No Dealers. No Hassle. Serious Savings. Let the pros at CarEdge do it for you! ⮕ caredge.com/concierge

The only thing crashing is my trade-in value. Used cars on the lot still cost a ton of money and they seem to hold their value pretty good…….

I agree with Ray. The title should be: used cars are still 50% too high

I agree with Ray. This is a correction. If the prices fall below pre-pandemic levels, then I'd call it a crash.

I was at the local dealership, and nothing is crashing where I live.

I hope everyone holds onto their cars and trucks and supports their local repair shop or fixes them themselves instead of paying ridiculous prices on new or used vehicles.

Now that he's based in DC, Zach has learned to spin numbers like a politician. LOL

This is like saying the doctor's finger is 60% out from the prostate exam. That 40% remaining still sucks.

You can’t call it a crash when it’s still 40% higher than before, imagine your pay being reduced by 80% then years later getting a 40% pay raise and pretending that you are coming out on top because you got a “raise”. it’s the market readjusting it’s still 40% higher than before

No shiznet, I just checked the same used cars on Car Edge and they are the same high price they were 6 months ago.

Prices are still too high!

I love your dad's honesty. I also love your service. I need your dad's realistic assessments of the true values of this car market. Not teaser intro lines to bait me to watch... Keep it real.

Good on ray for calling out Zach’s click bait video titles lol

Trying to buy a used truck dealers say they cant come down anymore i cry BS. Still waiting

Numbers don't lie, but can be twisted like a pretzel. What I hear Ray saying is, a 30000 car three years ago now costs 45000. The price went up 50%. 60% of the increase is 9000. That's only 20% reduction of the current selling price.

I'd like to see a video on negotiating a custom order car. Days on the lot? Doesn't help because it's ordered just for me. Days of supply? Can't negotiate that with a dealer because these cars are almost entirely ordered custom. Incentives? None that apply to this vehicle. Kinda niche, but I want your feedback, gents! (Context: It's a new Mazda MX-5 [Miata]).

Still way to high in my state, I haven’t noticed a 20% drop nor negotiate

Zach, you gotta lighten up, son!

“I don’t mean to school ya live… but… ” lol!

Crazy ol Ray / I watch you guys regularly- thanks

It would be great to be able to buy motorcycles, boats ATV’s and UTV’s through car edge

I've been checking KKB and Edmonds nd it doesn't seem like their values are crashing like you are saying ... have they just not caught up yet?

I agree with Ray! It looks like it took a viagra, it’s going up, buddy. 😂 11:28

I think there is a lot of pent up demand hanging around as long as they can waiting on interest rates to come down (similar to the housing market). So if and when we get a reduction in rates, all of those buyers will come to the market and will keep pricing high.

Thank you, Ray!!! I agree, used prices for 3/4 & 1 tons in my area are still holding less than 20% less than MSRP of the time of its model year.

The oace of improvements and manufacturing capacity as well as production advancements has made EV prices drop hard. Ray is correct in making the early adopter point. I would guess vehicles that hold their value are not ones that have made major advancements. This means buying a two year old or four year old model is not that different. Most EVs are basically rolling computers and like computers, advancements make the value drop of older units.

I keep coming back for the double entendres… don’t suppress them!

You two are really funny guys, love seeing a farther and son working together, and loved the of subject comments GOD BLESS, lmao

I love you two!! I’m a Chicago, USA small biz owner and mom of 6 adult married children. In need of a ( new Car) ASAP stumbled upon your show a few months back so grateful♥️

The perfect duo! Unique perspectives both with great insight! Great info daily! Thank you from a month-long listener.

The boy doing his director routine is funny. Radio newscaster talk top.😂

always a great informative time thank you

Yes, you do have a FLOW!….love it!

17:40 as Ray gives voice in a logical and meaningful way. "Prices aren't down here!"

You guys a Hoot!

It's more likely that the price of new units will come down. Those lease turn ins will likely be bought out by the current driver.

Just a suggestion, if you are going to not have a show, stack up some long shelf life videos you can upload on those days. The live stream is great, but keeping content dropping each day for viewers/listeners helps most channels and is usually appreciated by the audience. Suggestions for prerecorded show to upload would be Ray taking people through the car buying process in the 1970's and 1980's. The failure of Fisker is on a long list of failed companies and I am sure you can find a book author or magazine editor or maybe John over at Autoline Detroit, to talk about those failed companies and how people dealt with never getting their vehicle, as in was their money just lost and those who got the few vehicles that were made how did they keep them going. It was funny to watch Kyle Conner at Out Of Spec, get a Coda EV for basically free that had sat on a dealer lot for over a decade, never sold, was still legally new I believe. I think you get the point, you can do none educational videos like you have on your website, while still doing automotive sales and buying related content. Build up five or six of those to test the theory and see if helps the channel to keep and build up the audience.

Prices are definitely crashing on certain vehicles like full size used trucks. I would definitely say that's a crash

This isn't a crash, it's a correction that hasn't finished yet.

Auto manufacturers need to go make to making affordable automobiles, and walk back trying to make electronic connectivity devices that happen to have wheels and a powerplant.

Ray in rare form today ! FUNNY !

It’s funny how they say that in the next three years lease vehicles will be less coming back on the market, but why do you need to worry about that so much when you have an excess amount of repos for those same 1 to 3 year old cars so it was just the balancer

Good for Ray for calling out Zach lol. There cannot be a crash with so many people priced out the market.

It would be more honest to say that used car prices are still 40% above what the average consumer would anticipate But then again, the auto industry is not widely known for honesty at any level

Wheres the giggle ... yours, music ..love the enthusiasm like the news done 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

my used 2021 Crosstrek ltd was expensive imho 27442 dollars and it had 14440 miles on it

I’ve been watching your show for quite some time now. Sorry Zach, I’m with pops, prices still to damn high. I sold both of my cars when things were crazy and made some decent money and bought a POS civic for cash in the hopes of getting a truck again when prices come back to earth. For 2 years now in the Chicago land market 2500’s have not moved an inch down in price and in fact have gone up slightly recently. When I see 60% down in wholesale and no movement in prices I can’t help but think these dealers just can’t let go of their greed. P. S. I’m still driving this damn civic 😢

Can you imagine a conversation between Ray and Scotty Kilmer.. 😂

Ray. 👍 Thank goodness

Z and R... dynamic modern-day Sanford and Son! Keep rockin' Car Edge, the Care Car Duo!

They went hard with the puns in this one 😂

To keep the YT gods happy, I hope you have some content in the can that you can post in the next few days.

I agree with Ray In my opinion, used cars will remain High because of the “affordability issue “ in this country, compounded by the lack of lease returns and inexpensive vehicles returning to the market for sale. With new car prices as high as they are, and interest rates, a quality used vehicle may be a better option in some cases. Dealer lots are filling with inventory, and dealers may be looking to make more deals, but most people can’t afford a new car at the still inflated prices. I think what we are seeing is a correction not a crash. Like Ray said , prices are still high, just not pandemic high. Another topic to address is , as used car prices are falling people shouldn’t EXPECT to get the inflated price for their trade. This unfortunately works both ways , new car prices are dropping AND you’re not getting Top dollar for your trade.

I PAY CASH They give me their number I give them my number. No compromise.... I WALK

Just FYI, as of today NJ is chipping in 2K on an EV. That’s of course on top the 7.5K from the Feds.This fall it’ll be 4K in Jersey BUT you’ll pay 3.35% sales tax versus NO sales tax now. Fired off a text to my boy at Tesla. He called and said re-order with today’s date and he’ll cancel my old order AND credit me back the $250 deposit. THAT’S a positive car buyer experience…no?

To me its confusing because if the price increased 100% then a 50% reduction in the current price would mean it is back at the original price. 2019 price - $10,0000 2022 price up 100% = $20,000 2024 price down 50% = $10,000

Love Yosemite ❤️ Enjoy and be Safe ❤

Love the Viagra joke Ray 🤔🤔😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We are getting there but prices still need to come down more to make national headline

The duo!!💪🏾💯💯💪🏾

I leveraged all I've learned here to purchase a 🟥$15,995🟥 2015 Lincoln MKZ 2.0 Hybrid, 1 owner, No Crash, FWD for.....,..................🟢$12,833.50.🟢 "You don't get what you dont ask for". Thanks forbthe negotiation tips.

This is the best video you have ever put out! 😂

i see that igor would like to sub-in for zach . having igor on sounds like it'd be quite a coup -- with or without zach on the stream. . anyhow , hope you do invite igor to join you often in the future

I still say Ray needs a Dodge Hornet with racing stripes and the words Cool Ray edition since no one would know the Hornet existed without Ray!

Two minutes in and we’re at the crux of the issue. Used car prices are still 40% higher than they were before this all started. Ray has it right. End of story

It really depends what you're looking for Right most 2020 Year built Car's are not down on price the last time I checked especially certain 2 liter powered Civics.

Haha nice. Needed that laugh today

Enjoy your long weekend!

Doesnt matter. Insurance companies have boosted housing insurance to unbelievable rates. Those that have financed houses have no alternative but to pay the rediculus high rates. Some house insurance rates have jumped to 10X levels on their premiums. It might start the same direction in the auto-insurance area as well pretty soon. So, everyone is afraid to buy anything.

As inventory bills, car companies and dealers will have to adjust their sales expectations

You could always try “Really! That’s inconceivable!” ??

Whoa Whoa. A truck for $30k with 100k miles is Crazy 31:12 😂😂

Gotta take into consideration the Government incentives on those trades on Es, Tesla knew of the incentives early and marked up the cars accordingly.

this is BS. 1. dealers are giving less for trade ins ( you guys included ) but sales prices have not dropped. 2. the value of cars in 2020 is still a lot less than now, even with these minor drops. Your graph was very clear. The sales price is what matters to us, not the dealer's buy price. They are not linked right now.

What I thought was interesting is that used EV prices are still high. Money is tight so why would you buy an EV that is still WAY over priced? Maybe that is why the EV market is hurting.

Ok I’m sorry but where is this happening??????

These two are so funny!!!

Bubble prices not only always revert to the mean they go below it. Looks like about 150 on your chart there. I'll be waiting😊

Looking at a 2021 Chevrolet trailblazer. Car dealer will not negotiate with me any suggestions?

used cars are done around 10-20% where I'm from in canada

We want Ray in the flow,!!

But those people who aren’t going to return leases also won’t be buying so less demand.

Correction yes, crash no. It COULD crash, but we're not there yet.

Connected vehicles make more than we know if you include the data they sell to brokers.

You are missing a golden opportunity. Put a Dodge Hornet in Zacks chair. It is a great conversationalist and it needs the exposure.

you guys were wound up today.

zach not in NY respectfully its not true at all very very limited inventory...used car prices still high

probably gonna be another year for used car prices, 2 for used evs

Ray is right, also who cares that there will not be used car inventory. NO ONE WITH AN 8 YR CAR LOAN WILL BE A NEW OR USED CAR!!!!!! CAR DEALERS WILL NOT SELL ANYTHING!!!! NEW OR USED

Do you guys think that at this time next year will be the best time for buying a new or used car or truck because the economy will be worse by then because of the cost of everything going up and all of the lay offs and job cuts? Thank you for your time and knowledge.

Finally all used cars price crashing down

Depends on what vehicles you are talking about. Nissan 240SX, Toyota MR2, GMC S15, Chevy K series trucls, or any reliable mechanical vehicle are all still headed to the moon.

We bought a 2023 brand new Toyota 4RUNNER for around $48k and last night we saw a used 2023 4RUNNER for around $45k 😮

...re: Europe and insurance? The Kids used to labor for USAA. In Germany, Americans, especially G.I.s, have to carry $1,000,000 in auto liability insurance.

Gonna need to yonk out that connected feature on the next new car. I wonder what will happen once everyone is jail breaking their modern connected subscription based cars.

re: projections that connected cars will generate incremental revenue...that argument makes sense until you consider two things: (1) every driver already has a connected device (their phone) and (2) auto manufacturers are the worst software creators on the planet. Nobody is paying them to make software. That's why Carplay and Android Auto are so popular!

I think higher end vehicles will crash big time. I think lower end cars will continue to rise because the buyer demand on those vehicles will rise due to the lack of affordability of those higher end vehicles and over production of them

What could really accelerate the return to normal prices would be a recession. I think chances are good we have one in the next 6-10 months.

Need advice please My fiancé and I have 2017 Mazda CX5 Sport with 86k miles, it’s our only car. It needs multiple fixes…tires, brakes, rotors, control arms, a/c compressor. Also, for the past 2 years, we’ve had an air intake/clogged vacuum type noise happening when going up hill. However, we have taken it to multiple techs and they can’t find anything. The catalytic converter went out at 73k miles. We can’t afford these repairs..I’m going through Cancer treatment so we’re not well off financially. But, I’m getting scared of driving it to my appointments every day. Again, our only car. Should we somehow try to get it fixed little by little or, try to trade it in? We still owe $11,000 on it

31:52 I bet Brandon really appreciates your comments….
