Yeah, I saw that buttwipe.

But an “Average American” out of his twenties CAN afford a new car. Just not a FANCY new car. Just like has always been true.

Average Americans can buy very good, reliable new cars at a good price. Many CHOOSE to spend more on upgraded cars, which drives the “average price” up. But so what?

Btw, It must make it really easy for ya to simply say, "This is all a lie".

And they're not talking about "FANCY" cars as you suggested, they're talking the "average" priced cars.

It's about average Americans, and averaged priced cars. This is not complex.

Bankrate.com finds that people living in 24 of the 25 largest metropolitan areas in the US cannot afford the average price of new cars, which was $33,000 in May according to Kelly Blue Book. In six of those cities, people struggle to afford cars cost half that much.

I did read it. You’re confused. They article is not talking about “FANCY” cars as you suggested, they’re talking the “average” priced cars.

It’s about average Americans, not being able to afford averaged priced new cars.

This is not complex.

You didn’t answer my question. Do you agree with what they said about Trump? They said it will get worse with Trump and they called him #FakePresident.

“Ok, so you must be suggesting or implying average Americans have no problem purchasing new cars because they’re so reasonably priced? Right?”

Wrong.

I answered your juvenile question which has zip to do with Average Americans not being able to afford average priced cars.

Once again, everything is political...everyone blames everything else for political reasons. Bottom line after 16 years of Bush and Obama, it’s no wonder average Americans can’t afford new cars.

See, I blame Bush and Obama, not Trump. Your questions are really easy btw.

If my questions are so easy why not answer the very first one? So you think Trump will make new cars affordable to the average American?

Eventually, yep, because if Trump succeeds, many more American cars will be manufactured here, creating more better paying jobs for people. We've been looted for the past 30 years, you probably missed it though, because you got yours.☺

Why keep asking this crystal ball speculative questions?What's up with that? If you know what the future holds, please share!

Why do you keep straying to main subject of the article?

How come I have no issues answering your naive questions, buy you constantly evade mine?

Are you talking about this comment of yours, which has zip to do with the article at hand?

Capitalism is freedom in business and just like personal freedom YMMV. It promises nothing except that you are free to conduct business as you see fit. Many Freepers do not like the concept and favor all sorts of government intervention.

Leeme know.

“I did read it. You’re confused. They article is not talking about “FANCY” cars as you suggested, they’re talking the “average” priced cars.”

If many Americans CHOOSE to buy top-end cars, not because they are useful but because they enjoy them, what happens to the “average priced car”?

That is a comment not a question. My question to you was in my first reply to you. It requires you to read back. You answered my question with a question. I am waiting on the answer to that.

Let me get this right.

You're saying the average Americans can't buy new averaged priced cars because so many are buying new high end cars that it's driving up the cost of average priced cars?

So are low end cheap cars now considered the average priced car?

And if so, if the averaged priced cars were driven up in cost by high end cars, were the prices of the low end cheaper cars driven up by average priced cars increasing?

No, it’s your turn to answer my questions which you’ve evaded all day. That’s how it works here.
