@@drift6785 that’s true, but at least Ford customers are used to buying junk. Toyota customers always knew they weren’t going to get the best or newest tech, but they were ok with that because we knew the vehicle was solidly built and reliable. Can’t say that anymore. Already have confirmed reports of 2025 Tundras engine failures, which is a disgrace. 30yrs ago a quality scandal like this would have shut production down until whatever was wrong had been fixed. There are countless stories of Tundra owners who have already had 2 or 3 engines replaced.

When he said and showed "98k" for a bronco at 14:22 I was so baffled cuz i always thought the broncos were around 50k at max even in today's economy.

What’s interesting is you bought a New Jeep POS vehicle

[@jeromedamian5740]

Unbelievably ridiculous prices. They just hurt themselves. By hurting people with the prices.

[@vee985]

Toyota. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Sad.😮‍💨

[@Jojo-ni2cg]

Thanks untamed good information

[@gobsmacked230]

It's just not the payment amount...it's the terms...5-8 years...for a depreciating "asset" with questionable reliability...INSANE...

I miss my 1995 Ford f250 . $ 18,500 brand new! What the hell happened?

[@OLDGUY7301]

Bought a new battery from our local Chevrolet/Toyota dealor yesterday. I couldn't find a place to park. 2 years ago, maybe 80 cars. There's hundreds now. I counted 8 Hummers and 62 trucks. WOW! My truck, 2004 Silverado paid off in 2007. Suckers!!!!!!!!!!

Very good points. It will go from bad to worse across the board

I’m trying to buy a new Honda CRV Hybrid Sport AWD; I line in so-cal, but I’m not sure how to get that lower than $35K do you?

[@MazdaB3K]

My primary fleet is a 2010, a 1997 and a 2001. All paid for, all brought back from being broken by me. I keep the maintained and I will drive them past 300k and then some because I refuse to pay more than around 30k for a new car. I'd rather pick up a high trim hooptie and bring it back around than get fleeced at the dealership.

For what it's worth awesome job! I'm a new subscriber.

Noone previously wanted a 4 cyl. Taco, unless they wanted to save money. (just like 4x4 vs. 4x2) This wasn't mainstream. How tf the whole lineup ended up that way- without any bigger option motors/ trim, & over a 50k price is beyond me. The new Tacos are garbage quality too. I will stick to my '22 Pro V-6 w/ 6 Spd. M/T.. Gtfo w/ 4 cyl. + electrified technocrap nonsense..

[@GeoffBoston-h5g]

new car dealers in my area stuck on msrp plus $2k junk items like sun protection package on top of Dealer Fees: $499 Doc Fee, $699 Ikon & $221 Maintenance, and any dealer adds.

Good video bro ❤

Keep Making Everything So Expensive...

[@omi6816]

Is really wild, a ton of electronics and other stuff becomes more "affordable" yet car makers keep pumping out cars and jacking up prices like the people has infinite budgets, like they should freaking read the room

[@michaeldittmer5065]

These are all good points. One thing I will say is that CAFE standards pushed a lot of OEMs into making overly complex garbage powertrains...the days of lazy simple NA engines mated to simple reliable transmissions is ending. OEMs got greedy and targeted the wealthiest consumers, and overshot the current market by thinking this was still 2021. Had Toyota pumped out Corollas, Camrys, and Priuses with their chip and factory capacity, we'd all be happy right now.
