Trump bringing down inflation as promised

Is that really anything? Wouldn't a decent negotiator so at least as well? And, it's on inventory not subject to tariffs since they have been manufactured before this went into place.

Wait for it, the days of dealers gouging consumers with stupid 'market adjustment' stickers adding $5k to $20k to the cost of a car is over. Dealers are going to be offering price concessions, extended warranties, and manufacturers offering price incentives, rebates and already seeing low interest loans of 0.9% in ads.

Obvious response to cars not selling.

This isn’t new. Car makers have done this before. It’s a marketing gimmick.

Son just dropped a new engine in the 2012 King Ranch ecoboost I sold to him in 2017. He had put 350k miles on it. Best truck I've/he's owned.
14K for new guts is a hell of alot better than 80k.
Yes, the prices for new are fricked.

They marked the cars up tens of thousands of dollars and are giving back a couple thousand for vehicles that likely will all need recalls due to the ridiculous cafe requirements Biden forced on everyone.
I’m not buying anything new until they show they can either produce turbo engines that don’t blow up or give me NA engines like we had pre-COVID that will last 200k miles.

It's a grasping move. Ford an GM roll this initiative out every now and then. I'm not sure you save all that much if you even half way negotiate effectively on the standard price.

Competition is amazing! Time for American companies to step the frick up!

Trump effect...sorry libs

By the way, you libs can 'stick it to the man' by buying a foreign tariffed car and help donate a few thousand dollars to our Treasury. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

What if the "decent negotiator" starts from the lower number?

I'm not discounting that the cylinder reduction + turbocharger addition hasn't led to new engines with problems. For example, Toyota's new turbo-4 and turbo-6 in the Tacoma and Tundra had major problems with low mileage engine failures. However, from what I read, it was not due to the turbocharger but instead a manufacturing flaw that led to metal shavings floating around in the engine block.
Some of the problem with turbochargers is how people drive their vehicles. Naturally aspirated engines could take someone hoping in it and driving it immediately on cold start. Sure, it is not recommended but engineering made the engine block more resilient to that over time. Turbocharger failure seems correlated with lack of lubricant in the turbine. This lack of lubricant is likely due to cold oil that is not freely flowing through the engine.
The manufacturer recommendations for oil replacement may be too long these days because of the proliferation of the turbocharger. So changing oil more frequently may help with turbo failure. However, I tend to think it is less due to oil levels and more due to engine readiness for operation.
Is it bad that regulations have made appliance type vehicles finicky like a performance vehicle? Sure but I think habit changes could mitigate the problems a bit because I don't think the future is bigger engines regardless of regulations to be quite honest.
