THIS Has NEVER HAPPENED Before In The Car Market
In this video you will get to see what car dealers are actually paying for their cars and trucks at auction!
My name is Brandon and I am a used car dealer. I created Car Questions Answered to share the ins and outs of the used car market from my perspective. I share with you updates on car prices, what's happening at the dealer auctions, and what it's like being a dealer. My goal is to share information to help you make the best decisions while buying a car to save you money. I do not want car dealers taking advantage of you.

Today, the average household income is $78,000 and the average model new automobile cost is ~$46,000 dollars. If a new automobile just kept pace with inflation, it should now cost ~$26,000 dollars not ~$48,000 dollars.

Cars last longer now. I bought a new car in 1980 and it lasted 80k miles

[@MrSloika]

1980 cars didn't have anti-lock, dual zone AC, keyless entry/start, infotainment systems, fuel injection, heated seats, back-up cameras etc, etc. My father's first new car was a 1965 Ford Falcon. Manual steering, manual trans, manual choke, manual brakes (drums all around), roll-up windows, no AC. That car cost the equivalent of $18K in today's money. You couldn't give away a new car like that today. Yes, cars cost more today because you get a lot more. That's what customers demand now and will not even consider a stripped down model.

[@lostatsurf7351]

Construction trucks driven by supervisors or managers on long transmission lines projects. I put 65k in one year but some other trucks had as much as 85-90k miles per year, 75% highway miles. Can’t say the same for trucks driven by superintendents or GFs.

[@JasonEDragon]

Probably a lot more than 200 miles as that assumes it was driven 365 days a year. So, I'd say it was closer to at least 300 miles a day. And at that point the driving is much of the work, which is not necessarily a scenario EVs will need to replace. If EVs take over much of the rest of the market, then there could be many fewer gas stations - making heavy duty pickups less useful and affordable to fuel. So, more of this long-haul usage might shift back to rail. Some could shift to long haul tractor trailers. And some might remain as is. EVs can be a great product even if they never can replace all current ICE vehicle usage. I got rid of my home's wood stove even though my furnace can't heat the house in a power outage. It is a bit frustrating to have videos that imply EVs have a problem because they can't handle every scenario that ICE vehicles can.

The 2017 tax law is why many people are getting very low or no income tax refunds. The law was particularly aimed at people making less than $75,000 a year (and to a lesser extent those making less than $100,000/year) with income tax increases beginning with the 2021 filing year (for 2020 taxes) and increasing taxes through around 2028-2030. I know because I read the law after Congress passed it and I knew it was bad news for thousands if not millions of Americans. Politicians thought they could get away with it because of the delay in implementation and that people couldn’t figure out who did it. Now car dealers are finding out that people aren’t getting big refunds any more.

Even if they didn't have head gasket issues, $5600 for a 14 year old Prius at a dealer auction is madness!!

[@sjay149]

Just like there is a “tax time” window and a “repo time” window, there is an “election time “ window and that’s when interest rates will come down. When people get happy , because of lower rates they will vote for Biden (except for women they’re voting for him anyway).

Love your pollen rant

The FED does not need to lower interest rates that's what made the country get in a bad shape..

[@MrDuncl]

When people's houses were going up $100000 a year a $60000 vehicle looked like a good buy.

[@jimpyle99]

Or prices can go down. Manufacturers have control over one of these options.

[@000distructzero]

I agree but most will continue to cry for lower rates so they can finance stuff they shouldn't be buying

[@markmanea302]

I agree, however; but why is inflation still climbing?

[@jonathantaylor6926]

@@markmanea302 Because the FED is pussyfooting around. The Federal Funds rate should be another 150-200 basis points higher.

How much of the potential trade-in market is being sold directly to big buyers like carvana and carmax before buying a new car?

[@MX-CO]

I bought a mint condition 2010 prius (private party) for $5000, it also had all four new tires and brakes with receipts and was a toyota certified used car when the guy we bought it from bought it. He was the 2nd owner.

The Prius’ look as cool as they can be without the plastic wheel covers. Again, for a Prius.

[@kmcclarney]

The hub caps are by design to reduce wind drag. The alloy wheels are for lighter weight

[@kylemiller2706]

The Prius hub caps are factory. Their design is meant to cool the brakes a specific way. But just like Tesla a lot of people pop the hub caps off and put a center cap in place.

On the Kia Soul you may be able to buff that out

Ask them to do that in the Collision Center at the back of the lot 🙂

I'd put it up on FB Market and claim it had the rare 'speed slot' option.

[@darrylbaber6329]

One of the dealerships here has about 30 or 40 jeep pickups lined up. Priced about 45k+\ - it doesn’t look like they are moving. I don’t know for certain but I drive through the lot about once every two weeks or so. It’s on my way to other places that I go so if I have extra few minutes I’ll drive through

[@robbartsch5102]

The cap on the rims is a cap placed at production. It’s a cheaper way of making shinier and smoother looking finish.

[@K_Swift]

If you send an email to Congress or to God.....can you put my name down, too?!?!? Shit....this pollen is NOT FAIR!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love your content, bro! You are the true MVP!!

[@PsychoCPU]

Those form fitted hub caps were for reduced turbulence for mileage, just like the covers they put on EVs. It is odd that they were fitted over alloy wheels, but the Cyber truck for example has alloy wheels with special aerodynamic hub caps.

[@AnyManProjects]

That's how the priuses are.... lightweight alloy wheels with hubcaps. Only ones that don't are the higher end with the larger -17"- alloy wheels.

I almost bought a 2016 range rover sport supercharged yesterday for 21k but the car had a check engine light on and dealer wouldn’t fix it, walked away.

[@michaelmartino5100]

That walk saved you thousands. STAY AWAY FROM USED RANGE ROVERS

[@Aki_Lesbrinco]

You almost bought a 2016 Range Rover? Why would you even consider buying a used Rover? If you don't have the money to buy it new, you won't have the money to keep it running. Those are known for their poor reliability.

[@line_em_uupyt4993]

@@Aki_Lesbrinco I’m aware of the maintenance costs, the major repairs are usually due to neglect of the maintenance, and i make well over 6 figures a year so i assure you i can afford to keep it running. Vehicle was going to be bought as a third vehicle just for grocery stores runs and bullshit like that, so would be a garage queen 95% of the time.
