And the dealers just pocketed the difference probably.

And they’re still incredibly overpriced, even if they’re $10k cheaper

Average new car costs 45k in America these days

Protip: don’t buy new cars.

Used cars are barely cheaper these days.

Oh, I don’t buy anything from a dealer, either. Just got a pickup for 4 grand. Got my sedan 11 years ago for 5 grand… fuck middlemen.

I had to buy a car recently. The first five I wanted were sniped by the time I got to the dealership. I wound up having to pay 16k for a 9 year old car with 135k miles on it.

Cars are bonkers across the board right now. I honestly wish I had gone with a smaller new car rather than this older SUV that has already cost me in repairs.
