Will the people at CNN please remind us again, who shut down several states, and disrupted supply chains across the country and on a larger scale, internationally?
I recently bought a 2020 low mileage Kia Sportage for its original sticker price. Because the Kia dealers were jacking up the price on new Kias by 5K to 8K.
The $3000 beaters I was buying for my grandkids are 5000 and up right now. Not sure if that’s gonna fall back or not.
We have three used vehicles and rotate between them. The youngest is a 2014, the oldest 2006. You do what you have to do.
That Bloomberg writer says this is a good thing about recession. Your clunker is worth more, even if you don’t have a job or enough money to buy a new car.
All started with Obama’s “Hoopties for Hybrids” and his communist cohort Van Jones.
Prices are coming down where I am and inventory is going up. Dealers are still trying to clear out cars they bought at pandemic prices but they’re not moving. Between lower sales and higher interest rates they’ll eventually have to drop prices or no cash flow.
I’ve been watching YouTube videos by Lucky Lopez on the interconnectedness of dealerships, banks, auctions, etc… very enlightening.
I’ve had my 2013 FR-S parked in my garage for two years now, only driving it to church every couple of weeks to keep the engine and seals from aging. Maybe it’s time to sell.
Just purchased a car from CarMax on Monday. Have to hunt but can get good deals of cars coming off of lease.
Once purchased, ran over to a brand dealer and had them inspect closely. You have 30 days to return, so no rush like it was a few years ago when you only had 7 days.
While in there today to get some replacement parts scheduled to be installed, I noted they were pretty busy with both buying and selling.
Watch out for the flood cars hitting the market.
I’ll keep my 1997 Corolla thank you. Still runs great!
Become? Have been since Cash for Clunkers.
My newest vehicle is 19 years old.
It runs fine and if it breaks
I can fix it good as new.
I have 4 used cars.
Three are 4WD and one front.
Most have Tow packages, and one gets 50 MPG.
Together they all cost less than a third the price of a new 4WD and the insurance is about the same, one third.
You can thank Democrats for ALL your car problems.
You voted for them you get to eat the suck.
I’ll cruise along just fine without you.
Relief is on the way in a few weeks in the user car market.
There will be a “flood” of used cars from Florida hitting the markets around the country real cheap.
Are here you can pick up a good used pick up truck for very reasonable prices. I assume some folks are afraid gas prices going up will make driving them prohibitive.
Life circumstance required me to get a wheelchair van about a year ago to transport my wife around. Even then late model used vans were pretty steep in price. Luckily I found a private sale for a 2001 Chrysler for under $5k. Normally I’d never would have considered a vehicle with 300k miles on it but in hind sight it’s been a blessing. I’ve had to put a bit of money and work into this it but so far it runs ok and gives us a bit of freedom to get around.
Earlier this year I sold my 2016 Silverado to Carmax for $3822 less than I paid for it almost six years ago. It had almost 62,000 miles on it. I bought it brand new with no trade-in. Timing is everything.
I have a 2005 subaru legacy with less then 60,000 miles....going, going....
I hate to say it but I bought three brand new cars in the last two years. The first two I sold to Carvana after having them for a year each because they paid me more for them used then I paid for them new...I made 5k profit on both and purchased a brand new KIA Telluride as my latest purchase.
