The Car Market crash of 2025 starts now… here’s proof. The writing is in the wall and something has got to give… and soon! What do you think? Do you think we’re heading toward a legitimate car market crash in 2025? Let me know your thoughts.

See the video!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZSLsSGRlGk

“Bring back vehicles you can work on yourself and can afford to drive off the lot.”

Yep, and it is easy too. Just stop completely re-engineering them EVERY year from tire size up. This also requires complete retooling of the factories every year to make them. It is stupid for both themselves and the consumer.

This is the main cause of the highly inflated prices.

[ConservativeMind]

Direct injection is great; however, you need to buy clean, properly supplemented, fuel.

[Mariner]

It’s certain.

Few can afford $80k for a new truck. Or $50k for a new car.

Eliminate government mandates and you can drop 25% of both.

More savings would come from eliminating all the voodoo the manufacturers put in vehicles now days.

A BASIC Ford half ton should be $50k. Or people will stop buying them.

I would buy a truck with a V8, automatic, AM/FM radio, AC power brakes and steering. And nothing more.

But NOBODY makes that truck anymore.

“Toyota has totally dropped the ball on Tacomas and Tundras. Bad engines and bad transmissions”

Which is directly related to moving manufacturing of both to Mexico IMO.

AND jacked up the price, and both now have smaller displacements.

If toyota is trying to commit suicide in their truck line they’re doing a hell of a job.

[Mariner]

“I saw this video the other day, he really has some shocking things to say about Toyota.”

I have a 2020 Tacoma and it’s perfect.

$40k new, V6 with tow package.

[V_TWIN]

Toyota’s quality issues are what happens when you entrust Paco and Chico to build your vehicles for $2.70 an hour.

[VTenigma]

I agree, thus why I’m building a “new” ‘97 F350 dually.

[V_TWIN]

It’s models later than yours. 2022 and on.

a quarter century ago I devised a simple technique for buying cars that’s STILL talked about in the BMW community. It works for all brands I’ve tried it on. (Which is a A LOT).

“WHY are so many people buying/driving SUVs?”

It’s the station wagon of the 21st century. 20th as well actually.

Also, too many people have their tiny egos VAXXED against a 'minivan', which would be far more practical for them. Must have with kids.

Too many people have their self-image wrapped up in their vehicles.

AND by WOMEN who don’t even have family

More room for their cat(s).

[V_TWIN]

Wow thanks! 👍

[FrankRizzo890]

Yeah, they put all that in there, and then if you want that option they just turn it on in the software, and/or install the button to turn it on.

Styling sucks. They look like slant eyed, blocky angry robots now. With giant grills that cover the entire front of the machine.
I don’t want if to sit there looking pissed off every time i walk out the door.
Designers have a mental disorder.

[equaviator]

If OEM’s came up with BOGO deals hardly anyone would go for it.

[drypowder]

Inflation my eye, most of it is pure corporate greed. In 1965 the price of a new family vehicle was approximately 25 to 30% of a family’s annual income. Today that percentage ranges generally from 80 to 120% of a family’s annual income. Yes, income stagnation and wage depression are also to blame but those also fall under the corporate greed banner.

[DesertRhino]

I think you’re on the right track friend. Find an old one and basically make it a new. Still far cheaper and better than a new one.

[AndyJackson]

I have an old one that needs to be replaced some day. It’s great, reliable, and works well off road which I need. Great car. So why would they ruin it? Why? Why a turbo whatever - more stuff to break and wear out. It’s not a performance car anyway.

I bought my latest double cab 4wd Ford in 2017 after a hailstorm destroyed its predecessor. Used it moving equipment in the hayfields for five or six seasons, now mostly haul fertilizer or seed with it, along with tools and equipment in the bed. Oh, and hauling the occasional (deceased) deer or feral hog out of the woods, going to the processor.

Hardly ever use the rear seats for passengers, but it often keeps equipment, luggage, and firearms out of the rain and secure.

If you told anybody who knows me that it’s a status symbol, they would get a seriously good laugh.

Oh, it gets better gas mileage around town than my wife’s Ford Flex, about equal on the highway. Might do as well on the highway if Texas had not raised the speed limit to 75.
