Laughing at the fact that in 2020 a ford dealer tried to make me pay $37k on an XL ranger that was supposed to be $29k MSRP because the “chip shortage” was going to be an 8 year issue! I then tried to buy a 2022 ranger at a different dealer 2 years later towards the beginning of 2023 and I was told that the mark ups would be a forever thing because of the “chip shortage” and market demand, and they mentioned that people from out of state had driven all the way to their ford dealership to buy a raptor and tried to make me reason with that purchase to hopefully give in but I didn’t because why would I pay $5k markup on a basic truck without upgrades. Now in 2024 what dealerships began doing is adding “nitrogen” to the tires for $300-500, adding every Goofy accessory available like spare tire for under the truck, an overpriced bed tonneau cover, overpriced fender flares, over priced decal stickers that look cringeworthy.

do people every sabotage cars to make sure other people do not bid on them. Like unplug connectors, "create" fluid leaks, disconnect batteries to make all the codes come on?

Yes ,And it happens at every single auto auction 'I've been too. last week some jerk cut the wire off the Turbo to the sensor. I tested before with my Diagnostic tool before the jerk sabotaged the vehicle. Then another person came by the next day before auction and cut some vacuum tube off. Not only do you get banned but you can go to Jail, its a 4th degree felony. I never seen anybody do the Flood Line stuff you talk about. I see Cut wires, Sensors, etc, anything that will throw a code that don't disable the vehicle completely, because if the vehicle can't start and get in the selling lane it wont be sold that day. If by chance some unknown person disabled the vehicle or removed the key ( stole it- and does happen sometimes. ) the auctioneer will have to put their own cash for the repair so they can sell it for the consigner. when repaired the auctioneer will add a (Key Fee ) or Repair Fee to the final sold bid price. I can't believe people still try this stuff, there just not that intelligent, and I've seen it all. The best thing you can do is get to the action preview the minute the doors are open. Test everything your going to bid on. Rule # 1 Don't bid on anything you cannot test first.

But it's getting to the point where in Texas I'm being discriminated against for not owning a vehicle. 😂. I was accused of trespassing by a Karen at a storage unit because I didn't owe a vehicle. I was placing my bicycle in the storage unit. The property manager had to tell Karen to leave me alone. I was interested in a city employee. She asked me if I knew how to drive since most people on the bus don't know how. WTF!! I even sent her a copy of my driver license 🪪. So socially this vehicle inflation is screwing me socially.

[@crlaw75]

Wow...that "juggernat" vehicle the person spent on it was definately a lot more than a car payment.

VWs are not bad cars....But if I were a dealer I would not buy them to sell. They cost too much to fix with mostly dealer parts. and dont give you your money back.

[@gjunior2471]

I would own an 80s Kombi.

[@BruceWayne-vs4mz]

Bro, what is REALLY happening is manufactures have required more inventory purchases from their dealerships. They attached temporary incentives and free flooring for a couple months. Dealerships are currently overstocked. Those rebates, incentives, and most importantly free flooring has ran out. Dealerships are not pricing their inventory at a loss. They can’t. Flooring banks are now withdrawing from overstocked dealerships and will not accept any new inventory for them. Those dealerships whose credit is no longer fluid are either closing or finding another dealership to purchase their inventory and closing. The interest on overpriced vehicles on the lots are crushing the industry. We will not see car prices plummet until the bank owned inventories are auctioned off. We are two years away from seeing that or longer. We will see thousands of 2-3 year old “new old stock cars” sitting on lots with no factory warranty’s for sale at pre-covid prices. Bet on it. Dealerships are closing at rapid rates.

[@waynemccormick4773]

they're charging $70-80K for trucks people can't afford that now, wages have stagnated, we're teetering on the edge of recession. The prices they're asking now are a fantasy.

Curious. Why didn’t you go for the solara? It was cheap and a Toyota.

[@kkarllwt]

A nice ride but almost useless. Small pool of buyers.

My Solar has over 300k and runs like a new car. It is also well kept and religiously serviced. I would have been a buyer on that one just for parts.

They just caught it in the backside because of their own greed. None of these vehicles are worth a fraction of what they were/are charging. Someone has to pay for that big,fat UAW contract. No depreciating asset should ever exceed a mortgage payment.

In the buying process now.. not only are prices high lenders are pulling in the purse strings. The sales manager told me they have been turning brown many more applications they would normally would be excepted or the bank is asking for much more money down.

So what happened with that 60 Chevy? I watched the whole video and didn't catch that one unless I missed it somehow.

I would turn down the EPA mandated turbos on toyotas and others. We need regime change to save the car and truck market.

Exactly. It's only going to get worse. In 10 years it will be huge pickup trucks with quad turbo 1.0 liter engines just to meet EPA standards. Gas sedans won't even exist anymore.

[@seekingserenity1902]

If i buy a certified used car at a major dealership do i still need to take it to a mechanic to see if it is ok? I thought that is why you pay a little more so the dealership goes over it.

[@stevenj421]

certified mean nothing. Take anything you plan to buy to a outside mechanic , most major dealers will give you two hours to test drive , and some time to take it to your own mechanic. also look at the mandatory state warranty . its usually 30 days. some dealers give none at all .

[@tuckersmith6311]

The dealer me now has a secondary lot called ‘attires Aunction outlet. They claim they unload cars cheap instead of sending them to the auction.

[@ivanvarykino8202]

Right after the line about Toyotas and Hondas going 400k miles, a Jeep appears blowing white smoke. I'm shocked it made it to 150k.

Maybe I’m more insulated from real life than I thought. I haven’t had a casual conversation with anyone in several years where the person said they live paycheck to paycheck. I know they exist but I just can’t tell at this point when I’m out and about around beautiful Norman Rockwell style homes here in south Jersey. Everyone seems to be doing OK.

[@pumpergood]

Enjoy it! I've been living paycheck to paycheck since my divorce in 2021. No end in sight. Any of those Jersey Snookis single?😂

[@Skyking6976]

@@pumpergood South Jersey is 180° different than the Snookis of north Jersey. Didn’t know till I bought an estate here why Jersey’s motto is, “the garden state”. It’s because of farmland with rich soil. Heck south Jersey even voted in 1980 to succeed from the state but it was purely symbolic. THAT’S how different it is between north and south.

[@JohnWalsh2019]

Prices are down 8.7% year over year. We are about $6k on avg higher than 2019 levels. However, make no mistake, prices are falling and continue to fall. It could take another year to reach 2019 used car price levels. It could happen sooner depending on how quickly our economy continues to degrade. I wanted to add repos have gone up by 23% compared to the same time period last year, according to Automotive News.

[@stevenj421]

The problem is there is allot of junk at these auto auctions now. The prices you are tracking are for more or less low quality cars. there is few that might be ok, but most of the lane auction sales are low quality. The last 2 years are nothing but low quality high mileage cars that need paint jobs or other major work. The pre sales at Manheim are where your better cars end up . lease returns , rental returns etc, new dealership trade-ins . The price is preset at sales like that, they are not auctioned off. Manheim never put that sales info out that i know of , only the lane sales. Your missing a big gap in pricing but your on the right track.

[@maxwellclark7054]

Lets say that 2014 crv loaded costed 30k back in 2014. Now its got 100k on it and the dealer will be asking 18k-25k for it. Lets be generous and say they run to 200k with little to no issues. Well in my mind that car is halfway through its trouble free serviceable life. So if it was $30k new it should be down to at least $15k now which would make it make sense for someone who needs a good car to buy. Well now depending on your credit and payments you'll be spending between $4-12k more on it than their asking price. So that car halfway to to 200k miles for half its msrp isn't good enough for me. Id need it to be below 10k before id even consider it. But the dealer wont budge on price. Which other people who've commented have already said so ill say it as well, how does spending 30k on a car with 100k-200k miles make any sense?? These prices need to come down plain and simple.

Why isn't it required to have an expectation by a certified independent mechanic with specific items tested and approved or commented on their condition, same as an inspection when purchasing a property.

[@tood6459]

I'd buy that Pathfinder in a heartbeat, those SUV's are rock-solid.

[@billydanzz]

Seems like a hard business to be in at that price point seeing as how most old high-milage vehicles will likely have check engine lights on, which would have to be addressed before a customer could expect the car to pass a DMV emissions test.

If the US high speed infrastructure and public transportation would evolve, these prices would dip because fewer vehicles would be needed. Also, consumers are to blames as well. Why does every adult in the family need their own vehicle?

back in early 90's i worked for a small car lot. they dealt with cash cars. 70's and 80's stuff he'd but them for buck or a buck and half and sell for 400-500. i made more money during those days. cash only it was good times
