The fact that normal cars appreciated at ALL was ludicrious. Cars wear out. They are a depreciating asset, unless its a super special antique.

[@baronvonslambert]

It wasn't ludicrous, just the basic market forces of supply and demand my dude. Manufacturers couldn't produce enough new cars during lockdown and the chip shortage to meet demand, causing the supply of new cars to dry up, so people who ordinarily would buy those new vehicles entered the used market and ate up the supply there, which drove prices to the stratosphere. Add in that cash for clunkers basically took two entire generations of vehicles off the road a decade ago, and it's a recipe for stupid pricing.

I just wish the rest of the market would correct. When your car is worth half what you paid 2 years ago, selling it makes no sense because the rest of the market hasn't corrected with it. Both your dollars and your car are worth less than they were 2 years ago, so if you sell, you're selling at a major loss. I'm fine with depreciation but this economy is unsustainable.

Then they would sell them to smaller private car dealerships specializing in slightly rarer offerings, as while it's not legal to sell more than X number of cars privately per year else you would need a dealer's license, it's totally ok to sell as many as you like to a dealer.

This is such great news for those of us who love buying and building cars on a budget. Over the years I’ve bought and built 12 OBS Ford F Series trucks (92-97). The past few years I haven’t even been able to touch the clapped out ones because they got popular. Within two miles of my house there are two very nice crew cab powerstrokes, both started in the mid $30,000’s. Both are now priced in the mid teens and still not moving. I’m taking this as a move towards sanity, because paying anything above about $15,000 for a top of the line, clean OBS Ford is just insanity.

[@mattstewart8351]

I think the problem isn’t that people are freaking out that they can’t sell their cars for greater or equal value. They are freaking out because their car has corrected value for the past 5 years in 3 months, as it would usually. For example, pre Covid you’d expect to lose 5k on a car a year (just throwing a number) this was usual. Well right now, that same car has lost 15k in 6 months because it’s catching up from the past 3 years.

[@zmurray52]

As an employee of a dealer for over 14 years, I can confirm that Doug is correct about the current market correction on preowned cars. We are coming off the artificial highs of the Covid times, and things are normalizing back to the way things were before. It is a great time for deals to be had on collector cars right now. We will see prices rise on lower priced vehicles as the public won't be able to stomach new car prices much longer. Buy within your means and enjoy!

[@jose7777777777777777]

I see lower more mainstream brands possibly more at risk. Genesis or Acura may have a harder time than Porsche.

[@AB-80X]

@@sburns2421 They do. The problem is more in regards to the used Porsche market. Even people who can afford cars in the higher mid tier range such as Cayennes and Taycans are still somewhat reliant on a used market value. Many still buy and finance based on the idea that their purchase will retain a good value. In this regard the market still needs to catch up. Wait six months and see. There are people who bought cars six months ago who can’t believe how much they have depreciated. That does not mean they can’t no longer afford them, it won’t change much in relation to their income, but it means that they can’t afford to replace them either. This is where the dealers will get stuck. And VAG will push dealers hard to get new lot cars because of the severe financial issues of VAG. Also while Porsche is not a budget car, it is by no means the highest end of luxury or exotic either. This is relevant because Porsche is actually one of the most financed car brands in the US. They are prestigious and desired enough so that many want them, but still so affordable that you don’t need an extremely high income to finance one. People don’t finance Ferraris and Porsche for the same reasons. Porsches are financed because it is a way into a car for those who can’t pay cash, where many opt to finance high end exotics because the money invested makes more of a profit than the interest rate of the finance. So now that the interest rates go up and finance becomes more difficult as there’s less security in the car, fewer people can buy them. Add to this all the bridges Porsche burned with loyal clients over the past 24 months by demanding extreme ADM’s. Porsche has a very rough time coming.

[@turbobrew]

I have been watching 997s the past year and they haven’t really dropped, maybe $2-3k at most. I think the people who own 997s are not the type of people who are going to be affected by market headwinds. Also many people believe the 997 is the best generation so you are fighting against enthusiasts as well. At this point Im considering 981s which are 90% of a 997 at half the price and are 4-5 years newer.

I've been the car business for a very long time, and I can tell you that everything Doug said is absolutely correct.

[@Lorentz_Driver]

Nah prices still suck

[@N2YTA]

@@Lorentz_Driver You’re correct, new car prices are very high, especially leases. I think that auto manufactures are re-setting how they do business. For a long time, they produced as many vehicles as they could, then did whatever they had to, to sell them (deep discounts, rebates, lease and finance deals) but now they’re only producing as many as they know they can sell. Lots of people who had been able to lease a new car every three years, now can’t.

If only housing was the same. Car production is back where it needs to be. Housing production has been massively below what's needed ever since the recession. The deficit of housing starts in the US is huge.

@@nicholaswhitfield9341 Here is the thing though. My dad bought a home right out of college as an engineer. Now that home is $800k, you would need 3-4 or maybe more new grads to afford that. Sooner or later nobody will be able to afford the prices.

This youtuber just saying from "capitalism-speculation-self-interest" point of view. Who care that current economy collapsing due to "overproduction". Who care that consumer have no money to pay for new car $10k-$20k. Who care that you can get 2-5yo car for $500-$1000. "Reseller" just adapting to current market, and what market or economy doing, reasons of it happening - they dont care.

Man I just want something that gets me to work. Hell if my job was on the bus line I would hardly ever drive. Cars are a fun hobby but mother of god everything is so overpriced (cars are improving but everything else is still getting worse), I will give up driving entirely if I'm able to just so I can keep a roof over my head. But all the better paying jobs are outside of town and nobody wants to pay a proper living wage, no matter how many degrees or certifications you have, no matter what experience you have, no matter what industry you work in. Everyone pays like crap and constantly overcharges in this "booming economy" because corporate overlords are greedy, and this stops us from buying fun cars and having a comfortable living. It isn't just a me problem, it's everywhere.

I'm dumbfounded. Sitting here in Canada (Québec) and not understanding what "crash" You're talking about. Sure, prices aren't as high as they were a year and a half ago, but they are not pre-pandemic whatsoever. Used cars are still very expensive, despite the added interest payments you're going to be making now If you finance.

[@tboneforreal]

That's his point. It's not crashing, but it is correcting. The crash will come when an eventual recession hits, the job lost that follows, and people have to give up the cars they can no longer afford.

[@jagpilotohio]

If you’ve been paying close attention the prices of used cars has dropped dramatically in the past year. 30-40% in some cases.

[@ritchierichh]

Canada is an exception. We're currently seeing record immigration levels that are keeping demand up in every sector. I'm seeing 2004-2007 corollas with 250k km selling for 5-8k still.
