Before you buy, check with your insurance provider about your new rates. People are finding out their rates increase sometimes by hundreds of dollars per month. Now they can't afford the coverage. DON'T SIGN THE BOTTOM LINE UNTIL YOU KNOW THE TOTAL COST. Monthly car payment and insurance payment.

This was a great video guys. You put together some fantastic content. I happened across one of your other videos last week, and have been, working through, some of your other videos since. I have been really impressed with everything I have seen so far. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Pay cash for a vehicle you can afford. Since lockdown and working from home I’ve been making car payments to myself. Just paid $17000 cash for a 2018 RAV4. I’ll continue to do so at a lower rate since I will have this one for at least 10 years.

To add to your Used car comments. In 2016 I was in the market for a VW Touareg, specifically the TDI. As it was the last time you could purchase. Dealers were asking over 60k . I purchased the 2017 Wolfsburg gas and extremely happy. But just came across a 2016 Touareg TDI LUX, 70k miles on it asking $17,000 ! Not bad.

Just purchased a 2024 telluride s at msrp. I'm content with the price at 38k, added a warranty for 2k, 40k out the door which seems pretty better compared to other regional best prices (was priced 42k before additions at other dealerships)

My wife's 2014 Cmax Energi was losing battery. Carmax gave us $5400 for it. Found CPO Lexus ES 300h, Luxury trim, with 28,000 miles for $34,300. Happy with that. My 2014 Camry hybrid still going strong with 230,000 miles.

Ray & Zach the dynamic car buying duo 😎🎯

I bought my first new van, a Ford Econoline, 150 in 1977, when they first released the 1978 models.. six cylinder, three speed manual on the column, a box, with two seats, no power windows, no air-conditioning, no cruise control. I only needed a van for getting my racebike’s to the racetrack, and a vehicle that I could sleep in at the track overnight… It was perfect for that although I swore I would never buy another vehicle without air-conditioning again.. I had that truck for 31 years. When I sold it to a Buyer that only needed the engine., It drove away.. I did spray it with 50 weight new not used motor oil underneath to prevent or slow down rushed here in Pennsylvania where they salt roads in the winter.. I had a job where I could use public transportation to, and from work, and I commuted by motorcycle in the warmer months of the year for about eight months of the year. So it did shit a lot and we would use my wife’s car mostly, because I stored all of the dirt, bikes and equipment and gasoline in the van most of the time. I do keep vehicles for a long, long time. My wife’s last car was nine years old when we sold it, my current ram, 1500 Big Horn, 4 x 4, with the hemi, is a 17, which I spent five days rustproofing with fluid film. so far so good, my truck only has something like 16,000 miles on it, because we use my wife’s car for all the running around, and we are both retired now, and I don’t lend my truck out.. we will see how many years I have this truck. It has been perfect so far, the only thing I have had to do it besides oil and filters, is, put air in the tires when the weather gets cold and replace the windshield wiper blades. I have the annual rust proofing inspection videos on my KZread channel of my truck to show how well it is holding up here in salty Pennsylvania. One thing I do like about the new vehicles is the fact that they come with stainless exhaust systems. I did have to replace exhaust pipes and mufflers on my 1978 Ford van it seemed like every four or five years they would need replaced..

I love how data driven this channel is. Bar none one of the best car KZread channels

My Subaru dealership never raised the price over sticker during the Covid era. My Honda dealership has a side sticker of $7K for junk they added. Goodbye to those dealerships which piled-on side-stickers prices. I will go with Subaru. I do have a KIA dealership not so far away, but they cannot match Subaru in safety, and the reliability I have doubts on. Looks like many recalls on those I was considering at KIA. Ouch! Some good styling. The warranty sounds good. Not having to use the warranty however is priceless.

The cars is solid and quiet enough, but filled with gadgets. Sure I can turn off most, but I am not liking all the nanny tech. The tug on the steering wheel, having to turn off the auto-stop/start every time. The seats are good, but the back cushion I prefer on the car I have. Also realize the advantage of sitting high, just might not be my cup o' tea, as I like the old style more down to road level. I think my Fusion, with a 2.5 lt engine gets a little better MPG too than an Outback -- don't really need AWD all that much on the coast of Calif. I might look at KIA, as they are local, and see what the Seltos ride is like. The turbo is quick. At times I want my Accord V6 back. Loved how a V6 or V8 just drives without having to be maxed out on the gas peddle. And when mashed, the Honda V6 made wonderful engine sounds. Today we have four cylinders and mostly tall boxy SUV. The world has gone to....

Somehow, our local carmax messed up or finally figured out they gotta lower prices. We just picked up a 3 year old fully loaded rubicon 4 door, 30k miles, you can tell it was cared for, no undercarriage damage from offroad use. Sold it to us for 1500 under the LOWEST Blue Book value for Good condition. I've never seen them sell for less than max blue book in Very Good Condition. Best otd offers from local dealer was... 70k. In fact, used models at local dodge dealers, with no options, ie sound, towing, and lack of leather seats, same mileage and appx year going for 2k more or worse.

must be a different market because in US 6 month old cars dont depreciate at that rate. Typically difference is so small that purchasing a brand new car with much lower APR, costs less than buying a 6-12 month old used version. If youre paying cash, its a different ball game - but if you have 50k to plop out for a new car, then youre likely wanting a brand new vehicle as well

Any recommendations on a used EV?

Hey guys I don't know if you'll answer but I found this video because I've been looking into APR numbers and it seems that financing a NEW Corolla would be the same as financing a used 2020-21 one because the APRs would jump from around 5% to 10-12%, and interests would bulk up to eliminate any savings for getting an used car (Toyotas don't depreciate that much). Have you run those numbers? I do not know who to ask

Decision here is very simple: 1) There is hardly any difference between a new car and a newer used car. 2) Every used car has a secret. It is the reason why it is being sold. No one gets rid of reliable, dependable car. You don't want to be the one to find this secret out. I work on cars. I used to buy used cars and I know people that bought used cars. EVERY one of them had an issue or 50. If you don't want headaches, buy new Japanese car. Plus you'll have a warranty and a piece of mind.

Do you recomend a used kia morning 2021 1.2 automatic?

How much should a pdi on a used truck be

I went to Infinity last month and they wouldn't budge on price, so I went to Lexus and got a great price.

I just went in Hyundai for a used ioniq 5 SE for $29,999 with only 10k miles on it, and the OTD was $38k. They took out the package (4k), so it went down to $34k. Seems good, but they didn't have an invoice due to it being the owner of the lot's car (they should still have some invoice, but I guess not?).The car value was $22k. If i had signed that deal, I would be in $12k+ in negative equity. I told them we can start near the value price so i said $23k, or im not doing the deal. I didnt even get to the california ev rebate ($7,500) lol. They didnt like me at all!

Can you guys update your opinion on buying cars with cash??? 3 yrs ago you said "dont do it" has that recommendation changed? credit rates are really high

My issue with used cars at this point in time is that they are overpriced. Secondly the newer ones seem to be from rental companies. #3 the number of repos has risen drastically and we know those owners most likely did not maintain these vehicles near the end of their possession. #4 I think potential buyers should research recalls and overall quality e.g. I would have to be getting 60% off MSRP before buying a dodge Chrysler or Jeep product

I am beginning to see a trend of all sales people trying to convince buyers that outrageously priced ,poorly made vehicles are a great thing to jump into for the next ,,,,years of your life. Dealers and agents here are trying the same old tired wore out ,we are family, we are here for you, you won’t believe the deals we have. etc,etc,. When I see a new purchase going down the road I count my blessings it’s not our signature on that long term contract. If the warranty runs out before the payment book,run,don’t walk.

What do you mean "poorly made"? Compared to what? How do you define "poorly made"? You just "know this" or you have actual data. What does that even mean? Who defines "poorly"? You?

@@danielrn133I’d say look at the vehicles that stay in the shop all the time for the first 50,000 miles.

Lexus and Toyota have jacked their up on the Tacoma, 4Runner, Landcruiser and GX. (RE - not compared to the old Land Cruiser but to quality of the current Land Cruiser. It should be in the $40 - $50 range.)

Gave up trying to buy the new Corvette. By the time the prices came back down to sticker, the interest rate is prohibitive, even with 50% down. Instead, I'll spend the 30/40k to completely redo my 80s one. Without all the electronic crap that I don't need and costs a fortune to fix. Same with my 06 Mustang and F250.
