Christ on his cross... At these prices my 275k+ mile Honda Civic Si should be worth $10,000. The F450 would be worth more than I paid for it.

These are beyond WTF prices. These are just laughably stupid. Lot more people must be doing drugs than I thought.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again: who the fawk can afford to pay these ever increasing prices:barf:

I make well above median income and can't justify The price. So how that fawk are so many of these things selling for an AVG of $60-70k. I see folks who must have more $$ in their driveway than they have equity in their houses

I could buy one.... But was a waste of capital as I have perfectly functional 20 yo cars. Id like to upgrade, but back in 2015 had given myself a 40k budget for 2024/25 for a lightly used truck:homer::lmao:

I've said that for years... I pass by a trailer park on the way home every day and look at the $$$$$$$$ sitting in front of these POS trailers. Its mind-boggling.

With my new position at work, we now have a combined households income of nearly $1/4mil... and I am still being a cheapskate searching for a "deal" on a 3-4 year old truck. I'm in negotiations right now for an F150 that has a listed price of $36k, and I'm wary of that price. I bought my wife her dream car a couple months back for $40k and thought that was a bit high for a car, but it was the right deal at the right time.

I couldn't fathom paying over $75k for a new truck, even though I pay $1500/month on my wife's car (so I can pay it off in under 2 years). Doing it willingly to save interest is one thing, having a minimum payment of $1500+ is ludicrous.

Right? Even for those with household incomes of 250K its hard to see the new car prices as being affordable. Id argue that until you're at a household income of 500k+ the current clown world prices are unaffordable. I think cars are even worse than houses (which went nuts). Until you're at crazy high incomes its hard to keep your household vehicle expenditure under 10% HHI.

The inflation of the last 4 years has somehow turned 250K into not enough income to live life with limited financial worries :flipoff:

i went over 20 years without buying a new truck. i spent way more for my 22 than i ever thought i would in the past. but i also sold my 19 for 11.5k more than i bought it for. this crazy money printing has fucked up everything.

"poor-think" is a different approach to life. It is justifying the fact that I cant afford a nice house+nice car+vacations+etc, but I can have the absolutely nicest I-phone on the market or outfit my mediocre car with huge fancy wheels and tires. Gives a taste of high end, even if just the smallest taste. Similar to why in some small poor towns, the church preacher has a cadillac and everyone thinks that makes sense.

People with wealth typically worked for it and stuck to careful life planning over decades to get there. That instills frugal spending habits that are hard to overcome. The funny part is as much as "poor-think" baffles you, your agonizing over a dime here or there baffles them too cause "you be rich" and stuff.

When they see me rolling in the BENZ they don't know I live in a shack.
 
i had to break myself from the "poor-think" habit. i went so many years scraping away to make it happen. that it was hard too spend money without a name on it. i still can't go out and enjoy a 100 dollar dinner. not when i can feed my whole family like kings for 50.

I think you need to rethink your lifestyle if you can't get by comfortably on 250k.

Anybody offering less than about 7% is making it up elsewhere.

LOL. not in this case, atleast not directly. the dealership can do that so they can get their factory holdback money for the sale. what they are hoping for now is they get a few repos, sell them bastards again and make up for anything they are "losing" on 3.5%.

its basically like owner financing on trailer homes or a buy here, pay here, no credit, no problem lots. they are counting on the repo, so they can sell that bitch again and again.

You can get by sure, but its not going to be the gravy train from here on at that.

Every driver in the house has their own car. For a family thats a min of 2 cars.
2022 avg yearly cost of car ownership for a car @ $10.7k
www.bankrate.com

The Average Cost of Owning a Car | Bankrate

It could cost you thousands per year to own your car, even after it’s paid off.

Means HHI would have to be 220K to keep it a 10%

Yeah, on this site half of us drive old shitboxes and do our own maintenance drastically reducing costs.

Back in the 80's my buddy sold cars at the tote the not. The down payment was actually what the dealer paid for the car. Any payments were gravy.

I helped him repo cars. It was easy since the dealership had a spare key.
