around MSRP which we were okay with. However, this dealer straight up told us, "No, we aren't negotiating even a cent. We aren't going to lower the price, because we know someone's going to come in here and buy it." We were genuinely shocked. We were there to buy the car because we both love hellcats and wanted to keep and cherish the car. We left and are NEVER going back there. The market is absolutely unbelievable right now. I'm really glad you touched on this topic. Well done :)
