>>27770491Just dealt with this exact same scenario.Yes you’re 100% correct and he’s going back to university in a month so I’ve ran out of time and adjusted my parameters and expectations.Ended up with a cx5 that’s one year older and 20k miles more than I had expected for the price…. Also don’t forget tax, tag, title, lubricant and tip. Basically they wore me down and I paid 17k out the door instead of the 15500 in was planning. But it is a 1-owner southern car, no rust or wear and top trim level for the year so I’m sorta copingGood luck bro, it ain’t easy
Dealer here, a lot of teachers are paying over book value at auction and just requiring down payments to bring shit back in line with what a car can be loaned for. Some banks have started accepting auction slips as the base value for LTVCertain divisions of Chase will allow average retail as value, which is hilarious
>>27770572Dealerships not teachers, swipe to type fucked up
>>27770572Man I had been doing some shopping on Copart acct of my cousins and prices are ridiculous on there now. 10-12 yrs ago you could find decent deals but now it’s a mess, even the used rental cars are going for way too much imo
Shitboxes are 5k, nice shitboxes are 10k, and new shitboxes are 20k. What a time to be alive.
This is a chatgpt thread.
>>27770588I'm pretty confident that there is a huge increase in car hoarding. Boomers especially.
>>27770491>trendsprice go up>anecdotesprice go up>15k>dinged up crapyour dipshit kid should be given the cheapest thing that doesn't have rust that wont kill him, and if dipshit kid wants something better dipshit kid can pay for it
>>27771170he is paying for it out of his savings, but we can't justify spending what they are asking
>>27771180Wish my kid had $17k saved up but he is indirectly paying for it through maintaining a scholarship at GT. I’m very much okay with the trade.
>>27770953anybody who could make a payment at 1.9 or 0 are now trapped because they're too proud to get a less expensive car and can't afford payments on even a baser model of the same brand
>>27771221what do you mean by this?
>>27770588>new shitboxes are 20kCamries and such are 40K now
>>27770491You should be looking at older cheaper cars.
>>27771180He could buy a $2k shitbox and still have a savings
>>27772588>>27772594Yeah that's what I'm thinking of doing.
>>27773613the more you spend right now the more you will lose when prices fall as they are almost guaranteed to do as boomers start to age out of their low mileage cars
>>27771217Based and Hornet pilled. Thanks for reminding me to register for my fall classes.
>>27770588You can still buy $1500 and under running/driving shitboxes most days of the week. You just have to know what vehicles are at the bottom of their market and might need to tolerate a few more gremlins than you used to.>>27770953Car hoarding is based. Boomers had at least one thing right.
>>27770588you vil own nozzing und you vil be happy
100 million immigrants are all competing with you for cheap used vehicles.
>>27774841The government gives them expensive cars. Shitboxes are easy PZ
