Biggest reason cars have crazy price tags is that everyone is ok taking out a huge loan to buy a new vehicle. These 6 and 7 year loans have increased base prices of new cars because many Americans just think these loans are normal now.

No, it is because they got the huge bail out and then once they had paid back the loans they never brought the prices back down to the normal range.

But mostly because many Americans are ok with having car payments that are as much as their mortgage. Why have lower prices if people are ok just taking loans for the price you're asking? The consumer has let car prices get crazy in the last decade.

Yeah, that's definitely true. You wouldn't have been able to sell a lot of $50,000 trucks before these extended loan terms came about. But now that people are stretching them out to 72 or 84 (!) months, they think "Well $800-900 a month isn't so bad..."

Dude, you're going to buy a $50,000 truck and end up paying like $75,000

let alone the insurance....


I haven't had a car payment since 2006.

Good friend of mine leased a sweet GMC truck..time to return the truck, wanted to give him a lesser model on the new lease for what you quoted. Eight bones. Bought a 2015 Mercedes from an older gentleman with 27k.

It's obscene. Houses used to be these prices.

Indeed... we also practice 'if we can't pay today then we can't afford it', including with cars. We've still got nice cars.

Saw a commercial the other day for a Lincoln Navigator.

They emphasized the price as $72,000 or $849 a month as if it was some sort of bargain.

No it's because unions along with bad Managment created the stupid cost and the crisis.

They paid back the bail out money with interest ahead of schedule so no idea why people still bitch about it.

That's true, and 500-800 dollars on up are normal payments a month.

I hate to ask anyone what they are paying a month for those vehicles, its not my money they can look all nice and pretty driving down the road for all i care,
I suppose someone in the industry can give more input on the money side of that.

If by affording you mean having a shit ton of credit card debt for your monthly other purchases and little to no savings, than yes.

Yeah it's ****ing weird how people are ok with 6 years or more of car payments. But people treat car payments as basically just another bill like an electric or gas bill. It's crazy.
