There's good news to this, and that is, if they can't pay their car loan, they sure aren't going to be able to keep car insurance on it, which will result in their insurance lapsing resulting in driver's license suspension due to no insurance coverage. This will get the druggies and other bottom feeders off our roads.

I just spent $800 on new tires for my 2004 Rav.

The old ones had 20-30k left and the guy asked
why I was replacing them. I told him that I'm
thinking they'll be $1600 if I wait and he nodded
and laughed.

Bait & switch ad. Encountered these before.
In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined:

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

USED CAR PRICES ARE NOT COMING DOWN, THEY ARE GOING UP

What I believe is happening is : The Chip shortage is bullshit; is there a chip shortage on iPHONES or CPU chips ? NO.

Carvana I believe is being subsidized by the Fed to pay WAY OVER BOOK PRICE for cars IN ORDER TO GET THEM OFF OF THE MARKET.

Blackrock is doing the same thing with Houses.

Why do they want fewer cars and HOMES IN THE SUBURBS ? AGENDA 2030 thats why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its part of the radical Green agenda.

I just sold my 2016 truck to Carvana last week and made 5k on it. pd 12.5k, and sold for 18k

been looking for a clean toyota yaris for 6 months on all of the online websites,,,,,,The very few there are out there, they want crazy prices.

2012 Yaris 71k miles 8500$. Went to look at it this morning and its a RUST BUCKET. Funny thing is, the dealer is ghetto as hell and their office was in a vacant building that used to be the topless/bottomless strip club back in the 70's.

This is the best deal I have seen in 6 months.

in 2020 before Covid, I could have bought a 2 yr old Yaris with 40k miles from Hertz for 10k$ no problem.

As far as loans go, for over 30 years the scam in Detroit was this : The Sista would buy a new car with the first month payment and nothing down. She would get the plates using a ripoff insurance scam and never make a payment after that for the car or insurance. In Detroit, the police dont bother with traffic violations and they can drive the car for a year then sell it to a chop shop. This shit went on for decades until the fed finally caught on. They FORCED MEL FARR SUPERSTAR Dealership to come clean and Mel Farr ( football player) had to put electronic kill switches in his cars if boomsheeka did not pay weekly.

Of course, the suburbs had to pay for this scam by Increased Insurance ( we have the highest in the nation, Detroit area).

The market relies on functional banking.

Reliable power and communications rely on a friendly local government and a capitalist non-fascist supply system.

Already collapsed in Russia

Thread: REPORT: Russia’s Car Manufacturing Collapses by 97% in May

Auto production in Russia has slowed to a crawl after major automakers exited and Western governments imposed debilitating sanctions on Moscow in response to its invasion of Ukraine.

Russia manufactured 3,700 cars in May, 97% fewer than the same month last year, the country’s statistics agency Rosstat said late Wednesday.

Output fluctuated at the start of the year, with 95,000 cars in January and 108,000 in February, before plummeting to 40,800 in March — the first full month after President Vladimir Putin ordered troops to attack Ukraine.

Russia manufactured a total of 268,000 vehicles between January and May this year, less half of the amount over the same time last year.

Truck and bus production in May fell by nearly 40% and 6.5%, respectively, compared with May 2021.

Russia’s automotive industry employs 300,000 people and 3 million more work in related industries.

Only two out of 20 car plants remain in Russia after major automakers halted production and stopped sales over the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

Sales of the country's most popular and affordable brand, Lada, sank by nearly 84% in May, the Association of European Businesses has said.

Trade and Industry Minister Denis Manturov has attributed a 30% price hike for vehicles to inflation, rising costs of parts and the strengthening ruble.

I wonder if this is because the glorious Russian army needs the Ladas for missile launchers?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83792446


There's a major shortage of tanks for the Russians because they either abandoned them and ran away or Ukrainian farmers stole them or they got blown away with Javelins.

Could well be, Obama's Cash for Clunkers phase 2, same thing but done secretly. Feds have to pour in the same amount of money either way.

But it means the increase in used car prices isn't fake. They'll hold that value, due to scarcity as well as fundamental value, at least the older simpler ones.

Come to think of it, this way is probably cheaper for the Feds. Game theory and all that. People won't be expecting the supply to shrink as much, so they won't require as much to turn in their cars. The people behind Cash for Clunkers had time to think about it and decided this would be a cleverer way to repeat it.
