I bought a new truck around Christmas and my rate is 1.9% through my bank.
There’s deals to be had. I was driving back from my deer lease in West Texas this week and saw 16k off a 4 door ram truck. I haven’t seen those kind of discounts since pre Covid.

The OT - where everyone is a baller yet you’re frowned upon for buying a nice vehicle, a nice house, a boat, etc.

This is the low T now. We can’t afford the truck nuts like we could in 2019.

a $38k Nissan Frontier suddenly became a $55k Frontier
I'm calling bs on this story. There's absolutely no way that a $38k sticker price truck could jump to $55k. You're telling me they tried sticking around $15k of backend product on it? Banks only allow typically 15-20% of invoice for back end. Let's say invoice is $36k, the most any bank would allow is about $7200.
It's really funny that people think dealers lie so much when in fact, Ive been lied to by customers more than any other interaction I've had. It's like you just want to have a cool story to tell, but at least make it believable.

drive a 2012 Acura that has been paid off for 7/8 years. My maintenance costs have been nil. I feel judged by those who drive high status vehicles, as if I’m not part of The Club

The most mid-level manager response ever.

Driving a beater can be expensive too.
2005 Toyota Camry with 160,000 miles and nothing but oil changes, tires and brakes. I hope to get another four years out of it which shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a POS but sure beats the $800 and $900 car payments my co workers have.

I have had a 40k car come back as 50k twice at Cadillac of New Orleans. It absolutely can happen when they think your a sucker!

They had none but what got my attention was all the “new” vehicles in the lot were 2023s. Ford hasn’t been selling many new F150s lately.
I think they are still distributing 2023s that just recently got chips. They had huge lots and racetracks filled with unfinished trucks as late as the end of the year.

Average new car price is $47k and our minimum insurance for vehicle/prop damage is $25k. I’d bet half the people with insurance in the state have minimum coverage. Statistically, ~12% of the population is uninsured. So, I’d bet half the people on the road are either uninsured or have barely half the cost of the average new car in coverage. And people wonder why we have an insurance crisis…

Got to keep up with the Joneses, can’t be having the same old car for more than a year and a half. That’s for poor people!

Only a dummy would buy a brand new car if you taking out a loan without putting a significant amount down

I’ve renamed the wife’s car Frankenstein.
Replacing/repairing everything…..140k miles and paid for. Pushing new car purchase until absolutely necessary.

On top of the high car prices, the interest rates are ridiculous. I have an 800 score my bank offered me a 10% rate.
Found a credit union that offered me a good rate. Try one of those
