Just 10% of new car listings are currently priced below the $30,000 mark, after years of price increases have made vehicles unaffordable to millions.

    I can barely afford the 2015 Subaru Crosstrek i bought back in July. Even 8 year old base model cars cost over $16,000 these days

      But the topic here is new car prices.

      And presumably, all the people paying these stupid prices, getting 60+ month loans, only focusing on payments, etc.

      This has an impact on the user market as well.

      Hard to find a decent manual in my area for sub-10, too. Lucked out on a 20-year old f150 with very little wrong with it for 4 grand, then another 4 grand to fix it up.

      Would’ve spend 7 grand on a Ranger with a machinegun rod knock.
