Yup. That’s the way to go. I’m still driving my 2008 Kia… only has 115,000 on it. I hope she can go another 5 years or so.

2. People can no longer trade in lots of negative equity into new finances, which is supposedly CRUSHING car sales (and says a lot)
I was amazed at how many people wanted to trade every two years while having 5 year loans twenty five years ago. All of them upside down of course and no one wanted to put money down.
Now with 7 year loans?

Truth.
And, so many morons not only didn't see it, they championed the leftist causes to their own detriment.

What about boat financing? Don’t people even go way more years with those loans?

My rule is 8 y/o used car with 120k or less mileage. Preferably Toyota of some sort. I'm not trying to keep up with Jones.

this is clearly not possible since the OT idiots keep saying you can still buy new vehicles for $30k all day long, they cant link to any, but they give links to bait and switch ads for vehicles that arent real

Some consumers have never learned the difference between needs and wants

You can buy new Ford Mavericks in the 20s. But yeah, full size trucks are getting expensive. Lots of people could get by with the Maverick.

I’d suggest buying an older vehicle with readily available parts with your 10k. When I say older, I went 89 ford ranger. Parts are easy to get and generally cheap. frick these new car prices.

When Democrats force car makers to build electric cars no one wants, those makers are going to raise the prices of the cars people do want in order to offset the losses.

RAV4 for $18,000 and keep on kicking it.
A 10 yr old RAV4 should be $7500
I mean i paid under 18 for a fullsize quad cab 4x4 that's only missing radar cruise control and a moonroof. 5 years old. 130k on it. Bought last year.
Same exact truck new is 68 before you start negotiating.

Eight, now. How long before 10-year loans just to buy a fricking car?
Yet people will still be dumb enough to do that and those sorts will help to keep prices from dropping as they would otherwise.

Of course not
But a significant portion of the population being upside down on vehicles is certainly not a good thing to have present in the economy
Home affordability where it stands is also not a good metric
There are at least a handful of things that together could be a ticking time bomb for this economy

Should be a good time for me to sell my Toyota with a 6 speed stick that I have back in the states.

A decent uptick in unemployment and this will get ugly very quickly.
