Um, is anyone surprised by this? What did banks and dealerships think was going to happen when you're financing cars at 3k, 5k, 10k, and 15k over MSRP?
You're ignoring the biggest variable in all of the planet....human nature is selfish....there's no such thing as what "the banks" thought....it's simply selfish people thinking up ways to move cars and loans for their own temporary rewards and bonuses not caring what it does to the entity they work for or the government or the buyers.....
No...that's not the problem.... the problem is why did banks approve auto loans to buyers who were least qualified???? Why did the banks fail to perform income verification????? The banks were lazy and irresponsible... so the banks get what it deserve

And a lot of people think if the do a voluntary repo and give the car back that their debt gets wiped out. It doesn't. If you owe $10k and the bank sells it at auction for $4k, you still owe the $6k. The bank can sue you, get a judgement and ask the judge to garnish your paycheck.
no they cannot that's small claims they can be awarded a judgement collection is still entirely on them and no they cannot garnish your wages for that laughable.
@biff3917 As someone who use to work for collections firm. You are 100% wrong they can but only if it's worth the what's owed as it cost money to file and fees for the attorney and such. Bankruptcy is the only way out of it.
My inlaws just went through this. Yes his pay check is being garnished for a vehicle and credit cards. They all went after him and boy did they eat him up.
I worked for a bank and my duties included repossessing cars. Never buy a repo car. Never. The repo process takes 3-4 months from the first missed payment to the actual repo. Owners have neglected and beat them. They are filthy inside, with dirt, food/beverage spills, cigarette butts, drug residue, and mystery fluids. I carried a repo bag with essential fluids like oil, brake/power steering fluid, coolant, small tool kit, etc.. I also used rubber gloves and sat on a trash bag to protect my clothes. The price may be tempting but no matter how cheap it is it’s too expensive. Never buy a repo.
I've bought many many repos and I highly recommend it. Great way to get a great deal obviously there is a risk involved but honestly as long as you are aware of what you are buying no reason to not go for it. Lots of the used vehicles are repos and you are not even aware of it
@@michaelsj8084 depends on the auction and/or dealer. There's a few dealers in my area that will let you shop auctions through them and there is several public ones as well
@David = Good Grief !! If the car is checked out, needs some cleaning, is being sold at a huge discount ... worth the risk. Any other advice you wish to give?
I’m a realtor in California. Not a lot of inventory because people don’t want to sell and get a higher rate. But, the people that are buying have a huge payment. I’m seeing mortgage payments for buyers at $5,000 a month. To me that’s not sustainable. I think there will be a lot of foreclosures here in a few years.
Voluntary Repo is much kinder than Forced Repo. I just financed a Prius with Toyota Motor Credit after 7 years doing a Voluntary Repo with Ford Motor Credit.
Been there. Done that. Couldn't recover. THEN........ I got rid of the wife! 814 credit rating baby! New wife is much better. However, when I got a motorcycle last week she did ask that I sell one of my trucks. Something about not being able to drive three trucks.........😅
let the repos pile up……I don’t remotely feel bad for all the Covid ballers, the finance companies or the dealerships that participated in this nonsense. myself and the other responsible people will be here buying toys at a big discount. This is just beginning…..
Banks are currently being bailed out again with the 4 trillion lift on the debt ceiling. The Government is trying to keep it on the down low. Expect everyone including you to pay more taxes in the future. Because they have kicked the can one too many times as far as the National debt. So don't feel sorry for others. This crap will effect everyone. Bankers never feel the squeeze.
Hahaha exactly what I was thinking. They'll get what they deserve for short sighted gains and we get to cash out because we didn't go finance a car that was priced 20k over msrp
@@tompasch2447 Thats pretty awesome. This maybe something more about Toyota Tacoma's. I've seen guy buy fairly new Mercedes S 500 that were 5 years ago 160 and the guy bought it for 15 at a auction. Japanese cars got too expensive for their reliability they're almost at a iconic stage.
I remember back in the late 80s my Dad bought 100s of cars from GMAC.....everything from Cavaliers to 1 ton trucks. ....everyone of them a repo. History always repeats itself
Repos are still sketchy. Owners don't take care of them. Even used car dealers don't like to mess with them but these days they don't have much choice as nicer trade in's are in rapid decline as new car sales are cooling down. If your in the business I can see being able to limit your liability but to your average retail buyer I'd avoid repos like the plague. With limited good used cars on dealer lots its probably wise for people to search out third party with nicer low mileage one owner vehicles. Allot of buyers with nicer cars have taken themselves out of the market since MSRP's have ballooned over 30 percent since 2019. Something has to break pretty soon. New car inventories are swelling over 100 days on the lots with many oems.
I haven't bought a vehicle on credit in over 20 years and am amazed at the money I've saved. I pay cash for what I figured I could afford and look for the best I.can find for what I want to pay and it has worked out great. We have always kept a backup vehicle in case my wife's or my vehicle breaks down we can still function as normal while repairs are made to the vehicle needing it.
That's our story! We drive old, pay cash, maintain, & keep 4 @ all times ( including the old pickup). We have a sum total of $6500 into 4 vehicles. Life is good. I'm retired now & enjoying buying and selling land just for kicks
When I was a car salesman a couple came in late in the day, took them for a test drive and they wanted to buy. I immediately knew something was wrong because I was a lousy car salesman. The couple had been to 3 other dealerships that day and were declined for a loan because they had terrible credit. They could not finance fries from MacDonalds. I had to tell them they were denied. They looked at me shocked. I felt like saying, you denied for credit for the same reason the other dealers told you.
Homes in the 80's were in the 50k to150k range. People were putting down 10 to 30 percent and paying 800 to 1500 a month. Now Homes are 5 to 8 times more. That's the main difference
@coreymurphy2711 I bought my first house in 1984. 99k dollars My payment was around 1200. Put 5 grand down. I wish it had been 200 to 400... Interest rates were around 11 percent
If they couldnt afford the car and couldnt make a payment, im pretty certain they didnt change the oil amd do routine maintenance. I'd run from them. Until people learn to live within their means, its gonna get worse.
@@hearditfirst8010 What's interesting is that doesn't cost much money. Like my helmet cover was $40 maybe (I got over 300 compliments in the first couple months, it was getting ridiculous, even yesterday I still had like 3 people either directly say they liked the helmet or gave me a thumbs up while driving by). Then at night I flick on the underglow (really to me its just a safety thing, its almost impossible to see from the sides at night and everyone expects a car, so a single tail light looks like a car way out in the distance), and underglow is cheap to install yourself (and I've tested mine up to 150 mph, so its sticking on there). My car for example I have some projector lamps that when you open the doors they project my car's engine design and model (because its a wankel rotary engine, everything on that car is stylized like a triangle), but stuff like that cost $20 and popped in with 5 minutes of effort and looks great. Other vehicles I've put lasers projected (front of a motorized bicycle was a chrome spear, doubled as a kickstand for fueling its front wheel drive engine), but at night it highlighted exactly where I was turning and the thing was absolutely silent when pedaling (nobody seems to oil or grease their chains or bearings I guess) if I wasn't using the engine, so it was helpful again at night because pedestrians looking down at their phones would see lasers on the ground (direction of phone screen) and look up.
The Heavy Chevy Chevelle was only available for 2 years, 1971-72. Heavy on looks, light on price. Not as desirable as the SS models but still an option for a quick Chevelle with less options.
As someone who has had 2 loans with Westlake I'll say they are ON YOU for payment. They call before your payment date and if you're 1 day late they are calling everyday until paid. They are fair though like if you have to split your payment they're not happy about it but they will bend.
West lake is scum. I had a car I paid in cash and held the title got repoed. We had the car for over two years went it got repoed. Turns out west lake was the last lender, the auction we got it at some how the money we paid they never cleared the repo order. It took a week to get the car back
I just bought a 2010 Lincoln Navigator L for only $10,000, has already depreciated. You lose a lot of money when you buy a brand new vehicle. Especially with depreciation.
the rate is less relevant when the avg house was 100k a 8-10% rate wasnt as bad, when the avg house is over 400K now those 6-8% rates is way more money in interest - almost no one mentions that part
All my cars are paid off and it’s a wonderful feeling knowing that, no matter what, I never have to worry about repossession or even car payments for that matter. My advice to all, buy a car you truly love. Then maintain it and repair it yourself. Everything you need to know is on RUclips. Seriously! I replaced the heads on my kids volvo by watching RUclips tutorials.
Yeah..but the way looks,I guess we need to learn to convert our gas vehicle to electric,thanks to uncle Joe! Unless,perhaps we are saved by the next election with someone who has a brain!
@@Mr_Spock512 I never understand it either. Im young and I’ve never once considered a new vehicle. I too go to RUclips and fix my own car. I just use my motorcycle (the only new vehicle I bought) which is 16 years old and running like new.
@@Mr_Spock512 Exactly. As a kid I never understand why my boomer dad never financed a car or bought one new. He only gave in for the cash for clunkers because it was a huge discount. My dad never had a mortgage and invested in several land properties in prime locations. We didn’t have a great house but a great property that im sure saved him decades of worry. He cashed out and bought a new home. 15 years later worth 35% more. Im jealous of his generation. I don’t know anyone my age who owns a home outright that their parents weren’t already millionaires. My dad owned several properties younger than me. I just learned in his generation that 2-3 year old cars were considered old or throw away cars. Everyone my age that looks really rich, is two paychecks away from bankruptcy. They make great money but don’t own anything. I refuse to buy anything that I won’t value and use several years later. However I do buy memories, but not regrets. I never regret traveling and meeting new people and foreigners across the US. My happiest moments. I limit worry. And maximize my personal value. Loosing my best friends has changed the way I see life. Confidence. I no longer worry about things that don’t matter when I’m dead.
That's very true I got a low milage Ram 1500 regular cab & even though the payments are very high along with high interest. I absolutely love it, I baby it I upgrade all the time I make sure I take care of that monthly payment.
Sometimes it has nothing to do with bad judgement. Illness, death, job loss, etc. A lot of reason cars get repossessed that have nothing to do with bad judgement.
I went shopping for a car last week. The two I looked at in used car dealers were beat up, now i know why. Went with a private seller in better condition for almost half of what dealers were asking for a worse condition car of the same model and age.
Papa Al misremembers. In the 70’s the typical IR was 6% add on or 11.08% for a 36 month loan. Then we got 48 month loans. If you weren’t an informed buyer or were a credit risk the F&I Manager would bury the customer with 9% add on plus Dual Life with A&H. I remember in 1976, our F&I Manager would put some unfortunate customers on the Patriot Package, 17.76%. Back then most loans weren’t Simple Interest either, they were Rule of 78’s which was another way of croaking a customer.
How bout since I was in the Marines in the 70s. I haven't given it much thought but that's the last time I made payments. It was on a 75 Trans Am ,paid off in 79, the day I got my dd214 from uncle Sam..
@@pmscalisi got that right those car payment days are over there's too much going on in this country with house rent being outrageous people are no longer entertaining car payments unless it's no other option
Yeah the interest used to be higher but home prices are exponentially higher now so the comparison does not hold up in today's market. Not even remotely so. Why bother even mentioning that? Basically a house that cost 100K in 1996 cost 300K now.
Same thing happened with the housing market. Banks practically gave out loans to just about anybody, prices skyrocketed, and then reality hit. Market was flooded with foreclosures, awesome opportunity for flippers, entrepreneurs, real estate investors, etc. Once again, basic economics, no big surprise here.
$1500 new or used? I bought a 66 Mustang Fastback from the original owner in 76 for $250. Got the Bondo out for the Michigan rust then new paint and it looked new again.
Just proves “if you don’t have the money in your pocket (and in the bank) you do not need it. Buy junkers until you can afford nice (used, of course)! Amazing how much debt this country has.
Mostly banks fault for having loose guild lines. Its 2007 all over again. People are dumb and will sign anything. Its the bank's job to be bankers. Many of them just collected batches of crappy loans and sold them to sub prime lenders. And now the government is about to bail out the banks again with the 4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling. Allot of that money is earmarked to bail out these fat CEO's. Again. With no recourse for their criminal behaviors. Bottom line is buyers will over extend everyday of the week and twice on Sunday if you let them. Inflation will continue to rise because the feds keep printing money. Expect more taxes more. Allot more.
You don’t even have to buy a “ junker” an older ford crown Vic or Mercury Grand Marquis with 80,000 on it can easily save you a monthly payment. Will be reliable enough for anything you need it to be and will almost certainly last for another 200,000 with basic maintenance. Though you should be able to do stuff like your own brakes or fluid changes if you really want to save money
It's all about the correction of the Pendulum. No dealer was complaining when they got to sell a 10k car for 20k. If you weren't forth sighted enough to see this correction coming, then so be it. Bye Felicia 👋
I had a truck repossessed a few years ago. I couldn’t afford the payments and it went with brand new 35x12.50x20 tires and a spray in bed liner. Very clean inside and out with two keys and an ecodiesel that had around 40,000 miles on it. Still recovering as starting a dealership with a repo on my record is pretty much impossible..
Fellow humans. Please read this. You do not need a new vehicle ever! Buy a get around car and when you need to travel if you don’t have confidence in that car go rent what you need for that family. No one gives a shit what you driving around every day. Look at it like this …. If no one ever saw you in it would you buy it? Get it together.
I saw this coming. We've kept our 2016 Honda Odyssey and our 2012 Toyota tundra. Both are paid for. Btw the tundra is worth more than what I paid for it 5 years ago. It now only has 75K miles on it
Hey to each is own. I'll do my thing and take my chances. I know eventually of course we're going to have to purchase vehicles but no way is it going to be right now. I simply refuse to over pay
A reason someone would buy something over 10k is someone like me. I’m 60 years old and want to buy my last car. I want something super reliable that I won’t have to replace in the next 15 years. I’m getting a used Lexus ES350 for 20k.
Repos are up because the vehicles are overpriced people can't keep up with the payments again because the vehicles are overpriced if you have to stretch a a payment plan anymore than 5 years you can't afford it and now it's becoming quite obvious that people can't afford it for some reason car companies have forgotten Henry Ford's idea to make them cheap enough so everybody could afford to buy one people are desperate to get that new car prices are just too high and with interest rates it's going to get even worse it's going to go back to 1905 when only the rich could afford to drive
I advise people to do whatever it take to be able to pay for a car with cash, in other words don't take out a loan to buy a vehicle. If you have to take a second or third job to stack money way for a car try to do it.
My parents mortgage on their first house in 1981 I believe was 14%. My Uncle told them they were crazy for taking an Adjustable Rate Mortgage according to my father. Of course, interest rates went down. And of course, the price of the house was only $20,000. My father finally sold the house last year. The $20,000 house in 1981 sold for $500K. We are lucky asset values have held up as well as they have, but if interest rates stay this high or go higher, it will eventually be a depression like scenario as everything is price for 0% interest rates, not 10%. Tesla gets this, some of the “legacy” automakers, they are in La La land.
@@dongningprc You can get a capital gain exclusion on the sale of a primary residence up to $250K for a single person and $500k for couples filing jointly. There are some conditions, mainly that you claimed the property as your primary residence at least two of the last five years.
Modern engines really need the oil changed on time. You maybe buying a ruined engine , might run fine now but it’s doomed. If you save ten grand maybe , it could work out.
Figuring out why a car is being sold cheap, especially when you know it has been replaced by another iffy car will often be discovered in the first weeks of ownership. Got a 240,000 mile Corolla, turned out it had a bad speedometer sometimes stopping the trans from shifting. Bought a 4 year old VW the gas tank was crushed, it would stall on turns less than half tank of gas. Bought an F150 didn't think it would make it home the power was so low, had a clogged fuel filter and the fuel pump went out 2 weeks after the new filter.
The last NEW vehicle we bought was my wife's 2016 Ford Escape. We financed as much as we could through Ford motor credit at 0% interest. We had the cash to buy the car outright, but it would have cost us more money to pay cash. I did the same thing back in 1989 when I bought my Ford Taurus wagon at 1.9% interest. 1. If we paid cash, the dealer would not have dropped the price as much as they did by us financing it. 2. We would have had to cash out some investments that were making more money than the interest being charged and lost that income. Sometimes it cost more to pay cash. When it makes sense, borrow money. Cash is not always king. Sometimes credit is better. Use it wisely. Take care and think smart. DocW
Needs new tires because it needs an alignment and possibly front steering or suspension parts but I'm sure you won't tell whoever you sell it to that. That's why you don't buy cars off curbers and backyard sellers with dealership licences.
Safest are the ones in nobody's name, that don't exist, and cannot be taken away when they decide to ban them (that goes for any tool, transportation tools included). Can't take what someone never had, and government likes to "civil asset forfeiture" anything they can get their hands on, even if they never charge you for anything.
In 1996 mortgage interest rates were in the 8 to 11 % range. I got a 15 year fixed at 8.25 % on a 52,000 house. Things have gone up substantially since then. Late 80s interest rates were 11 to 14 % but we survived it and the economy recovered.

It’s actually been very reliable except for a bad sensor.
Is everyone getting massive raises at work? How are people paying 1200 a month for a car? My boss just paid 80 grand for a truck. Seems like somethings got to give
When I bought my first car the interest rate was 6% granted it was 1995 and the car cost about 13k. The monthly payments were affordable. Now between the interest rate and overwhelmingly outrageous prices even with an excellent credit score I'd still need to put down at least 10k to get payments affordable. Why buy I'm better off fixing up my old car.
Correct its the extreme high MSRP's that will kill the sector. The pricing model is NOT sustainable. Interest rates will not come down anytime soon and inflation is already taking many buyers off the market for new. This will not change. By end of year we will see 20 percent off MSRP's.
Um, is anyone surprised by this? What did banks and dealerships think was going to happen when you're financing cars at 3k, 5k, 10k, and 15k over MSRP?

My inlaws just went through this. Yes his pay check is being garnished for a vehicle and credit cards. They all went after him and boy did they eat him up.
I worked for a bank and my duties included repossessing cars. Never buy a repo car. Never. The repo process takes 3-4 months from the first missed payment to the actual repo. Owners have neglected and beat them. They are filthy inside, with dirt, food/beverage spills, cigarette butts, drug residue, and mystery fluids. I carried a repo bag with essential fluids like oil, brake/power steering fluid, coolant, small tool kit, etc.. I also used rubber gloves and sat on a trash bag to protect my clothes. The price may be tempting but no matter how cheap it is it’s too expensive. Never buy a repo.
I've bought many many repos and I highly recommend it. Great way to get a great deal obviously there is a risk involved but honestly as long as you are aware of what you are buying no reason to not go for it. Lots of the used vehicles are repos and you are not even aware of it

I’m a realtor in California. Not a lot of inventory because people don’t want to sell and get a higher rate. But, the people that are buying have a huge payment. I’m seeing mortgage payments for buyers at $5,000 a month. To me that’s not sustainable. I think there will be a lot of foreclosures here in a few years.
California is just a poor dirty Northern Mexico with Swiss prices.

Banks are currently being bailed out again with the 4 trillion lift on the debt ceiling. The Government is trying to keep it on the down low. Expect everyone including you to pay more taxes in the future. Because they have kicked the can one too many times as far as the National debt. So don't feel sorry for others.

I remember back in the late 80s my Dad bought 100s of cars from GMAC.....everything from Cavaliers to 1 ton trucks. ....everyone of them a repo. History always repeats itself
Repos are still sketchy. Owners don't take care of them. Even used car dealers don't like to mess with them but these days they don't have much choice as nicer trade in's are in rapid decline as new car sales are cooling down. If your in the business I can see being able to limit your liability but to your average retail buyer I'd avoid repos like the plague. With limited good used cars on dealer lots its probably wise for people to search out third party with nicer low mileage one owner vehicles. Allot of buyers with nicer cars have taken themselves out of the market since MSRP's have ballooned over 30 percent since 2019. Something has to break pretty soon. New car inventories are swelling over 100 days on the lots with many oems.
You're dad needs to be more responsible. That's alot of repos for one person. 😮 😂😂😂

When I was a car salesman a couple came in late in the day, took them for a test drive and they wanted to buy. I immediately knew something was wrong because I was a lousy car salesman. The couple had been to 3 other dealerships that day and were declined for a loan because they had terrible credit. They could not finance fries from MacDonalds. I had to tell them they were denied. They looked at me shocked. I felt like saying, you denied for credit for the same reason the other dealers told you.

@@hearditfirst8010 What's interesting is that doesn't cost much money. Like my helmet cover was $40 maybe (I got over 300 compliments in the first couple months, it was getting ridiculous, even yesterday I still had like 3 people either directly say they liked the helmet or gave me a thumbs up while driving by). Then at night I flick on the underglow (really to me its just a safety thing, its almost impossible to see from the sides at night and everyone expects a car, so a single tail light looks like a car way out in the distance), and underglow is cheap to install yourself (and I've tested mine up to 150 mph, so its sticking on there).
My car for example I have some projector lamps that when you open the doors they project my car's engine design and model (because its a wankel rotary engine, everything on that car is stylized like a triangle), but stuff like that cost $20 and popped in with 5 minutes of effort and looks great. Other vehicles I've put lasers projected (front of a motorized bicycle was a chrome spear, doubled as a kickstand for fueling its front wheel drive engine), but at night it highlighted exactly where I was turning and the thing was absolutely silent when pedaling (nobody seems to oil or grease their chains or bearings I guess) if I wasn't using the engine, so it was helpful again at night because pedestrians looking down at their phones would see lasers on the ground (direction of phone screen) and look up.
My cars and women are always cheap and used.

As someone who has had 2 loans with Westlake I'll say they are ON YOU for payment. They call before your payment date and if you're 1 day late they are calling everyday until paid. They are fair though like if you have to split your payment they're not happy about it but they will bend.
West lake is scum. I had a car I paid in cash and held the title got repoed. We had the car for over two years went it got repoed. Turns out west lake was the last lender, the auction we got it at some how the money we paid they never cleared the repo order. It took a week to get the car back

All my cars are paid off and it’s a wonderful feeling knowing that, no matter what, I never have to worry about repossession or even car payments for that matter. My advice to all, buy a car you truly love. Then maintain it and repair it yourself. Everything you need to know is on RUclips. Seriously! I replaced the heads on my kids volvo by watching RUclips tutorials.

@@Mr_Spock512 Exactly. As a kid I never understand why my boomer dad never financed a car or bought one new. He only gave in for the cash for clunkers because it was a huge discount. My dad never had a mortgage and invested in several land properties in prime locations. We didn’t have a great house but a great property that im sure saved him decades of worry. He cashed out and bought a new home. 15 years later worth 35% more. Im jealous of his generation. I don’t know anyone my age who owns a home outright that their parents weren’t already millionaires. My dad owned several properties younger than me. I just learned in his generation that 2-3 year old cars were considered old or throw away cars. Everyone my age that looks really rich, is two paychecks away from bankruptcy. They make great money but don’t own anything. I refuse to buy anything that I won’t value and use several years later. However I do buy memories, but not regrets. I never regret traveling and meeting new people and foreigners across the US. My happiest moments. I limit worry. And maximize my personal value. Loosing my best friends has changed the way I see life. Confidence. I no longer worry about things that don’t matter when I’m dead.
That's very true I got a low milage Ram 1500 regular cab & even though the payments are very high along with high interest. I absolutely love it, I baby it I upgrade all the time I make sure I take care of that monthly payment.
Not everybody in this world has cash buddy
My friend in high school bought a Heavy Chevy new when he graduated in 1971. Absolutely real.
When a person has bad judgement and buys a car they cant afford there is a high likelihood that they dont take care of things either.
Sometimes it has nothing to do with bad judgement. Illness, death, job loss, etc. A lot of reason cars get repossessed that have nothing to do with bad judgement.
My brother had a 70 Chevelle that had Heavy Chevy on the quarters back in 1977
I went shopping for a car last week. The two I looked at in used car dealers were beat up, now i know why. Went with a private seller in better condition for almost half of what dealers were asking for a worse condition car of the same model and age.
We won't go in debt for a car. We save up our money and buy new with cash. Then we keep it for like 15 yrs until we can pay cash for another.
Papa Al misremembers. In the 70’s the typical IR was 6% add on or 11.08% for a 36 month loan. Then we got 48 month loans. If you weren’t an informed buyer or were a credit risk the F&I Manager would bury the customer with 9% add on plus Dual Life with A&H. I remember in 1976, our F&I Manager would put some unfortunate customers on the Patriot Package, 17.76%. Back then most loans weren’t Simple Interest either, they were Rule of 78’s which was another way of croaking a customer.
Glad I drive a POS. I don’t have car payment, full insurances and don’t have to keep up with the Jones family.
I haven’t had a car payment in so long, it fell off my credit report 😂

Yeah the interest used to be higher but home prices are exponentially higher now so the comparison does not hold up in today's market. Not even remotely so. Why bother even mentioning that? Basically a house that cost 100K in 1996 cost 300K now.
@HiPlains1 home prices climbed as a result of sub 3% interest rates.... they'll come down eventually
I hate modern cars. Another valid reason to buy older rides; they’re cheaper and more reliable!
Same thing happened with the housing market. Banks practically gave out loans to just about anybody, prices skyrocketed, and then reality hit. Market was flooded with foreclosures, awesome opportunity for flippers, entrepreneurs, real estate investors, etc. Once again, basic economics, no big surprise here.
And now it’s private equity with real money that own all the homes after irresponsible people couldn’t afford to make payments
In our area, investors even gobble up new homes to rent out at ridiculous prices.
Homes are to BUY, not rent.

Just proves “if you don’t have the money in your pocket (and in the bank) you do not need it. Buy junkers until you can afford nice (used, of course)! Amazing how much debt this country has.
Mostly banks fault for having loose guild lines. Its 2007 all over again. People are dumb and will sign anything. Its the bank's job to be bankers. Many of them just collected batches of crappy loans and sold them to sub prime lenders. And now the government is about to bail out the banks again with the 4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling. Allot of that money is earmarked to bail out these fat CEO's. Again. With no recourse for their criminal behaviors. Bottom line is buyers will over extend everyday of the week and twice on Sunday if you let them. Inflation will continue to rise because the feds keep printing money. Expect more taxes more. Allot more.
That's always been my motto. People have blurred the line between necessity and luxury. Luxury is something you can AFFORD to spoil yourself on.
Instead of “you don’t need it” I would say… you can’t afford it period.
Or unless you land an amazingly high paying job, or win the lottery. Then knock yourself out.
You don’t even have to buy a “ junker” an older ford crown Vic or Mercury Grand Marquis with 80,000 on it can easily save you a monthly payment. Will be reliable enough for anything you need it to be and will almost certainly last for another 200,000 with basic maintenance. Though you should be able to do stuff like your own brakes or fluid changes if you really want to save money

Repos are up because the vehicles are overpriced people can't keep up with the payments again because the vehicles are overpriced if you have to stretch a a payment plan anymore than 5 years you can't afford it and now it's becoming quite obvious that people can't afford it for some reason car companies have forgotten Henry Ford's idea to make them cheap enough so everybody could afford to buy one people are desperate to get that new car prices are just too high and with interest rates it's going to get even worse it's going to go back to 1905 when only the rich could afford to drive
I advise people to do whatever it take to be able to pay for a car with cash, in other words don't take out a loan to buy a vehicle. If you have to take a second or third job to stack money way for a car try to do it.

GMAC 1982 Pontiac 18.5%
The last NEW vehicle we bought was my wife's 2016 Ford Escape. We financed as much as we could through Ford motor credit at 0% interest. We had the cash to buy the car outright, but it would have cost us more money to pay cash.
I did the same thing back in 1989 when I bought my Ford Taurus wagon at 1.9% interest.
1. If we paid cash, the dealer would not have dropped the price as much as they did by us financing it.
2. We would have had to cash out some investments that were making more money than the interest being charged and lost that income.
Sometimes it cost more to pay cash.
When it makes sense, borrow money.
Cash is not always king. Sometimes credit is better.
Use it wisely.

Needs new tires because it needs an alignment and possibly front steering or suspension parts but I'm sure you won't tell whoever you sell it to that.

You’re exactly right, plus if you own a house they’ll probably put a lien on your property so when you sell it the car debt comes out of your equity.
Would you ask the owner of the Black Fiat 500 Turbo in the rear of the scene at 11:23 if they wanted to sell their black DRLS?
A newer audi with a check engine light is shocking... wait... no it isn't
My neighbor just had his GF
voluntarily repo her car. She was paying about 800 bucks a month between the car and insurance. She only makes like 900-1000 monthly. That is also how much she made when they allowed her to buy it without a cosigner. It was a newer Malibu. They could have traded it in and only been on the hook for 2k. Which they had. Dumb decision
Alot of dealers falsify income and get you approved at a finance institution that allows no proof of income. See it first hand on the daily
@drewmorris1174 Yeah, it's happened to me before, but the thing was I was able to afford it. This is how we got into the Mortgage Insurance BS. Wonder if it will happen with the car industry too.
@airthrowDBT that's Had not Have. He talked here into it, so he HAD her do it. It's also past tense because it has already been done.
You can't talk your GF into anything because she doesn't exist.
How the heck does a Malibu run anybody $800/month?
@diedonner299 26k car, a 800-1200 dollar trade in, low credit. Also the 800 factors in insurance, which for the 20 year old driver is like 2xx a month.
1981. I bought a 4 bedroom 3 bath. For 70 g. At a 17% interest rate.
I bought a 4 bed 3 bath home in 2015 for $152k @ 4.75
I got 2 loans 2.5 and 4.5, I’ll pay the 4.5 within a year the other one as usual 😊
Debt is dumb. Why not pay cash?
@@bikes7777 depends on your credit and the interest rate your getting the car at some people make a decent income but maybe don’t have the 60k to drop one shot on a car they want and not everyone really wants to go their entire life driving used cars in a perfect world yeah cash it out it’s what I do but not everyone can fork over that lump sum of cash

People need to make sure that the cars they finance for 5 or 6 years will last 5 or 6 years without any major repairs. They need to stop buying junk and high mileage vehicles.
When buying a new car just take care of it. Buy a Toyota and change the oil every 5k miles. Get it undercoated ever year since brand new. It’ll last you 20 years.
That Wrangler with the 3.6L V6 with the tappet noise, my daughter had 3 of those in less than a year. First was covered under warranty, second they would not cover, cost her $1100 and 3 months later it started again and she sold it. She is now driving a 2020 Toyota 4Runner and she’s happy……
8:40 I love the Audi S8 as well. My dad owns a 2017 S8 Plus with 605hp, it took me over 2 months to talk him into buying that one instead of a Diesel A6. Since getting my license it’s been the car I’ve driven the most and it’s absolutely amazing, comfortable on the Autobahn, even at speeds of 130 mph (fastest my dad went was 190mph) and it’s great on roads with a lot of corners. It’s actually been very reliable except for a bad sensor.
Worst cars: anything made by Dodge, value has imploded.
When someone knows their vehicle is about to be repo'd, they usually stop taking care of it, and beat the crap out of it?
Is everyone getting massive raises at work? How are people paying 1200 a month for a car? My boss just paid 80 grand for a truck. Seems like somethings got to give
When I bought my first car the interest rate was 6% granted it was 1995 and the car cost about 13k. The monthly payments were affordable. Now between the interest rate and overwhelmingly outrageous prices even with an excellent credit score I'd still need to put down at least 10k to get payments affordable. Why buy I'm better off fixing up my old car.
Correct its the extreme high MSRP's that will kill the sector. The pricing model is NOT sustainable. Interest rates will not come down anytime soon and inflation is already taking many buyers off the market for new. This will not change. By end of year we will see 20 percent off MSRP's.
If someone can't afford to make their car payment, they can't afford to maintain them properly too.
Interest rates in 70's was as high as 21%
So what? A decent house cost $50k then.
Interest rates in the the early 80’s were 15-18% bud. During Carter.
