Eventually people have to buy newer used cars with CVT transmission which generally last only 100,000 miles. Car makes switch from auto transmission to CVT transmission so people have to buy a car every 100K or 10 year. They don't want cars last forever.
Here in PA we have a bus system, even in most rural areas. That's my plan. Call them they come right to the door for seniors over 65 ( call ahead to arrange). 75 cents. Doctor appt, hospital for tests, Walmart, Aldi, Tops, Shurfine, banks, etc. That's my plan. Usually called "Transit Authority of _________County". You may have to arrange ahead, but we can do that! Screw these dealers.
There are many that will, so they can have a new car to show off. For comparison, if you notice, how many people buy the new Apple product when it is released.
I have no pity for dealerships. They took advantage of people from 2020-2023 and didn't blink twice. You didn't want to pay the market adjustment, too bad. They showed you the door. Now the buyers are showing them the door.
problem is even at 75k that truck would still be outrageously over-priced....that 100k everyday looking silverado should be 50k TOPS and i STILL wouldn't pay that.
I don’t get the business logic behind dealers adding lift kits & wheel packages and expecting someone to pay $20,30k above MSRP. The truck at $70k is already expensive but expecting someone pay 90 something for it knowing that a tuner shop can get it done for way cheaper is a foolish business strategy.
They wont lower prices because they know the taxpayers will be bailing them out when they cry to congress. Besides, people keep paying the high prices.
Why can’t the big 4 (Chevy,ford,ram,Toyota) sale direct to the public like Tesla? If we changed that, it would put an end to a lot of this nonsense. Dealerships hate their reputation, but live up to it daily.
In 1979 I bought a GMC sierra K15 for $10,000 brand new. It had AC, power door locks, 2 gas tanks, crash plates and a whole bunch of other features. In essence it was fully loaded. This Sierra is, what, 10 times the price. Can someone explain that to me???
I'm sticking with my two plastic Saturn "S" series (both stickshift) for another 10-15 years. And I hate to say this, but when I do buy another car, it'll be Korean or Japanese. Too many quality problems, unwanted electronics and high prices with ALL domestics.
the ancira dealership at san antonio texas they sell silverados with over 15k discount under 40k for low trims and 50k for high trims, really good in my opinion i get mine rst 4x4 5.3 engine for 50k with 0% APR for 3 years

Awhile back, I purchased a brand new 2007 GMC Yukon Denali for $41K and in 2012, received $31K trade in value with 68K miles. I think Kia’s and Hyundai are now over $40K
This is insane. LOVE American cars, but let's be real here... A TOP TRIM Lexus RX 350 Luxury costs 64k. I would rather pay a little more for a real Luxury car than the Traverse. Absolutely Insane Chevy is trying to reach into Luxury territory with their prices!!
56k for that traverse? That ride wouldn’t be worth barely 30k, five minutes after leaving lot..56 is what a loaded truck should be and that traverse should be 36k….good luck dealers you gonna need it, people are done with these prices….u used to only be under water a few grand at most not long ago…now it’s 20,000 plus…no way.
$6k in bumpers, $3k in suspension and $3k in aftermarket rims. Add in labor, yeah $15k markup is legit. Total cost, crazy !!! My dad just got a Zr1 trailboss $43k cash. So there are deals out there, if you take the time to research and willingness to travel.
The main car manufacturers have belatedly woken up to the 'luxury handbag' market. Make your product in the same factory as the econo handbag, with the same quality but, just jack the price, someone, if not many will desire that product. Not sure what Jeep is thinking, but bankruptcy might be one thought, which is a good thing for absolute rubbish.
What i dont understand about these add on packaging is they charge you full price plus the add ons..but the original parts (wheels,tires,bumpers) are all gone so you get charged for both sets of wheels,tires,bumpers, etc
Here is a game changer for all car dealers. Sell it first then pay the car manufacturers for every sale without borrowing money from the bank to stock up inventory.
Hold tight everyone. These car companies and dealers MUST make money to say open. Once these damn trucks will collect dust, all hell will come down and we're all enjoy that fruit. I am waiting nicely.
I would think most new tech coming out is usually a lose until manufacturing can be refined to make it profitable. Evs for GM is just that. The 43k equinox is now slightly above the price of the average car price.
I don't think banks are financing over MSRP anymore because of all the repos. The reason that the truck does not sell is that people have to put $15,000 more down because Banks are not in the business of financing air anymore.
My local chevy tried to sell me a truck before they had the title and then after they got the title they asked me to come down there for a test drive and when I got down there and waited for an hour they said it didn't pass inspection, trying to sell vehicles they haven't even looked at first....
With EV you get 7,500 off from feds not including state incentives and dealer discounts cause they dont sell. Thats part of why the resale is low cause people legit get 10k off their EV from the dealer.
When I go to the hardware store $5 for a bag of cow manure is a good price. 💩👍🏻 But when I see the same bag for $15, it’s a hard pass. 👎🏻 - with that in mind - General Motors, nobody wants to overpay for your shit. 💩💩
Equinox do come with the $7500 federal rebate taken at purchase time, which is nice. Plus I'm sure there's a CCS-2 charger 150 miles away in any direction you wish to drive. Granted, gas is dirt cheap in OK so maybe electric doesn't make the most sense in your area. For me, I love charging up on home solar for free. Feels like the future. Plus my Model Y has the same 0 to 60 as an Audi S5 but $20,000 cheaper. Doesn't look as nice though, alas.
I refuse to pay these ridiculous prices! I'll buy used and drive it till it stops and then scrap it. No EV's either, sell what I want or go out of business! 😂
American made vehicles priced as luxury vehicles oh yeah I saw an Escalade, you thought the Tahoe was expensive, $122,890.55 it was a short wheel base, had black package on black Cadillac Escalade, down the street land Rover had $108,000.00 Range Rover looked way more premium over that Escalade, inflation is a mess no vehicle will sell, manufactures and dealerships have truly lost their minds
If GM produced a smallish truck with minimum option availability and equipped with roll up windows, no cruise, A/C optional non-electronic transmission, 4-cylinder engine and AM-FM radio and price it at $25,000, they’d sell millions of them
Dealership gave me one of those trucks as a loaner a month ago fun to drive but by no means is it even close to worth the price tag unless u just have money to throw away
Brother I just bought me a 2020 Trailboss with 50k miles on it for 35k at my local Dealership, I can upgrade it and make it better than this white ZR2 for about 10-15k, with a total of around 45-50k, just saved me 25k and I will have a way better truck in the end
95k for a silverado...100k+ out the door....unless you make 500k a year i can't even see why ANYONE would spend 100k on a vehicle....and if i had 100k to spend on a vehicle it sure as hell wouldn't be a silverado....i honestly can't even think of vehicle i want that is over 50k...of course i always buy a couple years old with around 20k miles at carmax and save TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars over a new model and get the same vehicle that is still basically brand new.
I want a new truck at4 6.2 motor but I’m not going to even think about it until GM drops there price by at least 50k not going to pay all that inflated money
Not only Chevrolet, Chrysler and Ford are smoking dope as well. But I mean… what worse people are actually paying these prices then getting repo’d a few months later 😂
In CA by 2035 all cars and trucks and commercial vehicles will have to electric I wonder how many people will just cars and trucks out of state or just buy older gas vehicles?
It is indeed strange. Dealers charge as much as the market will bear. So as long as there are buyers these videos are just bitch sessions. The old saying is, "A fool and his money are soon parted". Better to invest in the popular Trump's coins, sneakers, NFT's, bibles, and watches.
We own our vehicles outright paid for got the titles in the file. When something breaks we get it fixed even if it's a rust issue we get it fixed they run and drive like they did when they're new we are not spending more than what we paid for the house
It's really disgusting if you really take one minute and sit down in a quiet place and look at all the things folks need and use in everyday life,or survival may be a better term, This Country has become so greedy and selfish. Our so called government allows prices on every single thing we need to be 300% or more than their worth It's shameful it really is.
I would not even think about buying a new car nowadays. Such a rip off. Ill stick to older cash cars and deal with repairs and upkeep.
Much cheaper in the long run. Wise choice. I’m doing the same.

Well almost a year on the lot, nobody is buying.
After sitting so long, will it ever start now?😂
You just won 🏆 the stupidest comment award on the internet. Enjoy.
Over here we have people talking about 1,000 dollar payments like a status symbol.
Almost 100k for something that looks 25k with a bland design.
a year of lot rot should make that truck a used car and get 25% off. It would be in better shape had it sat inside someone’s garage for a year.

wheel and lift kits are major CASH$$$$$COWS to dealers (if they can find the sucker to buy them)
No one should pay premium price for Generic Motors.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how people for one getting approved or paying these high payments!

Putting down their life savings on down payments
We DONT want EV. Nor do we want 100k Silverados.

I wonder what the dealership paid for a MSRP of $94k.
There's a profit margin of 2%-4% on that new truck, so most dealers add a bunch of packages at extra cost to raise the profit margin.
$2,500- We made sure it has oxygen in it
Buy used. Buy tools, learn to wrench. It’s not hard, have to be willing.
