Only ten? I've had my car for 25 years now and its still going strong. I just fix stuff when it breaks and perform the maintenance and don't beat the heck out of it when I drive. Zero speeding tickets and zero collisions with maintenance and proper car can make a car last a really long time.

@@DWebOscarthey also report your driving history to insurance companies now through the in vehicle telemetry, no thx ill keep my 2017

Keeping it for a long time is the only solid plan anyway. Trading card after 3 years is throwing money in the garbage can.

Good 1

I thought it was because they keep a defibrillator in the office.

"Did you sign the waiver and bring the required change of underwear?" "Yes" "Ok, the buy-it-now price, before tax, title, dealers fees, destination charge, and dealers member lube fee is..."

Lol​@@UmmmmmmmWhat

That's one option. If you follow the signs that say "defibrillator" to end of the yard, the prices are posted there. No medical waiver required, but you must be accompanied by someone who is a holder of a current first aid certificate.

Yep, "Car Market Is Gonna Crash Real Soon" videos have been going for like two years now.

@@james-pBingo. I tune in just for giggles, the dealers around me have a good supply and they don’t seem to be lowering prices, I’m in the market for a newer used truck and prices are insane. But they are not calling me back with good news on price reduction. Stats don’t mean anything and dealers are not closing anytime soon or having a fire sale

He’s been milking this for 2 years…he’s become a used car grifter

it reminds me of those videos that said China was going to collapse. Still waiting...

He’s talking about leading measures… y’all are expecting lagging measures

Isnt that crasy!!

i keep seeing older trucks on the road more often now. I myself have an 06 Silverado that i will never let go. The last of the greatest trucks.

They didn't increase the prices of American trucks by 250%.

@@hochhaul ... I was shopping for a truck real time in 2020 through 2022... Trucks that msrp'd for $38,000 were $66,000 at the dealer 18 months later and then $90,000+... They're back down to about $80,000 now... So yes they did.

We need the old 2002 Ford Rangers back

I don't understand if Carmax is selling at a rate of 5% less, why are they buying more from dealers? Wtf

You have to remember that it takes it two to tango in any car deal, and the general buyer also had a hand in causing problem. They all caved just like they did during Covid wearing those stupid masks and all laid down and paid the prices! And, here we are!

You’ll be feeling extra warm and fuzzy when the government bailouts funnel billions of tax dollars into mega corporations to “save” them. This is all by design of course. We are economic cattle for the whims of sociopaths.

I agree. The only way price comes down is with price rejection. I don't like paying 18 dollars for a Big Mac so I don't buy them anymore. They get them back down to the 5 dollar range ... I might start buying them again. This holds true for houses, cars, etc. This isi the exact reason we buy when people are selling and selling wizen people are buying. Rich folks have figure this out a long time ago. I ask people all the time.. you compalin about buying things but you are part of the problem. Stop buying that over price ... whatever. Enough of us do this... price will come down. We are starting to see that in the car and housing markets. But it has just started. It will accelerate and might last for years. Deflation is one of the dirtiest words in capitalistic debt based system. If you are rich you DO NOT want deflation... you want inflation. If you are poor or middle class you absolutly want deflation. The end of the GFC was the prime time to buy residential houses. Not right before it ... when it was apparent we were in a bubble. Just like we are in now.

China is about to pounce on super cheap cars and will decimate the American market.

No they are going to get a buzz cut

Remember that they also said they would be cutting rates more than once this year yeah.....

You believed them? Guess what! The “FED” is private.

Economy too hot. Fed thought it was going to slow, for years now everyone says economy is going to slow in 6 months

“Desert Protection Package” Window tint in front two windows, UV resistant wax, scotch guard on seats, door edge guard. $3,500 markup on a $25,000 car. I literally laughed in their faces

Remember the housing bubble ? The car market will burst. Just be patient and wait for it

Try different brand

So true! Been to five different dealers in the last 2 weeks! Still tacking on this ridiculous add ins and above MSRP

wait until you have to do service lol

If you can turn a wrench it's a no brainer... I got to put a lift in

In Europe they're trying to pass a law to make it illegal to repair a car older than 15 years

Keep looking out for a private seller. It’ll take some time, but you’ll eventually find a deal. I just did after a few months.

I literally bought a 20 year old Acura TL 6 speed as a backup daily driver for $4k in case I wear out my current daily driver in the meantime. I've bought new cars before and still own an E46 M3 too, but that's all I'm willing to spend in the car market until sanity returns.

Yes he does, also his buddies Zach and Ray do the exact same thing .. But we all click on so.

There ain't going to collapse this year or even next year, we just import 5,000 illegals a day to fill in the gaps anyway possible. It's happening folks.

good for you

Car salesman are losers

post a review online, people post reviews for bad dealers. they manipulate reviews on google - fight back

WOW

That is a sales teckniques. They have you sitting there or walking around the lobby looking at the cars up front. It's the same reason it seems to take forever to negotiate a price and get through financing at a dealer. It's a way of wearing you mentally and physically down. So in the end you may agree to that higher payment. Oh it's only 15 dollars more a month for a rust treatment or some other aftermarket add on.

And sell them to people with sub-prime credit scores, just to be sure that everything will go great!

They were famous for paying stupid amounts for used cars.

Works for Tesla,,,, unfortunately.

once you sell cars you are always selling your mouth as its permanent. try getting into an argument with someone like this. next phase lawyer.

Found the car salesman

LMFAO

Good for you! Thank you for understanding what humanity is and being blessed by God not to sell your soul for so little! This system would not be functioning without willing participants who no longer have a conscience.

Where should we go for good price and a reliable car in DFW/ Dallas area .

@@bluev38 I'd say the best place is you. Start with the type of vehicle your looking for and KZfaq search reviews for that model. You'll probably get recommendations for other similar brands and models that are more reliable or affordable. Get the Kelly blue book value of that vehicle and start comparing prices around wherever your willing to go to get one. If you don't know a mechanic that can look over the vehicle when you take it for a test drive, try to set up a quick diagnostic test or lookover at a repair shop or garage. If this isn't ideal for you there are now people who will do the shopping and negotiation for you. They will do a consultation first and give you a ballpark idea of what you can expect and what their fee will be. Just do an online search for people who find or negotiate car deals for other people in the DFW area. Hope this helps God Bless you!

You have a conscious. To bad others don't.

No shit! When people get back to reality and everything isn’t made out of 24 carat gold

Meant to say Not sell to other dealers.

that's fine we will wait for chapter 11 and then buy them when they get liquidated

😂😂

That’s what I thought until I went to the dealer to buy the $3k cheaper car. They tried to charge $3k for a “reconditioning fee”.

They want any rich dummy to go and buy with no questions ask and you better make sure you thank carmax for the privilege of being taken advantage. That’s what salesman think of anybody who walks through that door already sizing you up for the shakedown

They do the no haggle approach, which means you get shafted with no lube and you'll be happy about it.

@@AlphanumericCharactersYep, that’s what they do. You have to read their disclaimers before you go there or call inquiring about a vehicle you AREN’T interested in to go get the full list of what additional fees they will add on.

I got my Hyundai Kona SEL brand new for 25k and got a great deal on my trade at my local Hyundai dealership. I LOVE the 2024 Kona!

Prices go up quickly but they go down slowly. It's always this way. Dealer lots in my area are overflowing with stock.

Greed.

@@ketoauntie7301 Philly suburbs

Yeah shifting into higher priced vehicles, them offering more your vehicle means they don’t have enough inventory and will take anything they can get, if they barely offer a decent price for your trade in it means they have too much inventory mate

You stuned the the ol geezer by coming out with the left and right hooks at the same time 😅

😂😂😂😂😂

That’s the Mike Tyson style of car buying. Give them your phone number and leave and they’ll be calling soon.

Well, if he didn't make a somewhat reasonable counter offer - then you did not waste all your time playing their games for nothing. Why spend several hours in a process that should take 15 minutes to get an OTD price agreement? Of course, reading and signing all the paperwork will add another 30 minutes or so to the time. What they do not appear to understand is that I do NOT need a replacement vehicle. So they have satisfy me to make a sale - not convince me to agree to the high profit that they want.

Definitely gonna have flat spots

It will when they go bankrupt.

Which means selling the stock short is a bargain. Carpe diem!

You have no idea how much I agree with you. If I was not all in... massively short already and had any dry powder left, I would short it or buy puts right here right now. The car market is going to drop like a rock. Folks that understand this are going to get a 65k for 30k or even less and of course this is a forward indicator on what is going to happen to the commercial and residential real estate market. There is going to massive opportunities for those who know how to take advantage of them... of course we always use stop loss orders to define our risk. Not every trade work in our favor. We don't need them to as long as we cut our losses quick and let or winner run. I think the car market is going to fall for years.... not months. I will let the charts tell me what to do.

That's why their prices are so high 😂

@@GeneralChangOfDanang It won't be the first time this company goes bankrupt. Lets not forget this store was a spin off from Circuit City.....

@@RareGenXer it's not an analogy. Carmax first started as Circuit City.

Salesperson to customer, whadooya mean the cars too high prices, just feeding your kids twice a day and you will be able to afford the car payment by the 28th of the month 😅

I'm guessing it is like business rent prices in New York City. If they drop prices, their official (not actual) lot value will drop, and people they do business with, like banks, will panic.

Simple they bought high and don’t want to sell low. At best they want to break out even. So they are gambling on just holding it.

No, they don’t. If they can’t scam some sucker, they’d rather let it go to auction or Carmax instead of actually give a consumer a real discount.

4.9 straight six? Oh yeah

You paid for a new car and more just in mpg difference

Oops, you used bloodbath, correctly

Those prices are ridiculous… the market will crash and they can only blame themselves, they created that situation

⁠@@ShotgunWizard more than likely it will not crash, prices might return to pre pandi but that’s not a crash that’s just the market readjusting. A collapse would be prices being more than 20% less than what they were in 2019. Prices for most vehicles are still above 2019 prices….especially trucks and SUVs which are still about 10k - 30k above what they were in 2019 even with the recent “discounts” and incentives

😂😂😂😂

@@ShotgunWizarddon’t be fooled when they say prices have reduced by record amounts because prices increased by higher record prices. If prices aren’t lower than 2019 then it’s NOT really a discount and much less a collapse

For me, the 25 year Import rule and the Chicken Tax for light trucks or so, HAS TO GO, NOWWWW.

I figure they bought it from the BMW dealership in Saint Petersburg that has been unable to sell a couple of 2023 M240i for a year and a half cause they are asking $53k for them and they have been sitting on the lot for a long long time. If they had been reasonable I would have taken a look at them.

get bmw to order one for you

Check the parking lots by the airports and ports. You can see cars across the horizon. They would rather ship these to Africa and sell them for freight cost than sell them in the US and rob themselves of a high dollar rip off. They'll even scrap these brand new vehicles before discounting them. Watch the 2023 model years go missing.

They have dealer only auctions, so yeah, they can disappear quickly after auction days.

They dumped them all at auction 😂

It depends on the day of the week

sold to dealers who manage to stay afloat.

Boat anchors maybe
