i just bought 8 cars for $30K, Canadian. a 2002 RAV4 for $2K, a 2006 Accord 6MT V6 for $4K an FX35 for $3K (needed $2000 in repairs) a Hyundai Veracruz (amazing SUV) for $5K, a lexus RX350 for $6K , a lexus GS350 AWD for $4K oh, a Saturn VUE 2009 XR for $3500, and just for fun a 1993 camry for $2K . The lexus RX350 and RAV4 I should be able to sell for $14K as a flip. The Saturn needs new transmission solenoids but should be able to sell that for $4K after repairs. I'm having way more fun driving a bunch of old cars, compared to having one fancy car and paying $20K in sales taxes alone.

I tried talking some wealthy bimbo out of buying one of these when they first came out, it wasn’t her money so she didn’t care and got a summit for almost $200k Canadian. A couple months after I left that dealership (about a year after she bought it) she apparently came back and sold it back to the dealership without getting another vehicle for a nearly $80k loss and then came back a couple days later with her dad and husband (the ones who’s money it actually was) and they where furious 😂 Tried getting refunds for a bunch of stuff, wanted to buy it back at the price they sold it back to the dealership, threatened lawsuits, etc. I get not trusting the salesman, but when they’re turning you away from one of the most expensive models with one of the highest commissions for a new vehicle, you might want to at least ask why 🤣 I didn’t sell it to her just to be clear, she was with her husband and they left to look around other dealerships before she come back on the weekend with her dad and they bought it from our top salesman after he talked them into it and she convinced her dad. Woman was probably mid-late 30’s.
I think dealers have been advised they’re all going to be out of business in 5 years or less. They’re just bagging the silverware as the Titanic sinks.
We were in Atlantic CIty NJ last weekend and decided to stop by the Jeep, dodge, Ram dealer to see if the “so called major price reduction was true”, it def wasn’t here. They were packed with vehicles, every single vehicle they had, yes all of them had a 10,000 adjustment. They still have 2023 and they all had 10,000 adjustment. A 2023 Jeep Compass for almost 50,000, insanity! They had two Wagoneers they were charging up because it had sit so long, they wouldn’t start.

Went to a Dodge dealership near me to look at Challengers before they disappear. Saw a nice red 5.7 w/ the T/A package. It had been sitting for months, nothing but test drives on it. Salesman had it listed for just over $45K in his computer. I asked him about the $45K. Right infront of me, he closed his screen, laughed, told me I didn't see that and proceeded to tell me it was a $65K car at minimum. I walked out. Let them rot. I can't wait until we can buy cars direct from the manufacturer.
LOL that truck at the beginning reminded me when i lived in oklahoma city and a dude i worked with lived with his grandma in a trailer park and drove a 90k truck to try and pick up women lmfao. dude literally got calls from collections on the daily
@@richardthayer5907 Apparently you've never seen any of the Fast and Furious movies. Any current movies with the new plastic computers on wheels are lame anyway. All the cool cars were made in the '60s and the prices of survivors and restored ones reflect that. The current low rent Chargers and Challenger's have become a meme.
My sister and brother in law stopped buying American cars in the mid 1990’s. They have bought only Hondas and Toyotas ever since and they haven’t been disappointed.
At the point that they cost the same as a Porsche or Mercedes what would you buy? Definitely isn’t going to be a fiat made dodge with tech from 10 years ago, there’s a reason why Mercedes fired Chrysler when they owned them.
I can do without the cameras and sensors. I’ll take cloth seats too but of course they don’t offer that as a package. They’ve added 20-30k more At least. These companies are showing they don’t listen to us. Stop buying them
@diegovn If more people wanted cloth seats, they'd be in the cars. The reason why these vehicles are so expensive is because 75-80% of the traffic were buying the highest trim truck. Most people don't even know that a Denali is a Yukon or Sierra. You trying to tell me wiping leather seats isn't easier than scrubbing cloth? Bro, what planet you living on?
I remember in college. I bought a 4 year old wrangler for $8999. I had a part time job at Safeway on weekends. $2000 down and payments were $165 for 48 months.
Im so lucky I got my Wrangler in 2019. Fully loaded with a $46K sticker for $38K cuz it was sitting on a lot for a bit. Love it and its treated me well over the years.
It’s because of the UAW contract signed off this past November. the massive raises for the people on the line now reflect the prices on the stickers of the windows. They shot themselves on the foot and they don’t care.
There are monsters who're willing to spend 100,000 dollars on a pavement princess truck not willing to invest a single cent into their child's education, not even tuition for community college.
When the Nissan Z came out I went to check one out. 33k MSRP seemed like a pretty decent buy. I walked out when I saw that the tag price was 77k. As far as I know the silver base Z is still on the lot.
Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram have had a absolutely terrible reputation for reliability. Buying one of those vehicles with "Lot Rot" isn't in your best interests and then you actually have to wonder if they'll be around long enough to honor the warranty. Why would anyone put themselves in that situation? its just not worth it if you value your time and money.
Most stuff built after the late 90's sure. My 96 and 04 are both going strong with no issues. One of which was a "throwaway" car. 300k and still going.
I paid $45k for my 2018-1/2 Rubicon JL, the first model year of the JL. I love that jeep, but I bet to buy another one comparably equipped would be way over $60k.
I paid $144k for my new build house in 1997. No way in hell I'm spending nearly that for something that gets me from point A to point B (unless it is an exotic, and my income does not support owning one of those).
Here in Germany, American made cars were always a pretty rare sight, but you could and still can get many types at a dealer (Wrangler, GC, RAM, Camaro, Challenger, 300c, Bronco, Mustang and others). Prices were moderate and sometimes really fair for what you get. I owned a Chrysler 300c (2007 model) and Chrysler Crossfire (2003 model). Anyway, Detroit Iron has not the best reputation in a country where Audi, VW, Mercedes and Porsche are produced. Still, I like Amarican cars. Around 2019, prices suddenly exploded for the US made stuff. A new Wrangler f. e. has a 70.000 € price tag while it was around 39.000 € in 2019.
If the people would quit buying them they will learn , the same thing with concert tickets if the people won’t buy them at the ridiculously high prices they might learn
I have been shopping for a car recently and there is a reason why all the Toyota, honda, mazda, Hyundai lots are busy with people. Jeep dodge and ram think they are a luxury brand without the luxury cars.
I’m up here in God’s country, Canada. Recently I went to the Dodge dealership to look at a two door jeep Rubicon. As soon as I asked if they had any on the lot they wanted me to sit down and put my name in the computer. I said, no, I just want to look at one. They found a black one in the back and brought it up. I was absolutely shocked at the MSRP. Almost $90k and that’s just a two seater. Imagine after taxes and the add ons. I still can’t believe it, I told my buddy who was with me that in two years you’d be lucky to get $40 grand for it. ps the stereo sounded like crap.
Markups for vehicles these days are absolutely insane, and they wonder why they don’t sell like they used to. I can find jeeps in my area, brand new latest model, in the low to mid $40k and they’re still dropping in price because no one wants them. Picked up a 2024 Gladiator Mojave from a local dealership before they closed up shop. 0 miles, for about $38k
not how it works. let me guess you heard that on another clickbait channel and are now just repeating it everywhere. you have no actual idea about the actual math and numbers though. cant fix stupid and youtube is nothing but stupid at this point.
I've always owned Ram trucks from a Ram 2500 diesel and the Ram 1500 hemi sport, but for the first time a year and a half purchased a Ram 1500 Express hemi 20" wheels tow package and used because I'm not paying over $1000 a month for a work truck.
I bought my 2001 Jeep in 2005 with 50kmiles for 6000 dollars. I’ve pulled off more than 3k worth of parts I’ve bought and I’m still in my Jeep less than 25k for the entire time I’ve owned it. Put 100k miles on it wheel all the time have three tops and lots of extra parts. The accessories on that Jeep cost more than my last 20 years of wheeling and driving hard.
I have a 2006 1500 mega cab 4x4, factory lifted. When the engine blew, it was time to make a decision. As soon as I found out what they were asking for a similar package of truck today, the decision made itself. I put a new engine in my truck. I painted my truck. I upgraded all of the electronics in my truck. I put remote start in my truck. I redid the interior in my truck. I made my 2006 truck brand new again, and spent about $20,000 doing it. And I get the V8 hemi in my deal. They can blow these truck prices out of their asses. Like you said, you don't even get the V8 anymore for all that money. They are insane. The only thing that's not brand new in my 18-year-old truck, now, is the transmission. I'm sure I'll have to have that rebuilt sooner or later. I will glad they drop another four grand on that rebuild when the time comes. What I will never do, ever in this life, it's been six figures on a damned truck. There are ways around it.
High prices for low quality, what a concept.

Dealers: "Lets put $20K add ons for this vehicle that doesn't do anything but add flair".
General Motors/ Ford/ chrysler sales: "why aren't our products selling ?? "
Went to a Dodge dealership near me to look at Challengers before they disappear. Saw a nice red 5.7 w/ the T/A package. It had been sitting for months, nothing but test drives on it. Salesman had it listed for just over $45K in his computer. I asked him about the $45K. Right infront of me, he closed his screen, laughed, told me I didn't see that and proceeded to tell me it was a $65K car at minimum. I walked out. Let them rot. I can't wait until we can buy cars direct from the manufacturer.
115,000 dollars?? That would be a nice down payment on a house. Ridiculous!!
$115000 for a vehicle that won't last 115000 miles
Man, the 49k I paid for my 2023 4runner TRD ORP seems like a steal now. Crazy.
Nah 4runners are not the 4runner of yesteryear, bud...they are cheaply made and have a lot of mechanical issues
CLEARLY the dealerships doing this ONLY care about profit, they do NOT CARE about the clients. I will NEVER, EVER, EVER buy from them. Period
I wouldn’t take a modern day Dodge or Jeep for free!
Then you are slow or a liar
LOL that truck at the beginning reminded me when i lived in oklahoma city and a dude i worked with lived with his grandma in a trailer park and drove a 90k truck to try and pick up women lmfao. dude literally got calls from collections on the daily
Bought a new base model 4cyl Wrangler in 1995 for about $15k…they’ve lost what they should be about.
switched from Mopar to Honda years ago - SO MUCH better quality
NO movie has ever been made about a Honda...they are just commuter cars.
I went from Mopar to VW,- so much worse with ACTUAL versus PERCEIVED quality/durability/reliability. VW pushed me to Honda which led me to Toyota
@@richardthayer5907 Apparently you've never seen any of the Fast and Furious movies. Any current movies with the new plastic computers on wheels are lame anyway. All the cool cars were made in the '60s and the prices of survivors and restored ones reflect that. The current low rent Chargers and Challenger's have become a meme.
My sister and brother in law stopped buying American cars in the mid 1990’s. They have bought only Hondas and Toyotas ever since and they haven’t been disappointed.
That's horseshit.
Why would you ever buy a US vehicle if much better cars are available from pretty much any other country.
It’s not a US vehicle.
And You Wonder Why The Lots Are Full ? People Aren't Buying!
At the point that they cost the same as a Porsche or Mercedes what would you buy? Definitely isn’t going to be a fiat made dodge with tech from 10 years ago, there’s a reason why Mercedes fired Chrysler when they owned them.
I can do without the cameras and sensors. I’ll take cloth seats too but of course they don’t offer that as a package. They’ve added 20-30k more At least. These companies are showing they don’t listen to us. Stop buying them
Cloth seats...I bet your car smells like straight trash 😂😂
Cloth seats are the best. Leather sucks
@@diegovn I bet. They keep all the nasty fart and pet smells trapped in it 🙄
@alleng012985 they are easy to clean with a extractor and require less maintenance
@diegovn If more people wanted cloth seats, they'd be in the cars. The reason why these vehicles are so expensive is because 75-80% of the traffic were buying the highest trim truck. Most people don't even know that a Denali is a Yukon or Sierra. You trying to tell me wiping leather seats isn't easier than scrubbing cloth? Bro, what planet you living on?
It would be nice if american car companies stopped handing market share to asia.
I remember in college. I bought a 4 year old wrangler for $8999. I had a part time job at Safeway on weekends. $2000 down and payments were $165 for 48 months.
Im so lucky I got my Wrangler in 2019. Fully loaded with a $46K sticker for $38K cuz it was sitting on a lot for a bit. Love it and its treated me well over the years.
I was like those Dodge Hornets arent too bad for 27k... then he read the price tag..
You think you’ll never own a house?
Look at the prices on new cars
Look at the prices of used cars... Only 10% less than new and 10% financing. It's insane.
Dodge Hornet has the same price as a Mercedes 300 E Class. WTF , No where near the same gadgets or performance. Lol
They mark them high, give you a “discount” to make you feel like you got a deal 😂
It’s because of the UAW contract signed off this past November. the massive raises for the people on the line now reflect the prices on the stickers of the windows. They shot themselves on the foot and they don’t care.
Exactly. But it doesn't even register with most people.. they just attribute it to rich man's greed.
@@TheBenjamminthere is still obviously a markup going on
Hornet worth $34k MAX
The other day on the news they were saying the average car payment is $700
We gonna go back to public transportation because cars are no longer affordable.
There are monsters who're willing to spend 100,000 dollars on a pavement princess truck not willing to invest a single cent into their child's education, not even tuition for community college.
Charger and Challenger buyers are literally keeping Dodge alive at this point
And people say toyota's are expensive!
Don’t forget. The challenger/ hellcat is the number one most repossessed car in America
For over 100k I'll be at the Porsche dealership across the street (well, I would have been over there anyway).
When the Nissan Z came out I went to check one out. 33k MSRP seemed like a pretty decent buy.
I walked out when I saw that the tag price was 77k. As far as I know the silver base Z is still on the lot.
Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram have had a absolutely terrible reputation for reliability. Buying one of those vehicles with "Lot Rot" isn't in your best interests and then you actually have to wonder if they'll be around long enough to honor the warranty. Why would anyone put themselves in that situation? its just not worth it if you value your time and money.
Most stuff built after the late 90's sure. My 96 and 04 are both going strong with no issues. One of which was a "throwaway" car. 300k and still going.
Tiny truck beds for a “work truck”
I miss the golden days of the $20k SRT4
So true. We didn't know at the time that those were going to be the glory days.
Problem: Sales are down.
Solution: Raise prices!
I paid $45k for my 2018-1/2 Rubicon JL, the first model year of the JL. I love that jeep, but I bet to buy another one comparably equipped would be way over $60k.
I paid $144k for my new build house in 1997. No way in hell I'm spending nearly that for something that gets me from point A to point B (unless it is an exotic, and my income does not support owning one of those).
My local dealer has been offering some good deals recently. $10k below sticker on some Jeeps.
Here in Germany, American made cars were always a pretty rare sight, but you could and still can get many types at a dealer (Wrangler, GC, RAM, Camaro, Challenger, 300c, Bronco, Mustang and others). Prices were moderate and sometimes really fair for what you get. I owned a Chrysler 300c (2007 model) and Chrysler Crossfire (2003 model). Anyway, Detroit Iron has not the best reputation in a country where Audi, VW, Mercedes and Porsche are produced. Still, I like Amarican cars.
Around 2019, prices suddenly exploded for the US made stuff. A new Wrangler f. e. has a 70.000 € price tag while it was around 39.000 € in 2019.
If the people would quit buying them they will learn , the same thing with concert tickets if the people won’t buy them at the ridiculously high prices they might learn
I have been shopping for a car recently and there is a reason why all the Toyota, honda, mazda, Hyundai lots are busy with people. Jeep dodge and ram think they are a luxury brand without the luxury cars.
The actual luxury brands are cheaper than these Dodges. You can get a fully loaded Mercedes AMG for what those Jeeps cost.
They have a loyal customer base, loyal enough to survive this issue. They don’t care about dealers they are making money even if 80% doesn’t sell.
32,000 on a Hornet and not even heated seats...no give on price...no way
I’m up here in God’s country, Canada. Recently I went to the Dodge dealership to look at a two door jeep Rubicon. As soon as I asked if they had any on the lot they wanted me to sit down and put my name in the computer. I said, no, I just want to look at one. They found a black one in the back and brought it up. I was absolutely shocked at the MSRP. Almost $90k and that’s just a two seater. Imagine after taxes and the add ons. I still can’t believe it, I told my buddy who was with me that in two years you’d be lucky to get $40 grand for it. ps the stereo sounded like crap.
V6 full size trucks is a joke within itself
Markups for vehicles these days are absolutely insane, and they wonder why they don’t sell like they used to. I can find jeeps in my area, brand new latest model, in the low to mid $40k and they’re still dropping in price because no one wants them. Picked up a 2024 Gladiator Mojave from a local dealership before they closed up shop. 0 miles, for about $38k
Dealers will tire of paying interest on their floor plans.
And taxes/insurance
These idiots will just jack up the price again and think they’ll make up the difference. Can’t fix stupid!!!
@@landkruiser1095 what taxes and insurance... holy shit the ignorance is staggering
not how it works. let me guess you heard that on another clickbait channel and are now just repeating it everywhere. you have no actual idea about the actual math and numbers though. cant fix stupid and youtube is nothing but stupid at this point.
It is absolutely insane to pay luxury car prices for a Jeep. I guess there are some people out there with more money than sense.
Can you say shit box.
This is beautiful. Thank the UAW
Did they really say they expect me to pay 23 grand just for a set of rims? 😅
That's almost as much as I paid for an entire Ram 1500 from 2016! 😮
2010 is the last ur to buy any jeep dodge ram
If auto makers were to sell a bare bones vehicle for a reasonable price people would line up in droves.
That white wagoneer looks like my dads 2007 avalanche lol
A Dodge 2500 2020 crew cab I was looking at had 53k miles, 1 major accident. Wanted 65k for it. Walked away when I heard the price. It’s insane.
🤨 RubiCON!!!! Metal box on 4 wheels be $125000!!!!? WHO thought up that?!
A fully loaded porche 718 S is roughly 120k. A fully loaded jeep is 120k. Make it make sense
If i had the money to throw away why would i throw it away in a wagoneer or a hornet?
I've always owned Ram trucks from a Ram 2500 diesel and the Ram 1500 hemi sport, but for the first time a year and a half purchased a Ram 1500 Express hemi 20" wheels tow package and used because I'm not paying over $1000 a month for a work truck.
I remember back in 2012 80-100k was like GTR and Porsche territory. Now it’s your everyday SUV
I bought my 2001 Jeep in 2005 with 50kmiles for 6000 dollars. I’ve pulled off more than 3k worth of parts I’ve bought and I’m still in my Jeep less than 25k for the entire time I’ve owned it. Put 100k miles on it wheel all the time have three tops and lots of extra parts. The accessories on that Jeep cost more than my last 20 years of wheeling and driving hard.
I have a 2006 1500 mega cab 4x4, factory lifted. When the engine blew, it was time to make a decision. As soon as I found out what they were asking for a similar package of truck today, the decision made itself.
I put a new engine in my truck. I painted my truck. I upgraded all of the electronics in my truck. I put remote start in my truck. I redid the interior in my truck.
I made my 2006 truck brand new again, and spent about $20,000 doing it.
And I get the V8 hemi in my deal.
They can blow these truck prices out of their asses. Like you said, you don't even get the V8 anymore for all that money. They are insane.
The only thing that's not brand new in my 18-year-old truck, now, is the transmission. I'm sure I'll have to have that rebuilt sooner or later. I will glad they drop another four grand on that rebuild when the time comes.
What I will never do, ever in this life, it's been six figures on a damned truck. There are ways around it.
I didn't become wealthy by being a fool. Buying one of these overpriced trucks would make you a fool. Be wise with your money.
Only an idiot would take that truck off road as expensive as it is. That cost more than my house did in 2001. I know there’s inflation but still.
I work at a jeep dealer and I’ve yet to see anyone leave with anything less than a 500$ payment a month
