Summary
Car prices have skyrocketed—now averaging over $51,000, up from $34,000 just a decade ago. Bigger trucks, fancy tech, and luxury features are driving the surge, while discounts bring the real cost down to around $49,000. Monthly payments hit $767 with interest near 9%, making new cars a financial strain. Many drivers are delaying purchases, opting for repairs or used cars priced between $25,000 and $30,000. With fewer new cars under $30,000 available, the cost of driving has never felt so steep. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
