There are still sedans out there that can be gotten for a lot less, people have really been over spending on these large SUVs to make the average price $48K. Get a ~$30K sedan instead, you can get a Honda Civic for under $30K or a number of other cars.
Now obviously that’s still out of reach for a ton of people, but it just seems weird to say “can’t afford a new car” and then picking something for $48K.
This is such a big point, everyone bitching they can’t afford new stuff, my car is from 2001 and it’s the newest car I’ve ever owned. I keep it well maintained and working. My phone is from 2018, same thing don’t need a $1500 iPhone. We’re a huge consumption based society and we created it with our constant need for shiny new things.
Yes, this rubbed me the wrong way. The average person can’t afford a “reasonable” 2 door Wrangler Rubicon.
Miss me with that shit.
Reasonable would have been a Mazda 3 Hatchback for half the price, and 30% better fuel mileage. Don’t like Mazda for some reason? Fine, how about Corolla, Civic HB, Impreza, Elantra, Golf, Forte?
Shit, need a mid size? For a bit more you’ve got the Camry, Accord , Sonata, K5.

Just throwing it out there: There’s only one new car sold in the US below 20k. The Mitsubishi Mirage.
Kia Soul - 19.9
Kia Rio - 16.75
Kia Forte - 19.79
Hyundai venue - 19.65
Nissan Versa - 16.925
I bought my car for 5k 12 years ago. As long as the wheels go round, I don’t need a new one. It’s so much wasted money on unnecessary consumption.
