THE CAR MARKET BUBBLE: Thanks to @CarEdge and @LuckyLopez777
The website CarGurus found that prices are down almost 1% in the last 30 days. The biggest decline came from none other than Tesla, with prices now 33% less than they were a year ago. It's also worth noting that - year over year - crossovers are down 6.3%, hatchbacks are down 9.14%, Wagons are down 9.79% and vans are down more than 10%.
THE CAR DEALERSHIP PROBLEM:
Because Auto Dealerships buy cars on loans, rising interest rates are causing their inventory to become significantly more expensive to hold than it was in the past. As a result, many of them are making much less money than before and very motivated to sell.
THE AUTO LOAN BUBBLE:
Many banks and lenders issued loans on cars that were selling much higher than they ever should’ve been, simply because demand was high, inventory was low, and money was cheap. But today, buyers are underwater by an average of $6000 when they trade it in - meaning, they owe $6000 more on the car than the car is worth.
CAR REPOS ARE INCREASING:
Bloomberg just recently reported that “Car Owners are Falling Behind on Payments at Highest Rate on Record.” According to Fitch Ratings, “The percent of subprime auto borrowers at least 60 days past due on their loans rose to 6.11% in September, the highest in data going back to 1994.”
BANKS ARE PREPARING FOR DEFAULTS:
Banks are now a lot more cautious about who they lend money to - this means that getting an auto loan is much more difficult today than it was a year ago. Auto Loan rejections are also occurring at the highest rate in 10 years, with banks now writing off some of their loans as complete losses.
According to CNN, “analysts predict that auto loan delinquencies will continue to rise into 2024 and peak at about 10% before they start to fall.” The bad news, however, is that car prices are still 33% more expensive than they were, prior to the pandemic - it's unclear if prices will fall below that level anytime soon.

[@funtechu]

2:10 just one correction, automotive manufacturers didn't get starved out of chips by other companies. Rather, it was a problem of their own making. For a little background, when you are a large purchaser, you typically order chip a year or two out to give the chip manufacturers time to adjust production capacity. In early 2020 the automotive manufacturers figured there would be a sharp reduction in the number of cars purchased, and immediately cut their chip orders for the following year. However, at the end of the year they turned around and tried to buy all they could, even though they had not provided the typical lead times needed. This essentially meant that their demand doubled in a period where they had previously told chip manufacturers they weren't going to be buying any chips, and as a result the chip stocks for common popcorn parts quickly ran out, sparking a massive shortage until chip manufacturers could catch back up.

What would be truly revolutionary is if old school mechanical vehicles that don't rely on semiconductors that you can repair yourself were built again for people who want low maintenance and don't give a sh$& about bells and whistles can have something affordable. This shouldn't be a difficult concept.

[@beefy45]

Never going to happen due to EPA regulations. the amount of tech R&D that went into building a car that goes from 35mpg to 40mpg is in the 100s of millions and to go from 40mpg to 45mpg is going to be almost double what was previously spent. Lower prices and easier to repair vehicles can help achieved but never will thanks to government regulation.

[@hngldr]

@@marcelonskty They all used to until we destroyed it. Every major American city was built on public transportation. Also I have lived in all kinds of car dependent places and fixed my own stuff - it's STILL easier and safer for most people to learn to bike to work than to fix their cars these days. In both cases though, advanced economies are built on specialization - you can't expect everyone to know how to fix everything - that's a foolish way to fix the economy. I am in favor of right to repair though, and while I know not everyone will bike (even people for whom it'd be great), it's critical that we have options. In the same way while it'd be idiotic to expect everyone or even most people to have high skills in something they earn nothing off of (knowledge of fixing cars even when that's not their job), I think it's critical that we don't have a society where it's effectively illegal for them to do so. These things don't become like this just because "America is too big" or "cars are too complicated" - they were made unbikeable and unfixable on purpose, then history retold to make it seem like that was always the case

[@pablovargas1266]

You guys realize the MSRP isn’t going up that much , but the greed from dealers marking up all the fees sending us all over 30% maybe more on dealer fees

[@mf8759]

One of the really big factors when purchasing a vehicle that people overlook is insurance! The biggest excuse for rate hikes is “inflation” from insurance agencies. This becomes a huge problem when all you’re paying attention to is the car payment amount per month. Suddenly your insurance hikes your payment and you start to understand you can’t actually afford that vehicle.

This video was talking directly to me thank you, Graham. I live here in Vegas ( Summerlin) I bought a 2017 Porsche Macan S for 55K in 2021 my thought was I was going to rent it on Turo. Once the Turo prices dropped I decided it wasn't worth it so gone was that idea. The note is $1000 per month and when I bought my business was making $10 -$15K month so it was doable until I had a recent mild stroke which took me out of commission for months. Now I am back on my feet but my bills have all stacked up and for the first time I am behind on my car note. Fortunately, I have another car paid off so if I have to give the car back I will have something to drive. I am going to try to negotiate like you said but Capital One arent the nicest when it comes to take so fingers crossed

You still owe the balance and will be sent to collections and or atty for suit. Why do you think it’s okay to just give car back

[@mrxiong2567]

Liar

[@pingpongmaster212]

Loved the video and the info. Thanks! Also, there is another very important factor, especially for younger millennials; student loan payments just started up again two months ago. So now families are really feeling the burden of the extra loss of income per month. Especially in families where both parents have student loans. During the pause they got used to having extra money to pump into the economy through their day to day lives and many bought cars with that extra income. Now, they’re feeling the pain. We will see less people able to buy cars and other things that stimulate the economy in the very near future. We can expect more big companies to make less profits, cut more jobs, cut corners, and raise prices even more than they are already have.

[@THarSul]

and lo the cycle shall repeat, because the people in power are too corrupted by big business lobbyists to regulate the systems that perpetuate the problem.

And it keeps on going.

[@Mexidorf]

One thing I'm interested in is whether mandatory emissions goals will start playing a role in this as well later on. Toyota is going full-hybrid on their 2025 Camry sedan line-up, which is on average $2400 more expensive than their cheapest gas-engine model, all while sedan sales have continually declined vs crossovers & SUVs. Higher insurance costs, taxes, & interest rates will price out a lot of people or make it harder to finance those purchases for people who want an entry-level hybrid or affordable car.

Part of the price problem with cars is not just the chips and interest rates but the decision to start pushing electric cars and get away from building highly fuel efficient sedans.

Most KZbinrs like to gatekeep knowledge especially if they become popular and you can only wait to see if they’ll mention something off hand by accident to keep themselves as the only subject matter expert to their audiences. But you tell us what you did, how you did it, why you did it and what you even read to help us. I appreciate the knowledge and you deserve all the success you have thank you so much for spreading the knowledge and love.

You inspired me to get my real estate licence!

[@GrahamStephan]

Amazing!! Best of luck! :)

[@sauljimenez6738]

Wrong time to get I to real estate!!!

[@thehonesttruth8808]

You can’t even spell “license”…yup, you chose the right field

[@cole843]

Cars aren’t investments but you can definitely choose a car that will depreciate less than others. Typically buying a Toyota will help you retain the value of the car over a longer period of time.

[@eldondedon7884]

There are so so many gig operators that got into large car payments .....now the gig economy is trash and im sure wheel see many repos soon ....

[@techyin326]

love your videos graham, much love

[@GrahamStephan]

Glad you like them!

[@MuahMan]

No it didn't. Not until prices are down 30-50%. Trucks are still 80-100K

[@rick-zee]

One more scenario - you bought a car in 2021 and it gets totalled. The sane car now costs 30% to 40% cheaper. If you didn't have a gap insurance, you're stuck with paying that loan off after the insurance covers your total loss at the current values. Lesson learned - get a gap insurance :)

You can also get like vehicle replacement coverage even if you own the vehicle. We pay cash for ours and we get like replacement insurance

I'll always remember what a realtor told me one day who has made millions off of the housing market recently, she said, "You know how much homes are worth?" I said, "A lot," and she said, "No, they're worth what people are willing to pay for them" So who really sets the market? The business? Or the consumer?

[@Sophia-p.]

Sorry for bumping…..but Are you interested on how to really achieve financial freedom I’m just saying because I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence she helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx $850k

[@rhadiem]

Got paid bank earlier this year for my 2018 Tacoma TRD Pro, traded for an Alfa Romeo with 50% equity, half the miles, and went from like $850/mo to $340/mo car payment. 😂. Yes it has dropped some too but it's gorgeous, gets better miles and is a blast to drive.

"Anticipating certain borrows aren't going to pay their loan" if certain borrows werent allowed to get the loan in the first place we wouldn't be in this mess.

[@rjm809]

Not necessarily

[@cs1375]

@@rjm809 I am sure atleast 90% of bad loans, either the salesperson or underwriter knows it's going to happen. It's just like watching a coworker screw something up and envisioning it before it happens. I have bought quite a few cars and 100% of the time they are always trying to pad either my income or how much goes out, in order to make sure they sell the car. I have a credit score around 800. Never defaulted on anything, no delinquent payments, make good money and my bills aren't outrageous. I'm not even buying expensive cars. I have never bought a car over 20k.

[@JayJayFromAZ]

I bought a used 2018 Kia Optima with 30K and all the bells and whistles for 22K in 2021 at a rate of 4.5 apr. Now that car is worth more now but I am just going to keep it. I put at least 18K miles per year on it now it has 72K now. Great daily car.

My first vehicle was a 1975 Chevy K10 that I bought for $1500 the year was 2015. It ran but needed a carb rebuild. So I got on KZbin watched a video and learned how to work on it. Fast forward to today and I’ve now bought and sold multiple older vehicles since then and never ever spent more than 5k on a vehicle, never had a car note, and never gone without a dependable daily driver. I don’t feel sorry for anyone who falls into the trap of financing a car because the information needed to keep an old cheap car on the road is readily accessible right here on KZbin for anyone willing to look for it.

[@RoyKent536]

I recently inherited almost $500k. I REALLY need to make this money work for me, and not just disappear over time. I've been scrambling for somewhere to put the money, where I can make an effort to use the gains to pay bills so I can quit my job . All roads have pointed to the financial market of some sort which is a good idea buh where else should I put money besides the financial market? We have a 13% RPI rate so cash is tough.

[@marshallfranklin1984]

Yep great question and that’s always the one - where would you rather be if you have an option. Personally I’m always invested aside from a small emergency fund. Financial-market for me seem the only way forward with my long time horizon (accrued almost $1.4m in gains since 2020 ) but if you don’t have that fortune of time it’s a tough market out there almost nowhere feels safe! . Just know the risk you're comfortable with . Mistake is expensive

[@SamJonathan23]

very informative, one option I suppose is, if you were to invest a set amount buy the whole share in a ETF and the remainder could go into a index for which would allow you to purchase the fractional shares, is that an option?

[@RoyKent536]

well a million in profit is a nice milestone, how did you achieve that? I guess you have a proven trading strategy that you've spent a lot on please share more info !! and YES I dont want to make

[@marshallfranklin1984]

Lol, I began with an Advisor by name Camille Anne Hector. She’s sec verified and an ISDA member. Her approach is transparent allowing total ownership and control over my portfolio and fees are very reasonable in comparison with my ROI.

[@RoyKent536]

Found her website easily it was like the frist thing that came up when I searched on her name and also her mail address I will surely touch bases with her to see what's the best step for me to take rn. THANK YOU.

[@joelcorley3478]

I bought a used RV/motorhome in 2022. (It's a pretty nice RV.) The current book value of that RV has dropped over 20% in just 14 months. This is compared to a typical life expectancy of the RV of about 20 years. What's more the motor home is a Mercedes diesel, which tends to hold its value pretty well over the same roughly 20 years.

"artificially low inventory" meanwhile there's miles and miles of parking lots filled with unused, brand new cars that weren't being sold because the dealers wanted more than they should have been getting. There was never a low inventory, they were just juicing out as much money as they could.

Good, hopefully people will realize that they should just buy an old reliable vehicle. But I doubt that will ever happen on a larger scale

Didn't car prices go up and now going back down. Isn't this more of a correction for prices?

[@j10001]

Partial correction, yes. Too little too late for many people desperate just to get to work.

[@heatherj3030]

I have a paid for fiat 500, and I'm so ready to have a car that I can fit groceries in the trunk, but prices are still higher than I'd want to pay. I definitely won't go into debt for a depreciating asset. Hopefully, cars will continue to keep dropping next year.

[@Perfecto7236]

My vehicles are 2001, 2003, and 2005. Ive been shopping for a used 2016 vehicle but when prices went up i avoided the market. Now ill be looking for a 2020 vehicle

[@thearmwrestlingopinion2978]

Are we expecting a return to paying less than the MSRP for the out the door price? How long will it last?

[@GrahamStephan]

Eventually, I think so!

[@EOTG_AK]

Of course MSRP is a fabricated number in its own right.

[@Brickedupfilmz]

Don’t go to dealer that has add ons or market adjustments. There’s plenty of them. I sell new cars for a Chrysler dealership. We have factory rebates just about everywhere month and only sell at msrp. A lot of our vehicles have 10% off msrp from the factory. Which would bring you below msrp. We also have financing incentives from the factory at 2.9 and 3.9%. There’s always a monthly incentive on new cars from their factory. Just not for every model every month.

[@Rhinozzzz]

The "good old days" b4 COVID. You could get an F150 XLT for 20% off of MSRP (plus tax) with dealer discounts and factory rebates here in Texas. Now the Manufacturers have gone crazy with raising the MSRP's to the stratosphere, the dealers marking them OVER MSRP and no factory rebates/incentives are available. I will continue maintaining my vehicles well and driving them with no payments until things come WAY down.
