Naples Honda just quoted me $74,100 OTD for a 2023 R

They must be doing bath salts.

@Tickle Yeah it’s only a data point.

We know that most of our “news” these days lacks detail and nuance, so it requires people (who really want a comprehensive understanding) to deep dive. Not many will do that. In fact, most news sources are counting on this. It’s all done to maintain their partisan, not-fully-informed, readership. But anyway…

Another way to look at it is this : Because the economy is shaky (with mortgage foreclosures and auto loan defaults), lenders are more apprehensive to give out auto loans. As such, the auto industry has shifted production to focus on fewer (perhaps higher-end / higher margin) offerings to cater to those who can afford new vehicles (without the need for a loan or only require a partial loan).

You are correct... HOWEVER, the focus is intentional to serve the upper class... yet, cars are NOT a luxury item, and to get at least a decent car is at least 30k OTD...which is predicted to increase in 2024 along with yet-higher interest rates. the problem is that in our communities, a car is so often the only means to get to work, and a RELIABLE car is pretty mandatory.

You are correct. And this is what has driven up the prices of used cars. It wasn’t just that there was an overall shortage of new cars for sale, but there are many who simply need good, reliable, transportation at a reasonable price to get to work and take kids to school etc. So…actually, this sort of suggests that NEW cars are indeed becoming “luxury” items (given current economic circumstances). I saw somewhere that there are only like 5 cars available, new, for $20k or less! It’s crazy! Mid and lower income households are getting priced out of both the housing market AND the new car market.

Too many rich people with “idgaf” money here in South Florida.

I know personally of 3 that have sold for over 20k. 2 of them are currently parked beside GT3s and the other is parked beside an NC1 NSX

I can see that, just sucks that it ruins the chance for an average guy to get a cool car that they can daily and have some weekend fun with.

I remember the good ole days where you walk into a dealership and fight with the salesman to get the car below MSRP. Now it's the opposite to where you have to fight to get close back to MSRP ?

I am like wtf, you must be joking and hung up.

Man! You have no idea, we used to give MSRP all day and people would be like “Absolutely not, that’s not a good deal.” Oh how the tables have turned, now MSRP is everybody’s favorite acronym

Yeah, it really is wild. Brings to life the statement that yesterday's price is not today's price.
