if people actually cared about the price of cars everyone would be driving fits and mirages not surburbans and 4runners

MUSTANGS ARE IN THE 50K RANGE FOR A 5.0. 100K MUSTANG IS A SHELBY.

Trueee, but aint a fully loaded GT like 65, 70K?

the dollar has lost a lot of its value. I’m leasing my next vehicle. Tax deductions.

 

[MikelArteta]

It still amazes me how people still buy brand new vehicles

Especially unless you are a legit multi-millionaire. But I guess someone has to be a guinea pig for these new cars on the market

interest rates are much cheaper on new vehicles than used

One you start reading these articles and actually look into buying cars and homes, you realize these articles aren’t even talking to you.


You have so many people saying they can’t afford a home because it costs $400,000, but when did people start thinking $400,000 was the norm? When did people stop buying fixer uppers and starter homes? When did people stop buying homes outside of the expensive areas? The hood still selling houses



Same with cars. Remember we use to buy cars just to make it through the winter? Or at least get you from a to z. Now? Everyone thinks they suppose to have brand new.



These are self created problems.

I almost smack my girl because I told her i have to get my alternator fixed

She was like this is like the 3rd thing this year u had to get fix, you need to get a new car

Im like u need to smarten up , why would I invest into a used $30,000 or even worse 60k car if my shyt is paid off and i work from home and im not in my 20s or 30s anymore

I live for myself, you live to please others opinions

That's girl math for you

YEAH. BUT USUALLY DON'T BUY THOSE. ONCE YOU PASS 65K, YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET A SHELBY AND RETAIN THE VALUE.

Interest rates don't matter if you can afford the car

You will own nothing and be happy........

Because I’m mechanically inclined, I would take that same $780 and buy a shytbox each month, have 12 shytboxes and fix each of those up to sell for a profit repeatedly then go and by a CPO Honda in cash to drive into the ground

You don’t need a $700+ car note, you just need YouTube, a $50 set of harbor freight wrenches, and some time to learn how to work on cars yourself to avoid this dumbass hamster wheel

What car can you get for under $2k in 2025? Most shyt boxes sell for 3-5k.

$400k is an average or starter home in many places. And it’s not even an option in others.
