Car manufacturers have been living way past their means for some time off of increasingly long finance terms and for way too expensive cars/pickups no one wants.

There's only so long you can do that before the bubble bursts and you kill demand.

I do hope people consider cost of maintenance when purchasing a car. If I have to rip the front bumper off to swap out a lightbulb, then I don’t want it.

I was born the 60s, my parents never bought a new car until the late 80s. Looks like we're going back to those days


But used car prices are goofy

Didn’t realize the common sense makes it sanctimonious. Besides them doing that is jacking up the prices for all of us. You should be upset about it too. If anyone is being sanctimonious it’s you.
