t’s nuts and I don’t know how so many people are paying for these. It makes no sense to me.
Yeah I do not understand how people are doing it paying these car notes and paying a house note on top of it. The wife and I make a decent living both cars are paid off and at the end of the month I am still thinking to myself sometimes just how much tighter our budget would be if we both had car notes still involved.

The $90K vehicle is never “affordable.” If you put a very good chunk of money down and were lucky to be at the tail end of the 0% or 1.9% finance rate days, that is the best you could have done in terms of purchasing one (other than straight out cash).

I paid $36k cash for my 2018 F150 two years ago. The dealers tried about 10 times to get me to agree to financing. Every car you see on the road is a speeding pile of depreciation and debt.

Getting one paid off would require me to throw away $70k.

If you have to finance a vehicle for more than 48 months. You can't afford it.
It's that damned simple.

Just got a new minivan. Really nice ride, comfy interior, more bells and whistles than anything I’ve ever owned before and it was 41k.
Save more of your money and get a van.

I assumed it was for his wife. If it’s for him I would change my recommendation.

People are paying these high prices because they can take out 10 year loans... and because the money is available.
The better question is why someone wants a pickup truck when the vast majority never need them for anything but driving around. Few people need them for work, fewer people need them and can actually afford them.

This is more or less what we go by.

That’s certainly the case with GM trucks. Likely the same for Ford, Toyota et al.

While GM’s future may be EVs, its present is large, gas-guzzling pickup trucks and SUVs. The Detroit automaker sold more than 1.1 million mid-size pickups and full-size trucks, including SUVs, in 2022. Those sales represented nearly 50% of their total annual sales. Such vehicles are highly profitable and crucial to GM’s bottom line as it invests in capital-intensive electric and autonomous vehicles.

Guessing most aren’t maxing out their 401k and they still qualify for Roth IRA contributions too.
Then again maybe these $70,000 trucks aren’t as common as I think.

I bought a fully equipped 2016 xlt. Sticker was $53k, bought for $37.5.
Still seemed a bit high now that I think of it.

I have a 2013 XLT with 225k miles. New ball joints last week and she's still going strong. At these new prices ill see 300k before getting a new one.
6 months ago the dealer offered me a demo 2022 lariat fx4 10,000 miles for $69,900 and $5k for my trade. Also has a '23 lariat priced at $73k. He wouldn't budge because he knew he would sell it. They are insane.

I bought a 2015 Lariat 502A with minor hail damage on the roof in 2016 for $42,000. Zero percent financing for 72 months. Made the last payment not too long ago. Never felt like a great decision until car prices started going insane. Has 55K miles and still worth over $30K. I'll drive it another 10 years at this rate.
