      I experienced this in the end of last year when the market had already dried up for several months and people were thinking that they were charging COVID prices still when I could buy cars from a dealer for less money than they were asking.
      Took some months but I found a great private party deal on a Nissan LEAF and we have been driving it in our short trips and local miles ever since.
      A cheap EV is a great way to save money on all your local driving provided you can charge at home.

    Newer used cars (4 to 5 years old) are still commanding very high prices. Some within a couple thousand dollars of brand new! Paired with high used car interest rates, you are better off just buying a new sub $35k car. You will get a lower manufacturer interest rate (0% in some cases, incentive cash, plus a warranty. The savings in accrued interest offset the cost of new and slightly higher insurance premium. You would need to buy a 10 year plus used car and put down money to make buying an older used car worthwhile at 10% to 12% used car rates. . And that's if you can find any just 10 years old at an affordable price. 10 year old vehicles are in high demand.

    My neighbor just bought his first car, a 2016 Toyota Camry with 86,000 miles on it from a private seller for just $8000 It looks to be in good condition.
    His problem, however, is getting car insurance at his young age. $600+ they demand right now.
    The car prices are just one part of the problem. Insurance is high and cost of maintenance and driving is high as well.

      Also if the insurance is $600 for 6 months, it’s not bad at all. If it is per month, it’s a rip off. Ask em to look elsewhere. Insurance rates are but not that high for an 8 year old, $8000 Toyota Camry.

    Our auto insurance hasn't gone anywhere near that over the past few years.
    As for prices going up when interest rates go down it depends on how many consumers will be in a position to buy.
    If interest rates come down in response to deteriorating economic conditions and we have high unemployment there may not be as much demand as you expect.
    If someone is in the camp of interest rates coming down over the next 1 - 2 years could be a good time to buy then refinance when rates come down.

    If you are buying via credit / payments, it's better to wait until rates fall. That way you are paying thousands less in interest over the loan life. Or if you need a car now, join a credit union. Mine offers 7% on new cars and 7.5% on used (2018 and newer).
    I've seen some small movement downward in used (2018+) mid-sized truck prices over the past 2 months. Most units 3-4 years old are still over $30K, unless they are base trim, have a branded title or tons of miles.

      Are you better off if it causes prices to increase?
      I just don't see any scenario where lower interest is better except for lower monthly payments.. It causes prices to increase and put you in higher debt, we could run into the same scenario where car prices have to drop again due to demand, then your underwater on your car and have to own it for the full length of the loan..
      More people need to think of using cash than credit in the US.. To think it hurts the economy is dumb because ultimately it just allows companies to increase the prices of everything because people just throw it on credit and then live their lives paycheck to paycheck. They ultimately just make the same amount of money anyway, they can still live paycheck to paycheck without being in financial ruins due to credit.

      ​You are always better off with lower rates. Example: $50k @ 4% over 5 years and you will pay $5200 in interest. The same loan @ 8% and you pay $10,800 in interest. I'd rather save the $5600 for my family.
      Buying with cash is best, but most don't have $50K in liquid assets to drop on a car. Also most people aren't really taught basic finance in school which is why we have so many buying way beyond their means. Credit has been far too easy to get over the past 40 years and US consumers already have $1.12 Trillion in cc debt. This amount is more than the GDP of 90% of the countries in the world. 🤡

    Here in Canada, a 2025 Camry SE (the base model sold in Canada ) starts at $42,000 MSRP and comes with a 9% rate for 60 months. So you decide to buy a used Camry: A 2018 Camry that had $8,000 in accident damage repaired = $28,000 or higher. A 2008 Corolla that had $5,000 in accident damage repaired = $12,000 or higher. A brand new 2024 Corolla LE with no damage or rust = $27,000 MSRP. Out of all of those, the new Corolla is the only one affordable and not a wreck.

    The fed isn’t going to lower interest any time soon.
    The big thing is credit card debt. With all of the rate hikes, credit card debt continues to sore. It only drops one time every year. Tax season. That’s why a couple months ago it sounded like they were going to lower rates. But once debt went back up, they had no choice but to maintain. At this point, I would t be surprised to see rates go up again. And I think they need to.
    The amount of corporations who have dozens of houses bought just so they can hold and sell when rates go back down is absurd. If another increase is announced, they immediately lose. They’d have no choice but to dump the houses back on the market, lowering prices. And yes, that will crash the market. It needed to crash 2 years ago. All we’re doing is dragging it out, making it last longer.
    I’d say we’re looking at 3-4 years before the market for all financed goods is back to a decent point. But I don’t think we see rates as low as before again.

    I think rates going down will have a small bump in car prices since many buyers will be tapped out. Many buyers will be limited on cash, no/low paying job, and credit destroyed when the Fed drops rates. Those who will come in since they stashed cash, still have a decent job, and credit is great will be the reason for a small bump. They will get the reward while everyone else gets screwed.

  • @SheriseMarie
    @SheriseMarie 17 дней назад

    I think the used car prices will go up because dealers have been sitting on inventory during these high interest rates. They’ll need to increase prices when rates are low and demand is high again to make that money back.
    This is why I bought my car at a higher interest rate last month. Will refinance it when rates drop because hey at least when used car prices go up again I’ll have a little bit of equity for trade in purposes.

I’ve purchased plenty of new cars back in ‘06, ‘08 and 2014 and a couple before 2000, I understand those days are gone but then so is the availability of me buying new. I just can’t afford a $700 + payment. You get me a new vehicle below $500 and I’ll consider it. I’m not talking about an economy car or small suv/truck, I’m not in high school anymore. If I can’t afford a new 1/2 ton or full size vehicle (do they even make these anymore?) then I’ll buy a nice used one.
