Just hold the line and don’t buy a vehicle unless you absolutely have to. It is very simple. They have to sell to survive. Make friends with a mechanic and fix your car before you buy new.
Consumers are telling car companies their prices are too high by just driving their current used cars until prices come back to reality for the average car buyer.
Carmakers should increase rebates and manufacturer incentives so that real world car prices come down and Americans can actually afford them. Unfortunately, these carmakers care too much about maximizing profits to do that. They would rather keep production lean and limit the supply of new cars
When my local Ford dealership closes its doors I call dibs on the large Ford sign. It will look great in my garage hope the market adjustments and dealer overcharges were spent wisely!
Ford, like the others, is pretty clueless. The revised 2024 Mustang, released last year is selling quite poorly so far this calendar year (on pace for only 30k units compared with 48k last year), but still no incentives even though the 2025s are about to come out (with a significant MSRP increase as well).
The base on my 2021 Ram 1500 DT was $38k with lonestar package, towing package, 5.7 hemi etorque and Uconnect 4 8.4 came out $48k. Tax title and other crap $52k. Same truck base is $48k and Total out the door of over $60k-$65k. Only changes to the 22' was the Uconnect 5 and the weird radar braking which is optional. The pricing doesn't make any sense except to bring in 1000% profit for a low quality build lately.
Are you referencing gas prices during the pandemic? That was due to the pandemic and people being laid off, furloughed, sick, and or dying. It was not normal.

Hold off people. Let them sit on the dealership lots. Car market is paying the price for what they did in the past 3 years. I’m going to get another 10 years out of Ford F150 with 117k miles. 😂😂🤣🤣
The used car market will drop even more in 2025. Why, lease returns. All the 36 month leased vehicles from 2022 will be coming back. As used car prices drop further it will put more pressure on the new car market. In 2025 we will see more discounts and really cheap leases on new vehicles. The manufacturers will be desperate. Trust me it's coming.
Cars are 35 to 45% over priced, the quality isn't there either. Engine problems, transmission problems and more recalls than you can imagine. Yes they're discounts but only 10 to 25% they are not worth it.
All those financed markups are coming home to roost. Instead of trading in after 2-3 years, people are going to drive those badly-under water vehicles.
@@jacobjohnson6766 I agree personally it is better to hold a car longer. But the dealers grabbed money while they could, and as a result, they're not getting those return customers as frequently.
I own 8 vehicles… if you want to stay broke finance your vehicle at an 8-30% bank interest rate. I don’t finance anything. I drove a beater for years until I became successful earning currency. Just my 2 cents.
I just lost a project that would have employed me for 9 months. I think these car companies don't even know what to do right now. Ev, gas, alternative... Ford has no idea what they are going to do.
@jeffrymcallister2789 It's nuts. I live in a city in Mexico where all this work is going. When you hear Ramos Arizpe, I am a 15 minute drive away. There is an average of 3 new plants per month opening here. There are Asian plants opening up all over the place. BYD is almost done opening a dealership 5 minutes from my house. Property per square foot is more expensive that property plus full construction in most city within the usa. Cars are not selling. Gm wants entry level vehicles to be 70 to 80k. Mary needs to be fired today. It feels like chaos.
Too many add ons from the factory for me. I want a standard tranny, power windows, rear wheel drive and no A/C. I also don't need the assinine back-up camera that the gov forced on us. I guess I'll just continue driving my old reliables...🙂
They need to do a small run of affordable basic cars. Not everything needs to try and pretend to be a luxury vehicle. It’s ok to create a fwd cloth interior car with a 4 cylinder to help the lower class during this market. Not sure why the big three want to only create suvs and trucks during a time no one can afford them
Yes, they're inadvertently shooting themselves in the foot with expensive cars, not realizing insurance costs going to go up like California's 50% increase. Some people can't afford that.
Bought my f150 tremor after your awesome reviews a couple years ago. Think i got an okay price on it. On the other hand, payment is killin me after MY WORK slowed down. And, my work had NEVER previously slowed, even in last recession
They lost me when the prices jumped 40% in one year in 2008. Now they have jumped another 40% 2022 to 2023 for no reason. Nope I’ll never buy new again. I’ll walk, ride a bike drive my old vehicles or rebuild a Jeep.
If these prices are gonna stay up I’m not paying market interest rates. You want me to spend $75k on a new vehicle you Best Buy the interest rate. Otherwise I’m simply not interested.
It appears there is about a $15,000 EV tax, on gas cars. Do you think they will have to eat the EV gamble, or keep adding it to the cars we want, until competition replaces the big 3?
I have a 2020 platinum F150 it’s by far the least quality vehicle I’ve ever had in my life. The stereo will not stay on the last station or function you had in the car every time you turn it on the volume is blaring and it’s on FM station. on and on and on about the crappy engine and transmission. I mean these cars are shit. I’m currently shopping for a mid 90s F250 or F350 with a 7.3 bulletproof diesel. Nothing built today with all its technology and sensors and eavesdropping government. Bullshit is of any quality at all and more over nobody has the money to pay these insane prices.
New Cars are over Priced by 30 to 45% not 10 to 20%
Maybe for you it’s overpriced
@@kevs2good133not all of us people are rich like you 😡

Compared to vehicles 20 years ago, yes.

Discounts are great and all but 8% interest on cars push it to be that much worse.

How much for the truck nuts?
Remember when gas was $1.50 a gallon? Then prices go to $4. Then it’s a huge “discount” when they get to $3. Same thing with car prices.

Cars and Houses are 30% overpriced.
Houses much more than 30%.
Because consumers didn’t know when to say when when they overextended themselves , so now we’re all suffering 😂
50% overpriced in California

What if majority of those lease returns become a purchase considering that the current car market is crazy?

You want to stay broke, but a new car.
Buying a car is the difference between being middle class and poor.
You think anyone thinks you’re cool when you say that ? 😂 you’d be cooler if you were smart enough to make driving a cool new car work tho 🤑

Automakers and dealers will be crying for people to buy around November, December and beyond. Bigger discounts will be on the menu.
