I suspect he believes he’ll be getting a pardon next year.

It amazes me how many attorneys seem to be willing to go down with the MAGA ship. Federal judges are rather notorious for having absolutely no sense of humor at all. 

Probably one of the saddest, most pathetic, falls from grace there has been. He probably burned more goodwill than anyone, from one of the ultimate 9/11 icons to a pathetic washed up has been.

That’s exactly what he deserves...

When was there ever a time when someone at the literal poverty line could afford a new car? This doesn’t seem like a revelation at all, does it? Don’t they say the rule of thumb is 30% of income on housing and 10-15% on vehicle? So someone making $16k that would be a $133/mo car loan, aka a $7,000 car. Brand new cars…

For this to matter you first need to be able to afford a $24k car.

Did this need to be a comment?

I think there are more factors. Income now/then, groceries, rent/mortgage. And most of us didn’t have a cell phone, internet bill.

Why not both sides?

I agree, and this should be mandatory: 

“Consumers who make below $16,000 per year are now completely priced out of buying a new car,”

Re New Car Prices: I think we are making a lot of apples to oranges comparisons.

1st Gear: jokes on you! I could never afford to buy a new car! Ha!

Im eyeballing in about 3-4years maybe snagging a ioniq5 if I can find a cheaper one for sure.

someone buying a 74k+ car... would they really notice a grand here or there?

If you want a GM EV that isn’t a pickup truck, get the Lyriq. The incentives are still insane, especially if you lease.

I got into a Cadillac Lyriq lease in May, MSRP was a hair over $65k. I ended up with a Sport 1 AWD that was a loaner, so they knocked off $5k from the MSRP. Before even mentioning whether I was leasing or buying we worked out incenvtives, all applied at point of sale, as follows. $2k Customer Cash, $3k Conquest…

Agreed. They’re making so many crazy lease deals right now just to move metal that the glut of off-lease inventory is going to be insane in just 1-2 years. Just wait until the off-lease deals come rolling in. I got my Ioniq Electric from an off-lease sale that with just 10k miles and less than half the MSRP, and that…

no discount is going to balance out the current EV depreciation curve... If you want one of these, just wait till year 2 or 3. 

Damp carpets can be a sign of flood damage? So is mud inside the car. Got it!

Thank you Carmax.
