Can somebody explain to me why 10 year old 200k mile shitboxes became so expensive all of a sudden...

New cars are shit tier
The internet educated normies that Japanese cockroach cars are not the unreliable horrors that the jews led them to believe and that buying on credit is essential to existence.

>New cars are getting outrageously expensive.

not really. Quality is getting outrageously bad though

only retards or people money to throw away buy new

Hyundai offers 10 year 100k warranty. If you want higher class just lease. If you want mid range and only want it for a few years, get a truck or v8 sports car to keep it's value. And just hope you don't need to do many repairs. Any decent v8 can shut off cylinders to get good mpg

Bump

inflation

Lol enjoy towing your ride two times per month

Based and redpilled.
everything else is wrong

>cash for clunkers
Yep, I remember turning in complete shitboxes with 4 donuts and getting thousands for them

This

scotty kilmer been shilling toyotas too much now all npc rush buy them

Not true. Let someone else gamble on the riskiest years of the car when things can a do go wrong, along with the initial depreciation. I'll gladly buy 2-3 year old cars with 20-30k miles even if I make it.

who

i literally cant keep up with all these ecelebs

Ford panther body cars are cheap as fuck. Or the equivalent old person luxury cars gm made. The reliability isn't that of Japanese brands but an grandma car with 70k miles for $3k is a steal.

That or police auctions

yeah because buying a junk 30 year old car is the same as buying a 10 year old one.
my current car is a vw touareg . 175k miles, driven 22k of those miles, no issues bought for $4500

Yep, President Halfnog took perfectly good vehicles and destroyed them as a "fuck you" to anyone turning 16.

How would one break free from such a fate?

revolution. we need a system reset. doesn't matter if it's communism or whatever. just a reset will do.

The used market is still recovering from the cash for clunkers program.

I'm not talking on a mass scale, more on the individual level...

Are you fucking retarded?
>(Yes, you are)
Reliability across all brands is fucking light-years ahead of 90s to early 2000s.
What car to you drive?

so did anyone make a lot of money by being fraudulent with the cash for clunkers program? were millionaires made out of this?

The Toyota Corolla is possibly the most reliable car around. 200k+ miles is no problem. These have another 100k left in them.

The fact that they are so new means most of the miles are likely highway miles.

based
see through the degradation, tell people the truth because they seem not to understand what's going on, even if they hate you afterwards at first and gossip about you, eventually they'll see that you were right and they were the clown NPCs and propagate the good meme

scotty kilmer is based

on an individual level theres not much you can do. get into crime or become homeless. thats pretty much your only option. it's inlikely a bank will give you a business loan with no collateral. and you sure as shit ain't gonna buy no $100k house working at a mcjob. so that kinda narrows it down.

forgive the typos I'm positng from my phone.

I was thinking more along the lines of working a decent job while not falling into the consumerism meme while investing as much as possible, then retire early...basically disregarding the rat race and trying to maintain the most autonomy as possible, is my line of thinking incorrect?

upcoming years will tell
corrosion resistance is surely better
otoh all the bullshit electronics and cheap components are expensive to maintain and technologically early stage therefore unreliable
boomer boxes could be fixed in backyard or any semi-decent car mechanic

Looks like in the gig economy these shit boxes have their parts priced in them now

Dude i bought a car brand new used, still had warranty and everything. Rich dude just trying to off his sons old car cause he was a dick head kid
Let someone else drive it off the lot and lose all that money and pick it up after.

American cars are so shit that people prefer a 10 yo nip car over them

Stay single and you got the right idea

These are Toyota’s that’s why

>Hyundai offers 10 year 100k warranty.
bwahhahahhahahh, try cashing in that fucking warranty.

My brother got a brand new Hyundai Elantra in 2005. The engine seized at 2000 miles. They wouldn't honor the warranty because there was a dent on passenger door (the size of someone opening a door into the side or grocery cart) and they said this was proof the car had been in collision and had bent the cars from and thus the car was void of all warranty

At least it keep niggers off the street.

jesus christ you sound like a fucking low iq monkey regurgitating the stale "yikes" meme. Go dip your head in hot boiling oil or stop saying that word.

What ended up happening?

Having a model T was like owning a bentley. And by the time ford ramped out car production it’s main purpose was to make a car everyone can afford. So cars should be the same price adjusted for inflation, if anything cheaper because how available they are and more effiicent production lines(cars arent handbuild assembly lines now)

That’s when you call a lawyer

This

those aren't bad prices for a toyota though, you realize the tires and brakes alone are worth like $500, the used engine is probably worth at least $1000

the argument is that if a car has lasted for 100,000 miles with no issues it will probably keep chugging along, brand new cars sometimes have manufacturer or design defects

You're not wrong.
There's a reason why I only buy NA cars, and refuse to buy any of these FI shit boxes.
Also, anytime a manufacturer calls something "lifelong" (like a coolant for example) they're full of shit. change it at 70k miles
(not directly to you as you seem to know the benefits of simple vehicles, but to anyone else who reads this).
Long live the carb.

We're both wrong (t. that poster posting from home now); I was wrong because the Model T was $18,000 you're wrong because the Model T was not the Bentley of its time, rather a car for the average consumer.

>should be cheaper

The original automobiles were like an engine block on wheels. Cars are incredibly complex machines these days not to mention the electronics woven throughout. The fact I just paid for my car (a 2018 Ford Focus with 2k miles) two thousand less than what a Model T would've cost is pretty crazy all things considered, even if the Focus is a shitty economy car in the end

This is a good point, the Focus from the years 2012-16 or so were notorious for transmission issues and I can literally only take it on faith that these have been addressed in this more recent model or else I've set myself up for an unparalleled justening.

Mexishits flooding our open borders, takin all the cheap cars

This.

Death. Only the void can break those chains.

>who
HE SAID: SCOTTY KILMER

This drove the price of used vans, SUVs and pickup trucks through the fucking roof. Companies took advantage of this and scrapped entire fleets of vans and pickups that could have easily been on the road for another 10 years.

FUCK OBAMA

Companies with fleet vehicles

>$4000 for a car
>expensive
holy shit imagine being this poor

they were never a few hundred dollars

>capitalism and materialisticism are not gay slave mentality ideologies
how about a sustainabilityism and progressivism you primitive gay ape

Same reason for the housing crisis in 2008, really. Cheap subprime auto lending allows anyone with a pulse to purchase clunkers in the 3-12k range. This flood of excess demand that would otherwise be priced out of the market and be forced to ride the bus is now able to buy these trash autos.

>Doesn't have 3k in cash for a used car
Are people this fucking poor these days?

IDK if millionaires were made, but yes there was a lot of fraud. Cars were taken that shouldn't have been, cars were deemed destroyed that weren't actually and then stripped for parts. A LOT of shady shit happened under the program.

Buying new is literally a scam unless money isn't an issue. Better to buy a like-new car that's less than 5 years old and save a good chunk of money.

Rightfully so. Toyota is the most American car company.

I looked into this. Can anyone expand how cash for clunkers is causing car prices to be higher.

Credit Cards my friend

Those cars are valued higher because of the export, they’re wearth more ion africa

I wanted a Toyota Tacoma and nobody gives used ones away, so I bought a new one. With most models buying new doesn't make sense, but only saving 1/3 and getting something a few years old with 100k miles didn't make much sense.

imagine being so absolutely poor that you think $2,500 for a car that runs and drives is a lot of $.

she had a nose job, hadn't she?

What happens when demand stays the same and supply is taken away user?

Someone has to buy new for your poor ass to buy used.
I do drive used, but no way my ftype-r is going to have someone's ass print when I pick it up.

>the Model T was not the Bentley of its time, rather a car for the average consumer.
Lol
The average consumer did not own a car

>shilling the truth

you can get used camrys and corollas for $2k all day in florida. OP's problem is he is a northcuck and everything rusts to shit

cash for clunkers was ages ago and only affected giant american shitheaps
