EVERYONE IS BROKE And The Car Market Is SCREAMING IT! 

Those mother fuckers!!

Spot on!

Real Estate, Housing Next !!!!!

I diasagree.Inflation is hitting housing, food, clothing, entertainment budgets. They don't have down payments. People also paid too much for cars during Covid with add ones. They are upside down which means they can't afford to trade up.

Car prices do not go down. And prices are not realistic, people in their right mind will not over pay and then lose money.

@jf2176 UAW workers are definitely overpaid.

But the consumers are crazy to buy these expensive cars, are you insane 😜

@jf2176if you cut pay, so prices can come down, then even with the lower prices people can’t afford them…the problem is money printing at the fed, and people thinking they can live outside their financial lane

Many auto manufacturers have been drinking the the EV koolaid of the politicians on the left and lost billions of dollars on the EV sector, so they try to make up the lost by increasing the prices of ICE vehicles that people want. The result is both EV and ICE vehicle sales fall like landslides.

Tax write off for businesses?

Greed kills. Some times people. Some times businesses. Some times industries. Some times governments. No sympathy for the auto industry. When you crap in your own nest this is the result.

We are all suffering now man. Most cannot afford food/shelter let alone an overpriced car.

They ran out of people that can taken advantage of its their fault

You hit it on the nail.

Actually, now seeing the downside effects of the planned (Marxist) economy & the Cantillon effect. Additionally, The corporate executives steal the wealth of the workers and equity investors through their “bonuses” & stock options, when the Fed & tax code create the artificial demand as seen the last couple of years/decades! Those executives did not innovate or invent something to benefit humanity… they just played the corrupt corporate game and paid off gvt. Officials with inside info ( can you say Nancy Pelosi- and pretty much all of the other corrupt politicians!) If you’ve got assets, get ready for some good buys in the next couple of years! 👍🏼

SMART!😊😊😊

They still are. Local Toyota dealer has market adjustment of +$10,000 on Land Cruisers that aren't even on the lot yet.

It’s just business

I have no sympathy for them

Same, I'll just keep driving the 30 year old Chevy

Driving my 1988 Toyota Pickup. It’s cheaper to keep that going infinitely over any modern day junk pile. Cafe rules vs a made in Japan Toyota is an easy decision.

Only new American SUV I know around 30k is the Bronco Sport. The Ford Bronco Sport is probably going to become Fords new consumer SUV. They're the only new ones I've found under 30k.

Same i got a 2008 paid off months ago, i aint buying anything new..

I have five cars, the newest one is 14 years old. Not getting rid of any of them anytime soon.

....but its a Turbo..... 😂🍻

@@mattd5681 yeah...another part that might damage

Amen.

Amen. You got that right.

I'm broke

Well, some people aren't, myself included. I agree that all the carmakers have done the "build it to last the warranty" ethos to the max. $50+k, plus interest, for a vehicle that only goes 60k miles before it's "junk"? Total ripoff.

Well...some o us are broke, but I for the most part agree. I would also add that the car companies shouldn't solely be saddled with the blame, government regulations, union labor, and cost of materials (as a consequence of inflation) are jacking up the price as well.

That’s the Canadian dollar, which is weaker than the US dollar. It’s more like only $52,000 US.

@@EMichaelBallonly?? Haha

@@EMichaelBall I,d rather own a wet fart for 52k than jeep

just 1 btc haha

I see a lot of well fare recipients always driving vehicles they cant afford. Buying large TV's they shouldnt be buying. Waisting money constantly. The only reason I see to drive something new is leased, and as part a business that requires a lot of driving.

It's not about affording it. It's about getting some poor bastard into a dealer financing package and milking them dry till they can't make their payment and they take the car back and just resell it.

Nobody can and there are almost no jobs that can allow people to do that. Self auto repair is becoming popular. Some people even sell their running cars for 500 to make ends meet. This is a massive part of the population.

Smart but too many stupid drivers on the road for me to feel safe on a bike.

@@frankiethefrog1752 he said motorcycle not a bike. Why would you ride a bicycle on the road with cars?

There are reasons why motorcycle insurance is cheap: the actuarials expect you to die in any collision/damage claim, so... no payout.

@Sunset4Semaphores Actually, it's because it's assumed to be a secondary vehicle. I live in New York and only madmen like me will ride in sub-freezing temperatures. Everyone else rides when it's warm out which is only like half of the year.

Sorry but the only ass i know is Trump.

The electronics are actually not that expensive, they started using touch screens instead of nobs and buttons since it's cheaper (molding for all different buttons and nobs), I put most of the blame on safety regulations, which now require a lot of sensors for detection of nearby vehicles, I read a few laws that Congress passed and it's infuriating that consumer choice is being taken away. A bare bones vehicle would not be possible with these regulations. Toyota made a new pickup marketed for countries in Asia and is a bare bones vehicle for around 10k usd (that's what I heard sounds a bit far fetched)

This is exactly right. The electronics and complicated ACs are also the items that seem to break and cost a fortune to fix. I want the old sliders and knobs. Simple is always better, and typically cheaper. The other guy who mentioned all the federal regulations is also correct.

@@somaa5778 not true. The repair of the screens in cars can cost $4000 to replace the first part and you can’t tell if that is the problem, no way to test it. Then if that doesn’t work then you have to replace another 4k part and again you can’t test for it. If the second 4k part doesn’t do it then you have to replace the last part in the system for 3k. This is on Ford vehicles. I had a friend deal with this on his Audi and dug into this to find out it’s all manufacturers that have this set up. The screens have a ton to do with vehicles functions. Check it out, it will blow your mind.

I love the tech would never buy a car without high tech

​​@@somaa5778bullshit. Electronics and the software are ridiculously spendy and very unreliable. This is why you see cars that look perfectly fine sitting in junkyards. It costs more to fix the broken technologies than buy a new car..

and this is why I ain't gonna ever buy a new car, not worth it, old cars are better bought a 2010 1st gen cruze 5 speed manual 2 years ago for 4000 eur, chances are, I could still sell it for the same 4 grand today. newer cars just have too many features chances are most people won't ever use, the only extra feature that I do see useful is the option for a automatic transmission, helps if you live in some big city with equally big traffic jams, and even that automatic can be made cheaper, like either a CVT either a automated manual (that's literally a ordinary manual transmission with a bunch of actuators on it, if those fail and are too expensive to replace you can literally put a shifter and a clutch pedal on it and voilla, standard)

​@@Alexander-jr8nw If you think CVTs are bad, just look at start stop. Having your car turn off every time you stop at a red light is HORRIBLE for the engine. The most stress your engine ever sees is ignition because thats the moment of highest compression and torque. EVERY. SINGLE. NEW. FORD. has start stop. Even their cheapest $40k base model 2 door work truck.

They have a lot of problems

Lol 😂 🤣 it's so tru guy

50k ? Maybe if they lasted 500k miles

Nor pay $3,500 for a POS either!

Yeah plus insurance is out the window….

Same mine was 2013 fully loaded Laramie has everything on it too leather seats heat and cooled really nice truck still have the window sticker lol

In 2015 I paid 48k for a new GMC Sierra 1500 totally loaded,at zero interest. Last year I was offered what I paid for it if I traded it in. Sounded good until I saw the price tag for a new one at 80k. Think I'll keep my 2015, it's paid for and looks great.

Holy crap.

Fr.. all these new vehicles are garbage, they are made to Break so we stay poor

yeah well said! new cars have really shit the bed, it's just to much tech crap, Mercedes for example just needs to give up, their new cars may as well have a starbucks coffee maker inside as well as 4 ipads, I swear to that tech crap takes away from the car. And remember that the new cars are spying on you too, could not be any easier for them.

Yeah the materials used in new cars get worse and worse each year yet the prices are hiking which is a travesty….

I have a 98 Dodge 2500 12 valve diesel. Was at the Dodge dealership recently to get a little part and had a salesman approached me wanting me to trade it in on a new one. I laughed and told him no freaking way and I wouldn’t even if they traded straight across. And meant it. My truck is paid for, extremely reliable, gets over 20 mpg combined, cheap to tag, affordable to insure…… I don’t want at buy a truck that costs twice what my first house cost in 1990.

Omg I have been saying this. Support local small businesses only, don’t but ANYTHING WHATSOEVER unless it’s a necessity.

They don't care if you don't buy cars, it's part of their plan. Easier to implement 15 minute cities if you dont have a car😂

@@reneesfoxynews6652 We lost a quarter of our local businesses thanks to the bureaucratic nonsensical reaction to a bug w/a 99.96% survival rate. The small companies were hardest hit and the small companies that supported them also hit. That little grocery being shut down while the Kroger's, Walmarts, and other food giants could keep there doors open, is a travesty of justice and overreach of "protectionist" government. In 1 year HALF of the small retailers were wiped out (by force - literally had cops "enforcing" closures for our "protection". One big fat lie after another and now the big companies are feeling it. Co-opting & usurping government policies to shudder your competition does not end well for anybody. Now we're all fucked

I just payed my last payment 2 weeks ago on a 72 month car loan and I will never take out another loan like that again. It's too long. I usually trade in after I pay off my loan, but prices are out of control now. I'll keep what I have and buy used from now on

​@@davestorm6718that was their goal all along. Get people afraid. Choke small businesses, large businesses ride out the wave. It's all very calculated

They have a 10 year generation cycle. That’s crazy. If you bought a 2007 wrangler, you could have put 200,000 miles on it then bought a brand new 2017 wrangler and bought the same generation. Then Jeep wants you to pay $60,000+ for a vehicle that has virtually no R&D. Pure profit.

So is 4k

$85,000 for any car is insanity

85k for any car isn't insanity. A BMW 760 LI is totally ok with that shit ton of electronics. Or Mercedes S class. Or other luxury cars or hyper cars.

agree been driving same car now for 15 years it is paid off and everything major has been replaced/repaired

I bought a 2018 jeep compass with 20K miles on it. Transmission has been replaced 2X within 6 months. Trash!

You can if you just refuse to roll over negative equity. When your car payment runs out, half of each payment after that goes back to budget, half to a "next car' savings account. I paid for my new Toyota Minivan in 3 years and kept it over 10 years. We gradually lowered our "next car" deposits after the first three years. The Toy still drives excellent, but our needs have changed and we're ready to spend some of our "next car" account.

I say everybody go new pay off that new car within three years and keep that car for 30+ yrs

Going on 3 years with a $600 car put 30000 miles on it so far now it's at 170000 miles Chevy cavalier 2004 I totally agree with you....I've had to replace the alternator and one tire and tire repairs that's it

15 years ago the average house cost $246,000. I don’t believe you paid $57,000 for a three bedroom house. Either that or your house is like 500 ft.² and located in the most ghetto of ghettos.

Even if the dealership cuts the price in half, their still too much money. It's actually funny. Hey, have we got a deal for you!!! lol

@@nzbrotrev9028 I bought a 2008 Dodge Dakota and was putting money in it at 16 months. I bought a brand new 1991 Toyota Tercel and my wife drove it 16 years before things started to need replacing.

Buying any gas guzzler for that price just makes it worse for stupid consumers and helps them go bankrupt.

100%. The MSRP is inflated by the manufacturers by at least 30%.. then add the dealer markup and you are probably 50-60% over the value of the vehicle

Oh yes it can. Unless you have some relative that’s a Rothschild or an executive of the Builderburg group.

Yes even 55k is ridiculous for a modern car that's basically a disposable product.

It’s also frustrating that the vast majority of my repair costs are for the government required, but unnecessary, diesel emissions system. This government mandated and very expensive system drastically lowers my fuel economy and engine performance, yet it increased the retail cost I paid by at least $10k.

@@QoraxAudioHow the hell is a car disposable? Wtf you talking about

@@arcdestroyed It's become a non-serviceable product for the most part and only lasts a few years. Properties of a disposable product, much like any other product that has become a "smart" device.

Ironically, Henry Ford's original intention was to produce a vehicle his workers COULD afford.

A lot of it has to do with emissions and safety regulations. If someone could still build something like a Geo Metro or a 90's truck would be cheap to build today too. Instead of buying a new truck I'll probably just buy from a parts catalog and make a 70's or 80's one.

your government keeps printing money and sending it overseas or giving it to corporations. That's why prices have doubled in the last 15 years

but wait I thought that is why auto workers always strike because the 25 30 35 40 dollar or more job ain't enough funny thing though about profits you know the thing that keeps a company in business if cost go(labor) up and prices remain the same profits go down to maintain the same profits price has to go up really simple

@@elonever.2.071My husband is looking for an older truck, even 20-30 years old. People want $10K+ for a 30 year old truck with an automatic transmission.

@@cwhit2575 Sure for effect, but the fact those highest priced models are that high is still ridiculous.

Yeah but that’s what you’re gonna be seeing a lot more of because of supply and demand. The supply of used cars in good condition is going down because they can’t afford to buy new ones so the demand for used goes up which in turn makes prices soar even for the ones nobody wants because that’s all there is. A 200k car for 4500 that runs and drives at least halfway decent could last for 4-5 years if not more with around 1-2k of parts and that is deal.

Last year a friend of mine bought a 2000 Toyota Camry with 350k miles for 1500 bucks and so far he’s put like 30k on it and hasn’t done shit except for oil changes.

Yea the government will bail them out so it will come from our hands anyways. Oh the circle goes round.

Greed may be part of it, but when the metal, wiring, computer chips, the payfor the factory workers increasing to remain competitive etc. all cost 4x as much as it did 5 years ago it's not all greed, it's what they have to charge to manufacture them. They make a profit because they have to pay their bills and sales workers too. It's the state of the economy being in the garbage that's to blame.

Only a matter of time though before the bureaucrats force these old reliable cars off the road.

My girls rolla is a 99 with 350 so I think you got a few more miles in it 😂

I JUST laid to rest my 2009 Civic. That thing was a TANK (even in the snow with decent tires). Toyota and Honda are the best man… ESPECIALLY for older cars (“beaters”).

As long as the axle doesn't fall off the freeway and it still runs, it's all good

Keep driving it and watch it’s value go up. New car reliability is terrible and people are realizing older cars are much better.

Honestly the car manufacturers themselves suck. And theyre not getting better, theyre getting worse

How'd they screw u? Nobody forced u to buy anything. You sound like those that say they were forced to take student loans.

@@wLBlue i can tell u how, with fancy little sentences on contracts your average person knows nothing about or using deceptive tactics, like asking for downpayment, keeping it for themselves, while then adding that same amount you gave them as debt to your first monthly payments of the car, etc, there are a lot of predatory contracts out there hidden as good business, with an attitude like that it shows how you dont give a F about the average consumer, some people out there that cant even read, for such an intelligent individual your lack of common sense is astonishing, or you were just baiting ,to get a reaction like this?

@@wLBluethey screw you because they are dishonest. They’ll shine up a turd and sell it to you for the price of a diamond while the average person has zero knowledge of how vehicles so they have no clue or choice but to trust the car salesmen.

@@wLBlue if I go hang a light in a persons home, I could charge them 800 bucks because they have no idea what it took for me to pull wire to the switch then to the light. Or your whole bathroom is dead and I come over and reset their GFCI receptacle but charge em 500 bucks. It’s slimy and you can’t have good morals and blatantly screw people over. Prying on ignorance is not a good business practice. There’s a reason car salesmen have a stereotype.

for that price it would've been cheaper to replace the transmission and engine with it

And new car prices in the 80's are as much as eating McDonald's now.

Said the same thing thats crazy💯

Because people can live in a car or truck

​@@troyrockwell7744 Why do you guys think the WEF said you will own nothing?

You mean 2008!

No it’s not lol it’s the governments fault

It's your fault

​​​@@s14sr240silvia No it's corporate greed, despite selling fewer cars, auto manufacturers are making as much or more by artificially inflating prices. Welcome to a free market system. You want to be able to blame the govt for high prices, move to China or North Korea. It's not enough for corporations to turn a profit, they have to show large gains annually to make more and more money for their shareholders and justify the ungodly executive salary bonuses every year. Also why alot of layoff's happen late in the fiscal year, that adds to the profit margin. I'll caveat that you can blame the legislative branch for letting their coporate donors dictate much if not all legislation they pass, that goes for both parties. But then you have to blame the citizenry for voting those asshats into office again and again.

Dealership markups were over 10k in many instances. Their greed was a major factor. I drive a 2012 Honda accord with 188k miles on it. I don’t need to validate my existence with an overpriced vehicle that does the exact job my current t car does.

Stop buying the overpriced vehicles. We have the power. No customers prices must come down because the business will come down. The business owners are laughing and saying…dummies

Wouldn't you if your business relied on polished turds lmao

Or like they are doing us a favor by letting us buy a car.

Awee maaan…me too!

Lemme guess: Panther body? Maybe Taurus

I have a mustang LX 86 four-cylinder it's a pinto motor and it's sitting in my garage because for some reason the vibration makes the bolts come undone on the carburetor but someday I'll get it working again

I had a car from 1986 until about 1997. Getting rid of that car was the best thing I ever did. If I still owned the car bought in 97, it wouldn't be able to be tracked or shut off remotely either.

Not long ago (few yrs) a $450-500 car payment was considered *A LOT!*

He said car payment of 700 not 450. Big gap .. js

This means those of us who can buy a new car should start watching out for a good deal. Finally

that will buy a new car. it depends what car youre buying and your down payment. i have a 2024 honda crv where i put $6500 down. my payment is $519/mo. but there are brand new cars that cost under $20k still. the payments on those could probably be $200 or $300

No no.... We're broke too for sure ....

Start building a specialized home in the Rockies, to prepare for the coming reset cataclysm event

If I had that, I'd buy back my '69 1/2 Ford Maverick.

2013 could get you a STEAL

I bought a 2007 grand caravan in 2008 used with 6k miles, i still drive it @255k.

​@@reddune6185 my dads car is a old Mercedes with 400k on it it's insane how well made cars used to be. Now they just fall apart if you think about braking a bit 2 hard

@@reddune6185 You got the right year. Was the last year with the Column shifter and was traditional looking to the 90’s.

@@42luke93I was a Dodge tech for 13 years, they had fixed everything wrong with that model, and I can still fix EVERYTHING on it. 👍

Red pill fun fact: That harmless drama is catnip to a woman. Keep that car for that reason, alone.

and what is your so called classic car you drive?

I thinks it a Pinto😂​@@WarpedTrekker

Good for you, why you sharing this?

I’ve had my 77 Monte Carlo since 1989. I’m keeping it forever.

You're leaving out "trade in values" And longer financing. Go over to good car bad car - the overall numers don't match this guys B/S

Regular blue collar workers cant afford these. Add Bidenomics in to it and it's much worse. People still have to eat. Everything is four times the price. 16 dollar happy meals and such. Our Republic is about to implode. Lay offs are increasing daily. Blame the communist democrats.

FINALLY SOMEONE SPOKE THA TRUTH 😎😎😎 now get ready for WAR they will have to give them away in the future

You got that right. The wages haven't change in 10 years, but inflation is kicking everyone butt.

@@rodimuspm No, it's not. Corporate America is by raising prices and increasing their profits. Also the consumer also causes it. We just keep buying.

About 3k for a new engine. We are replacing engine in a 2000 silverado at work.

They can't afford them but the buy them anyway.

To build a similar home today, as a custom house (even with basic trimmings) on land you already own, would cost well over $400k. I know because a friend of mine tried to build on their parents' property, and for a ~1500sq ft house with brick exterior, there was no builder willing to take less than $450,000.

@@jasperjazz4467 My house is 1,950 sq. ft. and I bought it in 2022 for $352K. Nice to see that principal getting chopped down and the slight rise in value. Owning a home is a business.

that $118,000 is CAD not USD. listen closer bro mentions "Canada" few times

@@frx1p32dz2 thanks, sorry I missed that. So as of today, that's $85,950 US dollars. A top of the line, 1991 brand new Ford truck cost $22,795.45, that's a three fold increase in cost. The house I referred to in the original post has increased in value at the same rate, approximately 3 times the original purchase price. Problem is that the house has continued to increase in value while the trucks will only depreciate over time.

Also markets are rigged. Go look around and you'll see thousands of vehicles packing dealership lots. Wouldn't simple supply and demand dictate that the prices would be dirt cheap since there is clearly an oversupply of vehicles? Well Yes --but clearly not in Our supposed free market form of capitalism. The system ain't broken it's fixed!
