MotoMan is spot on… very intelligent answer. Life style creep has increased and businesses have adapted to this demand. Ultimately, corporate greed is enabled by consumer greed, which is enabled when people take out unwise debt.

Contrary to popular belief, it was not easy a generation or two ago. Mortgage interest rates in 1981 were triple what they are now, for example.

One reason for the high prices is that OEMs are spending $10 billions to introduce EVs, and will have to abandon $10 billions in assets in ICE to meet government mandates. Meanwhile, EV sales are not large, EVs are cannibalizing ICE, and the free cash flow from ICE have to finance the transition. Yes, your ICE costs 20% more to subsidize EVs.

Dave Ramsey is an old man living 50 years ago. Yes, obviously it would be better to pay cash for a car or a house. However, when you look at what most 20-30 year olds are facing in cost, there's literally no way a person could ever buy a home. Payments aren't evil. Yeah, don't do a 10 year loan. But payments aren't bad in moderation. Totally disagree with that mentality to pay cash for every single thing. Secondly, the reason why prices have gone up is multifold like you guys mentioned. Reason 1 is that many car companies know they can get away with charging more for a cross over or SUV than a sedan, so they do. Even though like a Subaru Legacy and Outback are on the same platform. Why is there less sedans, well we can think the EPA's loop holes in the CAFE standards. Reason 2- COVID-19 messed up the supply. At some point, it will sort it's self out. It is funny to me though that companies like Ford were trying to say that the days of having huge stock were over, and every car would be built to order. Nope - customers don't like that. People like the idea that they're getting a deal, and paying MSRP isn't a deal. But it's gotten hard to make a deal when it's hard to negotiate. 3- Yes, many of the companies have gotten greedy. Some of the prices on trucks specifically is sickening. That's why we'll see used trucks keep their value so much because there will always be a need for a 10-20K pick up truck. But the fact they'll take a 30K base truck, and add 40-50K worth of options and crap is WILD to me.

Vehicle prices haven’t really changed. More like most people don’t understand how inflation works, especially it’s compounding effect. I have a 1971 mustang my father bought new for 3,319 USD back in 71. He always stressed to me that back then that was 2 years wages for most people. If I look at a modern one same trim and everything, well what do you know 2 years wages for most people. On the trucks with a full sized quadcab at least they’ve gotten cheaper over the last 80 years. Originally only the government could afford them for the likes of the forestry service. They were about 8 years wages in the depression, now they’re about 2-3 years wages depending on options. Time is money….measure in time.

True making payments isn't a bad financial decision, while inflation continues to accelerate. I'd rather have a useful vehicle than worthless paper. Over time inflation will eat up all that interest that the lean holder is earning faster then most vehicles will depreciate. It just takes time eventually you actually end up ahead.

People buy new cars not because they need a new one but because they want a new one. People today lost the wants and needs. What is it, do you really need a new car or do you really want a new car? Do I need a new vehicle as of right now no because my vehicle is still working. When would I get a new vehicle when the engine is broken or something that costs too much to fix so just replacing the vehicle would make sense. Until those things happen to my vehicle right now I don't need one.

I am really shocked at the prices of vehicles nowadays. The 2016 Jeep JKU hardtop on 35s in my driveway is lovely, has all the comforts, and the title is in my lockbox. Any mechanic can work on it, and parts are everywhere. I bought a 2025 Hyundai Tuscon with all the tech getting 35 mpg average because of the warranty, and I wanted to try all the driver assist tech. It's actually impressive. The power train remains very basic, and the 8 speed is very smooth. It was a reasonable price considering what you get for the money. My wife loves it but steals my Jeep. Lol. I would like to play in the big leagues, but I got priced out. I will not pay the big bucks for hybrid, battery operated, multiple turbo , overly complex, EPA MANIPULATED vehicles. If we built for dependability and ease of maintenance all these years, can you imagine where we'd be? Ahhhhhhh...

Thanks for the video TFL, but a better title would have been "Cars Few of You Buy and a Very Brief, Undetailed Discussion As to Why the Ones You Want Are So Expensive." Motoman tried to answer the question, but there was too much real-time sensoring with the excuse of not wanting to be political. The question can't be answered without discussing the policies that got us here. Even if you don't agree with all Motoman was trying to say, you have to admit that scratching the surface in a few minutes at the end is not useful.

Why are cars “expensive?” 1. Inflation 2. People’s pocketbooks haven’t been adjusted to keep up with the rising prices. Are they expensive? Yes. But for the money when adjusting prices for inflation, it can be argued that you get more for your money. What hasn’t changed as much as much as everything else is people’s paycheck.

One factor driving prices so high are the media channels like this one. It drives people to feel they need "new". Everybody has a review channel complaining how this car doesn't have heated seats or some other luxury. Statements like "Come on Hyundai, get with the program, it's 2024!" So, consumers feel that is the minimum criteria for a good car. And god help a maker who doesn't change a model much. "They just threw some lipstick on it!"

Too much buying has to be compensated later with too little buying. The only question is why. Is it because of economic insecurity due to the drop in corporate profitability or is the drop in economic security due to existential issues such as the election and wars ( ie effect on materials and input prices) hanging over everyone creating insecurity? Only those who stay at Holiday Inn Express would know the answer.

Long time viewer and listener of the tfl and this podcast, but I gotta say; this missed that mark and felt pretty out of touch of what I assume the average listener and viewer of tfl is. It felt like two well of rich dudes talking about wealthy cars and complaining about first world problems. I will agree with what others have echoed and say this is the reason why I do not listen to moto-man. I usually enjoy your content but this was hard to listen to and pretty cringy at times. You guys can do better then this.

The EPA is unrealistic and ignorant to the reality of manufacturer’s ability to make affordable emission products for the masses. This increases costs for consumers who have to pay for poor long term reliability and extremely high repair costs and high depreciation rates. Mass transit needs to become more available and appealing and we just need to decrease the volume of cars on the road. To speculate about the industry based on what the exotic markets are bearing is not realistic because the rich didn’t watch their life savings get eaten up by Covid. It was just a wake up call to the masses that they can survive without expensive new cars.

@@scotturich a backup camera adds twenty bucks to the car and a few ounces of weight. Crash regulations are responsible for most of the weight gain. Nearly every car gained at least a hundred pounds and a few hundred bucks to pass the small offset test. Some gained more.

This was one of the worst videos you’ve done. You never addressed all the reasons why cars are overpriced. And you never commented on the absurd labor agreements that played a part in the bailouts in the early 2000s. Not to the new obscene labor agreement that will drive the reality of another bailout.
