Nobody wants to or should afford 7% finance rates on a car.
I know my buddy bought a GT3 a few months back for $375k and now I am seeing GT3's the same as his selling for $325k... still massively expensive, but that's a pretty big drop. And no I have NOT mentioned it to him because I don't want to wipe the smile off his face lol | market is sinking weekly right now.
992 GT3 owners that paid over MSRP last summer (at its peak) is eating a dick on depreciation as we speak at a rate of almost 100k since 12 months ago (GT3). Its bricked alot.
Current automotive lending rates are 10% give or take on non subvented rates.

Do you think the fed + provincial luxury taxes on cars nowadays have slowed the depreciation curve compared to before?

I’m just thinking gen z kids are screwed. Covid fucked their education and homes are forever out of reach (pretty sure the last generation to be able to do this was/is the millennials) but now they won’t even be able to afford new cars.
Good luck children !

People done give a shit as long as their payment is something they think they can afford.

Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk | It gets me that the luxury tax surcharge in BC starts at 55k. It's been 55k since I started looking at 2006 IS350 when the 2GR-FSE came out. Back then you can get a loaded 3 series/IS350 out the door under the luxury tax.
You can't even get a minivan with select options out the door without hitting the threshold. I guess it's a luxury to buy a new car. Screw those parents who needs a van.

Messaged the guy about the Acura offering my GRC as trade bait. Quote: |
Awesome! Due to extremely high interest we are talking with interested parties by appointment in person. We are located at 20257 Langley Bypass. When would work best for you to pop by with your trade?
| Told him I was in Nanaimo and asked for a price. Quote: |
We are selling at MSRP plus accessories and warranty. The vehicle is going to whoever's build makes the most sense for us.
| Asked again for the price and what my trade in would be worth. Did not get a reply.

The most base model Odyssey I could spec, stretched over 7 years is still $815/mo. The Sequoia (which for some reason starts at the TRD Off Road?) is $1390/mo.

Good luck children ! | Last Gen to buy a home was millennial for sure. Most my friends have only 1 kid. Maybe 2 max.
Newer generations spend money like water. So good luck to them indeed.

i think the pandemic made people realize to live a little, even in workaholic societies taking weekend trips are up considerably
i can see why it's not motivating to save if ownership is out of reach anyways

If you weren't saving in your 20's, it's too late to start in your 30's with the way things are now. But some people are still choosing cars in their 30's, just more expensive ones than they did in their 20's.
