I’m seeing shitholes sell for $400k down here in Yuma. The Phoenix market is crazier. But if you really want to WTF…look at the salt lake valley.

Buddy just signed on a $900,000 5b/4ba on a lot where he can hold hands w his neighbor while they shit.

That’s sort of an economically depressed area and I haven’t seen a listing in the last five years where they will only show one pic and not show the interior of the home.

I’d say this is fairly average for that area


This one has gone pending but its an example of what you can find if you dont have to live in a trendy place...Dr;; yjr 500K place and move there , do a bit of repairs, upgrades, and bank 400K.

Also found out one of our 2021 Silverados with 2k miles windowed the block with a rod. When our guy took it to a dealer to figure out what's wrong, he pointed to 6 other trucks sitting on their lot that did the exact same thing at various miles under 10k.

Really really getting tired of having to fix shitty Chevys.
I was thinking about a new truck towards the end of last year. Im my area every dealer has "market adjustment" over msrp pricing. Was trying to wait for a better market until #2 cylinder in my Silverado took a dump at 69k miles. Reman engine was on back order. Took 6 weeks to get a motor. This is all that is left of cylinder #2 . Im done with chevrolet.

Is this their new gas savings feature that disables every other cylinder?

but did you pay sticker price, they have a way to get their asking price and still collect interest on a loan, it is all the figuring...

It was about 5 grand below sticker, with an additional trade-in on my Honda Accord.
But this was a few years back. I would never ever think of buying a new truck with today’s retardedness going on.

go try that tactic on today's market, they will laugh but will still take you into talk to the finance manager where he will do all his abracadabra bullshit and tell you this is what we can do, just sign here.

^Good pic of the young Elon Musk.

I have no interest in any new cars. They are appliances and/or penis extensions, like everything today.

That is harsh, I just bought a 4 door, 4wd dually truck complete with chrome everything and a lift kit and loud exhausts...

LOL, you're right. I was surprised then, that they didn't laugh me out of the dealership. :LOL:
 
Why would anyone pay over sticker for a mass produced vehicle that when the bubble burts, will depreciate like a rock? I used to be of the mindset that I had to have a new car every 2-3 years, like most Americans. Until I realized what a monumental waste of money that is. I wouldn't mind getting a more fuel efficient vehicle, but I'm not paying even MSRP for one. I'll just keep my truck and Jeep until the wheels fall off.

I usually have close to 120k miles on my car after three years. Every 5 years.... new car.
 
Have prices begun to settle or is it the same? Looking to get new vehicle but not interested in competing with other buyers. Prefer to wait until dealerships cut prices again.

You might consider ordering one.

Curious, just looked at new jeep prices (apples and apples - have a '21 Rubicon) - '23s base price up 5%, the same options are 47% higher.
 
We were trying to get a second Rav4, this time a hybrid only and the price was 32k, the dealer added 8k in dealer addons, and wanted us to finance it over 8 years which ballooned the price to $50k at a $1,200 a month. This was a dealer I trusted since we just got a Highlander XLE from them in 2021 at $500 a month, now we don't know who to trust.

I was done with GM/Chevy in the 90's after having owned a 92 Chevy Blazer with a plastic fuel injection module that GM had a recall on and strung me around until the warranty was over and said sorry...not sorry. Will never own one again. Had a Ford have an issue and Ford picked up the tab. My Hondas and Mazdas have been trouble free and I drive 40k a year and buy new cars every 5 years.

Your numbers make zero sense. $1200/mo for 84 months is $115,200 total, that's payday loan APR numbers.

This Rav4 is high on my list as well. I assumed they were extremely popular, especially in my area, and assumed there were HUGE dealer mark ups on them and the competition for buyers was strong. Now we're talking about a GX460. Which I assume is in low demand due to the horrid MPGs it gets and being body of frame doesn't appeal to the "soft" crowd.

Though this topic is already quite old, I would like to join. It seems like new car prices are getting crazier and crazier these days. It's pretty frustrating to see dealerships tacking on extra fees and markups on top of the sticker price. It's not just the sticker price and markup that you have to consider when buying a car, but also the cost of transporting it if necessary.
I was shocked my neighbor sold his 2012 4Runner with 180k for $25k even was gone in a couple of days on Craigslist. I've got a 2010 runs like an absolute beast gas, rubber and oil....rinse and repeat.
 
Just bought a Hyundai Kona for our daughter who’s about to graduate HS and head off to college… Paid sticker and got zero% financing.

And yes, the finance dude did everything he could to try to sell us on the extended warranty, etc. Every time he offered another spin on it, I countered with “how about you take ‘X’ off the car, and lower the price, then I’ll consider your offer.”

I think he finally got the message when I told him to take the air out of the tires and knock another $100 off the price…told him I’d fill ‘em up with my own compressor for that price.

Ah yes the old "nitrogen in the tires" B.S. for $100 to $500 or whatever.
Last time someone told me that, I just told them I'd have CostCo do it for free next time I was shopping.

Yeah, there's a lot of articles and stuff coming out now that the car manufacturers are very happy with this new business model of keeping demand very high by lack of volume and not flooding dealer lots with cars, not having to offer rebates etc. They pre-sell most of the cars they make, they get to jack up prices, many are only making mid to high trims because they are by far the most profitable cars. Plus people have been beaten for 3 years now to blame it on covid and just accept all those markups and feel bad for those poor companies making record profit margins.

The only way it will change is if one of the car manufacturers breaks ranks and starts turning out tons of cars with lower prices, or consumers as a group gain 50IQ points and stop buying, which is very unlikely.

A buddy of mine runs a local dealership. Went from 150+ cars on the lot to nothing a couple of years ago. Looked like a brutal time to be in the car business.

I asked him how it was going and he responded that he had never made more money. People just wanted a new car and didn't flinch at dealer mark-up, add-ons and all the other "bullshit" (his words).
 
Yep, for the last couple decades people thought car dealers were a pretty reputable business compared to their reputation before that, no haggle pricing, etc. It wasn't that they were good businesses, it's simply that the market didn't allow them to use the strategies they use now. $700 for nitrogen, $2000 PPF, adding every dealer accessory they can.

Manufacturers don't care, they just put out some articles that make it look like they are on the consumers side, by chastising the dealers playing games but they aren't bringing the hammer down.

The new game they like to play, is because some manufacturers started to balk at huge markups, so now they charge MSRP but if you want to place an order for say a Z06 vette, they auction off their order slots off etc. So you pay MSRP but you might have to pay $50k to get an order slot.

At the end of the day as long as consumers are stupid enough to keep buying cars despite the games, dealers are going to keep screwing them.
 
This is probably why Tesla is so popular.
See the price on the web, pay it no dealer B.S.
