What the HELL is up with the price of cars?

They are trying to rape everyone last penny from everyone.

you have no money bro

Wrong, I have no debt. They aren't getting any more of my money on new cars. Pure stupidity.

Stupidly insane.my 25 yr old beater needs rack end pinion.hasnt rolled in 3 months.im stuck.i love my 94 camaro,when she runs right.
These new cars are tough as hell though.not like the 80s.300k miles if you treat it right.
Tesla probably 1 million.yeah,surprise.thats why he wants to go all taxi.his cars will be in another class.

Op just Uber like the rest of us millennials

the young guys will still buy those trucks, no matter how much it costs.

Well, someones got to pay for those union wages, pension plans, Executive bonuses and quality recalls every year or so.

Exactly, zero debt here and i'll continue to keep my hunks of junk running. It's a hell of a lot cheaper. I can buy a house for what they want for a new vehicle.

The buyers buy the loan, not the vehicle. Financing is what has allowed the prices to continue their march to infinity.

Think about it like this: Most folks would buy a $1,000,000 car as long as they can afford the payment. The ramifications of this, long term, are obviously going to be disastrous.

Search online and make the dealer a reasonable offer.

I got a RAM one ton crew cab long bed with no frills for $39K four years ago.

I got a Jeep Compass for $16K a year ago. Same method.

I made the offer by email and they accepted without arguing. They gotta move the vehicles.

Wait until the sales numbers drop for a better deal.

A friend of mine is a supervisor on a road crew and he has 2 boys right out of high school and have only been there a few months. Both have $60K trucks. Young and dumb, hopefully they figure it out.

I have a Grand Cherokee 2014 ( last model before Fiat takeover) that I found with 45k for 23,000. Got it down to 22,000. I'd say I did ok.

Yeah, I do my own repairs, I have a couple good mechanics and body and paint guys for stuff that is too time consuming or complicated for me. I have practically every tool I need, and I borrow what I don't from the autoparts store.

I'm getting due for another 3/4 ton truck.

no competition.

The prices aren't high, today's dollar is next to worthless.

Build one for less. You won’t

Means your labor/time is worthless.

The banks can’t take all the credit

Government regulations drive prices up as well

You're fucked. They are nothing more than rolling man purses now.

Look to your local auctions for fleet turn ins.

Just bought a $30,000.00 2015 car with low miles like new for $11k. Luxury and fast ! Be smart and find a great deal.

Dont waste your money on that crap, just buy a used clunker for under 2000 and you will be fine. 4 wheels and a seat is all you need to get you where you are going. Looks doesn't matter.

I doubt very many people get a million miles. It's like the ol' Prius craze of a few years ago. I see them piled up in peoples' yards not running. Why? Well turns out that after a few years the lithium batteries won't hold a charge just like your small batteries for lawn equipment get to where they don't hold the charge and you have to replace them.

Fifty dollars for them. But, to replace the lithium batteries for a Prius can cost $7,000 or more!
So when you buy a used electric car they probably are selling it because the batteries are going bad and you are going to pay for the used car then replace the batteries right off the bat and zing! It might just be a really big expensive lawn gnome.

The only market making money.

Gossett Kia can finance most anybody. Gotta love 'em.

40 grand for a dodge , holy shit they saw u coming that’s why accepted your offer right away . U got jipped. Then you bought another dodge ? Am I getting this right ? Don’t come crying at us when your shit starts not working right or the tranny starts to go.
Who would by a dodge , no car company in history has ever produced so many lemons as dodge . Father in-law bought a dodge in 95 it did not even make it 35,000 miles before the trans went out got it fixed then head gasket blew before 40,000.
Never buy a dodge , u want American get a ford at least , but Toyota trucks or the Nissan is the way to go.

I know i'm not buying anything till spring trucks go down then as everyone wants a car with gas mileage .Just looking shaking my head.

They're not lithium. They're nickel metal hydride. And the battery pack is very serviceable. No need to replace the whole battery if just a few packs are bad.

still got the 96 chevy caprice with 230 thousand miles. Runs Great, drive it like an old lady. Wont ever sale it.

Got the 2006 mercury grand marquis as well. less than 100 thousand on it.
Wont ever sale it.

They don't make them like that anymore.

Big Piles of crap, these newer vehicles.

Usury has destroyed this nation.
