More of this collaboration on finances, economy, real estate and the auto industry! This is a big win for viewers. Thank you, gentlemen!

There's not a pickup on this planet worth $80k or $85k. The automotive manufacturers/ dealerships have lost their minds.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving industry.

Sorry but $4500 for a vehicle with 200k miles is not a deal. It's a rip off. I'm tired of seeing that. 3 years ago people were giving away those cars on Craigslist not trying to make 5k off them. It's absurd

A $700+ payment is insane for the average person. Especially with sky rocketing rents and home prices.

Remember when dealers were adding $10,000 to the price of used cars, calling it a "market adjustment"? Yeah, I don't feel bad for any car dealership that goes out of business. They got greedy and now they are paying for it. Let it burn. They did it to themselves.

I could easily pay cash for a new truck, but refuse to pay $40K, $50K, $75K for a vehicle. Will keep my 1999 Toyota Tacoma.

Shrinkflation: 2021: Chevy Blazer lt2 308hp v6: $39,000 2024: Chevy Blazer : 228hp 2.0 turbo: $43000+

Me with a 2012 Toyota Rav4 That's paid off and only 41k miles: "yeah imma just keep ridin"

We are not broke. We are simply sick of car corporations screwing us over, overcharging us for poorly made products and continually raising prices to gouge us!

I will never in my life spend $100,000 on a truck. I will buy a donkey and name it Brandon first.

Imagine how much cheaper vehicles would be if we got rid of the useless tech, like giant infotainment screens, 6 zone climate control, electric windows, etc. I bet if someone made a bare bones vehicle, it would sell like mad.

I can buy every part to make my 2000 Silverado brand new and it would be less than $20,000 - let that sink in

60+k for a basic Jeep is beyond logic.

I paid off my car back in Jan. I’d rather spend 3k on up keep than have a monthly payment on a new or used car.

LOL some of us have been saying "the market is broken" about the house prices for 20 or 30 years. Nothing is gonna change. Prices will never come down. Matter of fact, I bet every single car is gonna be over $100k soon. Eventually you won't be allowed to own a car.

I'm a welding inspector make 130k minimum a year. Still drive my 2003 honda accord ... I rather eat rib eye and collosal shrimp everyday than paying 90k for a new truck or car. It's ridiculous. New cars are highly unreliable anyways

We're not broke. Our wallets staying closed is a "market adjustment".

When I worked at the dealership, in 2009-2012, there was not a base model truck available to regular consumers. The only way to buy a baseline truck was through a fleet program. The only trucks on the lot available to regular consumers were Platinum trim level. Trucks had more luxury than Lincoln cars did.

Seeing prices skyrocket always has me thinking "man who tf can afford this?". turns out, nobody can. Nobody could before but now its been made impossible to afford $1.5k a month for just a car.

Not a single one of those vehicles are anywhere close to being worth those prices. Not a single one.

$85K for a Jeep Wrangler is true insanity.

Car prices in general are out of hand and i blame govt for that there is no reason a civic is 35k

I know someone that works at a Ford plant in East Chicago, IN & they’re contracted thru a temp service. The unionized workers actually were on strike bc even the permanent employees were not making livable wages. Yet they charge what they charge.

Not that we are broke. We just ain't stupid enough to pay 90 grand for a vehicle.

Corporate greed is quickly eliminating the middle class

Back in 2015 I got my truck brand new off the lot, 0% for 5 years. $46k Canadian for a 1/2 ton. Now the identical truck but 2024 is $76k. Absolutely insane

This is why I bought a motorcycle. $30/month in insurance, 50mpg, 7k brand new, and I spent a few hundred dollars in heated gear to keep me warm in the winter. It works out great. Gets me from point A to point B. Don't need to go super fast, just need to get there.

Houses became the price of mansions, and cars became the old price of houses, and executive salaries and shareholder wealth has exploded. Thank you economy.

It's bad enough that new vehicles are outrageously expensive, but they are also largely irreparable trash.

The root cause of all this turmoil amounts to not only extortion in the automobile industry, but also the resource industry. The price for resources like steel, rubber, microchips, etc. are through the roof.

This is why in many countries Korean and Chinese cars are booming, because they're 1/3 the price brand new. And there's some good stuff like the Kia Stinger GT, Cherry Tiggo and MG ZS. They aren't insane work horses, but they get you around and are reliable and full of features. Went on a road trip here in New Zealand few months ago, drove a brand new 2023 MG ZS for the week. Full media centre, lane assist, automatic cruise control, Led headlights, etc...and it was fantastic for my road trip. Costs about US$15k brand new.

15 years ago I paid $57,000 for a 3 bedroom house, put in another $10,000 in elbow grease & my payments are $400/month. Spending more on a vehicle than a house is absolutely absurd.

At the same time, seeing all those $60k+ cars just sitting there gathering dust makes me smile. Screw those greedy fkrs.

*My 1995 F-150 (purchased new in 96) just keeps getting better and better*

That’s just for the vehicle, you still have to pay for insurance, maintenance, fuel, etc.

I'm not broke but I'm damn sure not buying anything I don't need either.

Never buying a new car again. Not buying a used car over 5k ever again. It's so stupid out there right now.

I'm 21 and I see no reason in getting a car or truck! Prices are outrageous and insurance is somewhat a scam. Like paying 300-750 on top of 775 rent while only making 14 dollars an hour is literally impossible. If I were to get a car/truck I'd be forced into debt. But it's ok I'm in the best shape of my life cause I ride a bike everywhere. Shit is damn near slavery for my generation it's ridiculous! I can't wait for my peers to wake up from are brain rotted society that only cares for monetary gains!

I bought a 1200sqft, 3 bedroom 2 bath with half an acre in town in Texas at $89k in 2020. At these prices, buying a new truck is like buying my home again.

It's not "getting out of hand", it's been out of hand. It's past out of hand.

It warms my heart to know dealerships can have their cars repossessed😏😊

I left the US in 2009. I left behind a 94 Camaro, 2004 Montero and a 2008 Suburban. A family member has kept them for me in a barn and run them occasionally to keep fluids from going off and seals going bad. In 2022 I asked that family member to send the Montero and Burb to auction to just get 5 or 6 grand and off load the headache. They sold for a combined total of 32 grand. My auction fees were more than what I wanted for them originally. Imagine how much I would have got to sell them private. More than I paid for them new and with a hundred thousand miles less on each of them. What the hell.

Take every new car and cut $20,000 right off the top. Trucks... take $30,000 to $40,000. None of them are worth what the asking price is.

Wow, whatta novel concept, hang on to your Vehicles and pay them off. When I retired My wife and I bought two brand new cars, nothing fancy. 12 yrs later, those cars are long paid off, still going strong. The plan has always been to drive ‘em ‘til the Wheels fall off. Taking care of your shit pays off, believe it or not. I don’t mind driving a 20 yr old Vehicle , zero Car-Payments is well worth it. The Consumer has been BS’d into believing “You gotta have a new vehicle every 3 yrs” The worst thing ever, the invention of Car-Leasing.

These greedy corporations can go broke and I won't shed a tear. When you rob the public, you reap what you sow !

Trucks now cost as much as Condominiums did 10 years ago. Ridiculous

Was looking through an old Autocar magazine from 1998. Back when cars were brand new at £7000. Even when I passed my test you could buy a new car for £7/8000 - back in 2008. Glad I don't ever have a hankering for new cars.

Fair price/good car, always going good! Let those overstickers go down on demand! Huge win for a whole market 🎉

There Aint no person shedding a tear for dealerships closing .

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

Most people could never afford new cars, they pay check to check. If they lose their job, the car is gone with it.

Been watching these videos on and off for at least a year… car prices are still insane! There’s no sign the dealers are in trouble!

A pickup truck or Jeep costing $80k-90K is just absolutely insane!

I work at an auto manufacturer and build a truck I can’t even afford. Corporations have greedy management, the rich keep playing us for fools, it’s time we bring it to a halt

i work for a parts house and we've been so busy over the last four years since Covid it's just crazy. A lot of people are fixing their used cars rather then trading them in because the price for used or new is out of control.

I had to pay 5K for a 16 year old Honda Civic. (92,000 miles) I though it was insane at the time, but I'm glad I did. It is cheap and reliable. I've had people try and buy it off me, not a chance.

I drive a 2005 Toyota Corolla. 211k miles. Rusting. Paint peeling. Starts. Every. Time!

As someone else said, we are not broke. We just choose to NOT pay ridiculous prices for a new vehicle.

Somewhere after 5:00 , you know with all three brand new vehicles I've purchased recently and no longer own. It's too bad that going to the dealership was a worse experience than buying a private sale vehicle. If one is going to go through so much effort to get a brand new car you would think the car they're selling you would come with no issues like... The first one a Pontiac had a bad electrical harness. Got to love a vehicle that stutters when you tilt the whole vehicle just slightly like when you're going down a rolling hill and all of a sudden the vehicle starts vibrating because the ABS is like oh you're pressing the brake while you are literally coasting. Or the other one I believe it was a Saturn, selling a vehicle with a broken or fractured frame is dumb. If you knew it fell off the flat truck bed maybe someone should have gotten under the vehicle and noticed that the frame was literally torn in half on one side before selling the damn vehicle to me. Them saying that noise is just the road and not the vehicle while you have full trust there a vehicle dealership. That their third vehicle so dumb beautiful Nissan Xterra. Even with in the paperwork saying they have a second engine selling the vehicle while knowing there's a air gap in the oil is dumb you just need to drop the damn tan and then refill it after replacing the pan. Not angry just sharing please be careful when buying new vehicles anyways. I'm noticing a lot more being sold without particular required parts like if you have lock nugs and they don't sell you the damn device or give you the device to remove your own lug nuts. Or like with my friend and the heated seats selling them the car saying this car has heated seats and then afterwards saying oh you have to pay x amount of dollars per month to have those seats work it's like dudes I got the car cuz of the seats I live in cold weather. Then after that then getting angry with you for setting up a damn toggle switch and an external battery it's like guys the parts in the car I purchased the The car I should be able to tinker with it. After hearing the tail I was like dudes watch they're going to make us not be able to change your own spark plugs but then again look at the Nissan Sentra and ask why did they put the manifold over the spark plugs who wants to remove a manifold just check the spark plug gap.

My 240K km 2012 Honda Accord V6 will have to last me a long long time. Its a sweet car, typical maintenance, reliable and fun.

I have an old 1986 car. No one can track it or shut it off remotely. I'm keeping it.

I gave $1300 for my '04 Ford in 2018, I'm a mechanic and I refuse to pay outrageous prices for junk, regardless of how new the junk is.

Exactly why I bought a 2008 Mazda 3 with 90k miles for 8k. The maintenance is comparatively cheap, the engine is solid, decent mpg, and has never left me stranded for the last 3yrs. The car market makes so sense, even with the understanding of college level economic theory.

1995 Accord EX. Still loving it after almost 30 years. Had several through the years,but, kept her. She will never leave my land/property. Funny, I still trust her to take me on a trip around the country right now.

I paid $55k cash for a diesel truck 4 years ago, which I thought was outrageous. Now $55k is a low price for a truck. This can’t continue.

Me sitting on the sidelines waiting for everything to go to sh*t so i can scoop up the deals 💀

Posting the outtakes makes yall real men 🍻

what my dad paid for a brand new TRD Tundra in 2008 is less than what I paid for a 5 year old, 110k miles F150 this year.

People aren’t broke. They are simply tired of being ripped off.

New Car prices nowadays are as much as a new house price in the 80s

Still rolling with my 04 civic and my 2011 camry, both paid off.

Remember when domestic vehicles used to cost less than imports?

We are not broke we refuse to pay these scam rip off prices

I have been screwed over by every dealership, new or used, for over 50 years. I have no sympathy whatsoever for dealerships or manufacturers.

I walk to work. Dealerships were more than happy to brag about gouging customers just a few years ago, and now they’ve gotten used to it. They now think those gouge-prices are what they should always get. Nope.

I don't want a new rig. Too many computers, too much tracking, too many unwanted "safety" features that are just controlling. I'll keep fixing my rig.

63 years old, never owned a new vehicle in my life. I keep finding 20 year old cars to drive. Rest easy.

We aren't broke. I can afford a $450 a month car payment. The problem, is that won't buy a new car anymore.

It's just lunacy. The SUV and Pick Up prices are insane. Had a CDJR salesman tell me they will wait out the customers lol. "People will always need vehicles, it doesn't matter if we have a lot of vehicles on the lot" I've been looking at 2016-2020 Lexus GX460s. (Great vehichle and it will live forever) Of the 5 I've been to see, every single dealership added over $8k of fees when the final cost breakdown was handed to me, and they refused to budge. It is nuts. Thats must be the new scheme, get you on the back end.

What do they expect? NOBODY with a regular job can afford an $80k car or truck! People are struggling. Jobs do not pay enough. This is a major disconnect between the pricing and what the market will support.

One thing i've learned during my own path to growing wealth is that when I was young and had no money, I had nothing to lose. What did i care about 15% interest if I could have what i wanted. Now that i can pay cash for whatever I want, I say no way am I parting with $50k or more so i can pose with a new car. Folks, new vehicles are the biggest flush of your money that you will ever experience.

Car prices are crazy. We desperately needed an SUV for the extra room since sometimes we had to take 2 vehicles. So a couple months ago, we bit the bullet and bought one. We didn't even get a fancy model, just something reasonable. Even after a $10,000 down payment, our monthly payment is still $600. Our goal is just to try to pay it off as fast as we can so we're not stuck with that monthly payment with interest.

The crappiest part of all these prices is that even if you drive a 20-plus year old car like me, you're insurance costs go up like crazy to cover the rising costs over all.

In 2013 I bought a low-end car for $13K and paid cash for it. When I drove it off the lot, it was fully mine. Eleven years later it's still running great. I HATE AUTO DEBT!!

No stock pickup truck on the planet is worth anywhere near a $100,000. That defeats the whole purpose of buying a truck. Pickups are made to work, who would wanna scratch a hundred thousand dollars truck.

IN Puerto Rico prices are like that too

With remote work I don’t even need a car anymore. I’m not driving like that anymore. I actually thought about selling my car instead of paying a rip-off car note

The most satisfying news i ever heard. Car dealerships always act like as if comsumers are buying gold from them.

Used to work at a junkyard on the weekends 3 decades ago. Always drove junk that I could fix myself. Wouldn't pay new car prices & don't care what the neighbors think. Funny part is that now the junk I drive is cool. Random people stop me on the street or leave notes on the windshield asking if I want to sell. Drives the wife nuts.

Got into an accident in December. Totaled my car and fractured my spine. Been shopping for a car and I can’t find anything. It sucks

I had a 2006 dodge charger I got it for 1300. Spend at least 1000 a year maintaining it and over the 7 years I owned it I have dropped at least 3000 in repairs. In December it took a crap on me and would not come out of 2nd gear. I was in need to get a different car so I went to my work, I work at a used car dealership my boss said he would sell me his Nissan for 6000. It worked out until I had to finance half of it. We did an in house finance through our company and after all the paperwork the car ended up being 12000… like seriously… it’s messed up.. what they ended up doing was paying my boss in full for the car then turned around and doubled the price of the car. It’s unbelievable but I had to get a different car. I’m stuck paying $500 a month just for a car that isn’t even that great… unfortunately my charger needed everything that held the suspension together replaced and the cost would be about 6000+ so I wasn’t wanting to spend all the time rebuilding it.

My wife wants me to sell my 2005 Mazda3 with 105k miles, I say never, it runs great. I will never ever buy a new car, nor a car over $20k. I will repair for as long as necessary.

This isn’t the consumer’s fault. It’s the dealership’s and manufacturers’ fault for charging far more than these vehicles would ever be worth. You reap what you sow.

Never had a car payment in my life.. I always buy ~10-12 year old cars that no longer qualify for loans and are fully depreciated by the state for lowest possible registration costs. At this age, cars often sell for about 1/4 their original MSRP and 1/6 the cost of a similar "new" car. These cars usually have about 100K miles on them, and have another 100K miles left in them with some maintenance thrown at them.

1:01 you sir are the most Canadian man to ever exist. And I’m here for it

118,000 dollars is only 8,000 dollars less than what we paid for our first house 28 years ago and we built a brand new 2000 sq. ft. brick home! No way most Americans can afford a vehicle this expensive.

i went shopping for a car about a year ago. i drive a 1999 suburban. went to look at the toyota dealer and when they told me an civic was $43k i literally started laughing. i asked the salesman if he was serious, and he said yes, that's what nice cars cost. i told him i'll just buy another engine for my suburban if it comes down to it and left. they cant charge absurd prices if noone's buying.

Where I live cars and trucks last 10 years max because we live so close to the ocean that the salt corrosion rots your vehicle while it sits parked in the driveway. Not to mention the amount of road salt 6 months of the year.

Okay, I'm looking to buy a car but everything is freaking expensive, even used cars! I can't believe it! I would buy that 0.99% Model Y offer right now if it weren't for EMF emissions being so high.
