The Truck Market Finally COLLAPSED. And Buyers are DONE Overpaying!

I traveled to several dealerships to show you guys what current inventory and easily identifiable discounts look like. Not only are interest rates super high right now but MSRPs have gotten out of control. Thankfully many of the dealers are finally coming back down to Earth on their pricing below MSRP.
Thoughts?

I was once buying a vehicle from a stealership and the guy at the closing table handed me a card for "FREE" oil changes for a year I think it was. I said I live too far away and won't be driving here for a "FREE" oil change and do them myself anyway. He said well take it anyway, you never know. When I was going over the paper work there was a $400 fee with some strange verbiage. I was like, what is this $400 for? He said some stupid stuff and said everyone pays that. I was like What is it for? over and over until he finally said it was for the "FREE" oil changes. I was like take it off or I'm walking. We went back and forth and I should have just walked but I was like an hour and a half in the process and they finally took it off. What a scummy way to do business.

Good insight! I remember always hearing and expecting full size trucks would have 10-15K off their sticker. I never understand and still don’t why the manufacturers put such high MSRPs out there if they’re ultimately going to do huge discounts and rebates. 🤷‍♂️🤔

[@jeffrey3498]

@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 And a good point on your part 😃👍 I always thought of MSRP as a starting point for negotiations. I guess it’s a retail price, not the price anyone would think of paying. The manufacturer has to put some price out there, and they are, of course, in business to make money. The bottom line, with exceptions, like entry level base model cars etc., is that if a buyer pays MSRP, the dealer is making way too much profit that is totally unfair to the customer. Essentially gouging.

[@flybriur]

For sure. No way I'd pay MSRP unless it's a brand you're buying directly from the manufacturer where you have no choice (like Tesla). I'm used to paying under MSRP - my last two cars were less than sticker. I got my new car back in July 2020 before all the COVID stuff really affected supply and prices skyrocketed, and was able to get close to 30% off MSRP on my vehicle.

Hey, Thanks for some good info. I liked the format and I'm looking forward to your next video. Hopefully we'll see some trends indicating a price rollback by dealership says as well as the manufacturers. You're right. Prices have come down but only slightly. These guys used the pandemic and it's impact on supply to jack up prices. But so did the manufacturers. Yeah the dealerships marked vehicles up over MSRP and many nitwit customers are to blame for encouraging this behavior by actually paying those exorbitant markups. So now when you look around at the landscape, new vehicle MSRPs are obscene and used car prices are terribly inflated as well. The $3,000 to $8,000 discount that we are now beginning to see is nowhere near enough. I think the effect of inflation on food, energy, mortgage rates, rent, gasoline, you name it, is beginning to finally wake people up.

[@javierhowe3665]

Think about it like this. These manufacturers take a fair bit of money to make these cars so there’s a reason they are going to be expensive with or without the markups. But it also does come down to who will buy those cars for those inflated prices because the only reason they would mark them up is if they feel like someone will pay the added amount for that variant of car. Which is exactly why people not buying it did the exact opposite and I think that’s why we see the market starting to decline. We are the biggest advocates for the prices. What we are willing to spend and what we are willing to live without makes the market what it is. Agree or disagree. The proof is literally right there lol

Wait I thought Ford Maverick is actually doing good? Since when $86k Bronco is normal? I thought they were in the $50k?

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

I’ve honestly hardly seen any Mavericks on any Ford lots, and most of the ones I’ve seen have been really loaded hybrid examples that are like $40k. And these two Broncos are Bronco Raptors, which are the most extreme off-road version.

[@RayT70]

Yup, prices are crazy.

[@johnjon1823]

I have a 1979 300 sitting in my garage, have not run it in YEARS has maybe 60K on it; for WAY WAY less than the price of a new car I can resuscitate that thing and drive for 10 years no problem, SAame with my 2013 jeep with 195K on it, I ca fix that forever and get another 10 years out of it. Why pay these thieves a dime.

[@10glocks40]

The 2022 Bronco only has 4,000 miles because that's as far as it will drive without breaking down.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Haha 😆

[@michaelabell2332]

I will check in 6 months they will be giving these away.

[@joesammut3773]

when they show the factories building cars with robot machines, i would think that the price would be less. but that is not the case. that is a lot of money, when you have rent health insurance and food and car payment

[@BTC909]

You can charge more interest on a "used" vehicle. This is also a game dealers play with floorplanning costs.

[@JR_99_97]

There should NEVER be a bronco, f-150, Colorado, tundra, Silverado, Tahoe.... over 60k.

[@MrBobby6343]

Add on’s is just that ADD more money to American products that loses value monthly and yearly! This is why I have a 2005 Toyota Sequoia. 400000 miles. Engine and transmission new replacement only cost me $9000.00 runs like a new vehicle at a fraction of the cost of a used vehicle.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

That sounds like a keeper! Especially in todays economy.

[@jessjohnson2634]

I am seeing 10k off MSRP in AZ on GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation trucks, but it is still way too high in my opinion. This trim should be no more than 45k OTD and they are still about 55-57k OTD.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Absolutely agree! 6 years ago you could easily get a full size Z71 Silverado for like 36k after a few discounts.

[@lumanid73]

90K Bronco?!?!?! Never! Even if i had the money for it, Never!

[@costcontrolaccounting4613]

A nicely done Bronco is a $38,000 truck. If you pay these prices, you get to work for the owner of the Dealership, not your own family. Don't do it!

[@LilAk74]

75k still too much imo i can get a nice fully loaded pimped out older model for less

[@williamjones7821]

Make sure they don't add-on the VIN-etching on the non-existent catalytic converter on that battery-powered Ford Lightning pickup. At least one other KZbin video shows a "Monroney sticker" where that was added on ! They thought the buyer wouldn't notice !

[@mothershiplove6078]

the lightning is electric. No cat

[@AutoPainter86]

I'd hate to have to tell you this but all dealerships are marking everything up. The Ford bronco for instance with its base model MSRP starts at around $39k which is still entirely too high for that vehicle. 130K and/or 90k is absolutely laughable to say the least.

[@user-gb9vv5ey2w]

These prices are outrageous!

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Absolutely!

[@ernestgalvan9037]

Nice looking VW’s… wonder what the specs are.

[@01tonka87]

Does Broncos are 60k over pieced

[@kevincamilleri1695]

Anon… because the dealers let prospective buyers drive brand new vehicles or drive vehicles from other dealerships for a sale. As long as they don’t exceed 100 miles the government lets them sell them as new.

[@DavidMartin-hv3mn]

Yeah, the one you were just showing for 80 85000 final payment on. That's only a $43000 truck. There's no deals there yet.😅

[@richardfowler3254]

As far as I am concerned, all of those extremely overprice vehicles can just sit there and ROT. These vehicles are losing value every day, the costs to the dealers are going up with the loans they take out to put them on the lots. Their "Floor Plan" payments must be insane. These dealerships and manufacturers are wanting the public to bail them out for their unfair business practices... In January of 2020 I was able to get a new to me (used) truck to pull my trailer and it was ana awesome deal that I got. I was able to get a one-year-old truck (2500 RAM) for under 30k with 0.9% rate. Those deals will need to come back before regular people can even think about getting back into the car market.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Absolutely! That sounds like a fantastic deal by today’s standards, lol. Was it a 6.4 or Cummins?

I don't understand how can people spend $80k+ on a car. If you make a million dollars a year then fine but for the rest of us, this is insane. I am not biyying anything over $30k. A used car works just fine for me. The best car is the one that is paid off.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

100% agree! People give up way too much of their lives paying for depreciating liabilities like a car they can’t truly afford. 😞

Hello AA, just learned all 24's Tacomas are built in Mexico with cheaper labor & yet prices gone up by $1000's. Saw an loaded Tacoma at a Florida dealer for $57K. This may backfire on Toyota.

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

Thanks for sharing this! Yeah, my last one was build in South Texas, now they’re all the way to the Mexico assembly plant. Obviously not ideal, but I have heard people seem to think the build quality and fitment is solid. I guess time will tell! 🙂

[@Will_b83]

The dealer markups have given way to the manufacturer markups.

[@ConstitutionCurt]

MSRP was always suggested not the “price”. What happened to the savvy buyer?

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

That’s a great point! We really do need to keep that in mind and that it’s the “suggested retail price”, which is always the most expensive price point an item should have.

[@techvof]

You'd have to pay me to take that lightning

[@robertratliff6030]

We have a 2000 tundra and a 2007 accord. We bought these vehicles 24 and 17 years ago planning that, barring an accident, these would last us until we can't drive anymore. 20 years ago I also bought two Honda motorcycles to last until I can't ride anymore. The advice of someone in their late 60s is to plan and pay cash. So with no car payment and no house payment, we live well on our social security

[@AutomotiveAnonymous208]

It’s so crazy to think that those vehicles are that old now, those years really don’t sound that long ago. Paid off cars and your home is definitely the way to ago! And definitely before retirement age. Well done! 👍

[@rastus666]

$93k for a Bronco? I’d rather drink battery acid. I wanted a 3/4 ton pickup to drive while my old truck is being restored. I wanted a GM, but on their lot, $80-90k was the price. I found a Chevy 2500 HD from one of the good years, 06, for $10,600. With tires, stereo, and topper, the total price was under $17k. I’ve put 10k miles on it in 4 1/2 months. No leaks, no drips, no problems. Pulls my 8,000 pound camper just fine. Shop around.

[@ernestgalvan9037]

At 14:00 he’s wandering the used cars at ‘Wills Toyota’. But I found at least two, one in Twin Falls Idaho, the other Ames Iowa. Anybody know which this is? I’d like to see if a couple used cars are still there and check them out.
