  • The BIGGEST CAR REPO CRISIS In US History Is Happening RIGHT NOW
    In this video, we're talking about how the negative equity crisis could destroy the economy. Dealers charged too much and banks allowed too many bad auto loans. Repos are spiking and people are looking for ways to get out of their car loans.
    My name is Brandon and I am a used car dealer. I created Car Questions Answered to share the ins and outs of the used car market from my perspective. I share with you updates on car prices, what's happening at the dealer auctions, and what it's like being a dealer. My goal is to share information to help you make the best decisions while buying a car to save you money. I do not want car dealers taking advantage of you.
    Thanks for watching and please feel free to leave any comments you may have in the section below!

      You think banks carry the auto loan? Aren't you cute. As long as you don't default in the month or so it takes to offload the loan on some investor the loan officer is happy. You must have missed the subprime mortgage mess.

      Jeremy…Home loans and auto loans are different. Aren’t you cute?!? Weird. Anyways yes home loans get sold off. You can get your home through Regions and 6 months later Wells Fargo is sending you a letter on how they now have your mortgage.
      I’ve owned/had auto loans on probably 15 vehicles in the past 26 years. Not one taken over by another bank or credit union. Only if I refinanced.

    I am 77 years old. When my dad bought a new car he financed cars for 24 months. About 1960 the 3 year loan became standard. In the 1990s the 48 and 60 months came on line.
    Now payments are like mortgage payments. This is not manageable. The decline in purchasing power is evident.

      Loans Beyond 60 months, create negative equity. To me it was shocking that anything beyond 48 months was ever offered. I've never bought a car that I didn't think I couldn't pay off in 4 years... and now I no longer borrow ANY money.

      Actually jeeps do hold their value pretty well compared to most vehicles, depending on which trim level your friend purchased. This car market is not normal, so that's why your friend got screwed. Normally, a lower trim level jeep stays around that lower cost.. but a rubicon that is purchased for 44k, usually loses value a lot slower. In a normal car market, that 44k rubicon could be 4-5yrs old, and be going for 37-38k. In that time frame, the car should have been paid off, and if needed, you would be able to sell it and handle a emergency or whatever. In this market... all of this is trash now.

We don't have those rates now, and lenders are being more picky about buyers. I don't know what the housing market is elsewhere, but I think whatever those situations are vary regionally. I'm in a rather high demand market here in East Tennessee. I know it's even hotter in Connecticut.

As long as I continue to maintain it, the car will easily go 300k with no major issues. I love not having a car payment. Only have liability insurance that I pay around $50 per month. It also has a manual 5 speed transmission, so it’s pretty much theft proof. I love my little Honda.

    The consumer has partly to blame. Worked for years in the automotive industry and I’ve told dozens upon dozens of customers that they have “champagne tastes on a beer budget.” The “get me dones” are the most stubborn. I’ve broken down the math while telling the buyer that if you take $60K divided into 60 months even without interest, the payment is $1,000+ a month. Meanwhile, he and his spouse are making $50K/yr jointly! By some chance we do a get a few approvals. The only thing we say is that it’s a “repo waiting to happen!” And the dealership once paid by the lender on a non-recourse contract keeps the wheels churning. Honestly, I don’t miss those dealership days.

    Learn live within your means. If we quit buying 100k trucks, the priced will come down. Lower demand means lower prices. If you quit playing stupid games, you will quit winning stupid prizes!!!!

All you younger millennials and gen Zers out there ought to listen to him and follow how he and his wife live their financial life. It will help you in the long run.

I never thought I would see the day that I couldn't afford a decent car or truck. Your videos are so awesome and your "words are hard" blooper segments make me laugh out loud . Thank you for bringing levity and insight to a subject that many find distressing. I'm fixing to buy my next ride from you!

      I think there is much more to what you see. All those hundreds of billions that Joe Biden is giving to the Grifter In Ucrane (yes I know I spelled it wrong deliberately to avoid YT)
      a LOT of that money is being laundered there and coming back to those supporting the democrat interests in the USA (those they want to vote for them in the next presidential election!)

      In the 70's I used to repo cars at night and drive for UPS during the day. One night we grabbed a new red Cadillac convertible. Next day I'm delivering a package to one of the businesses on my route and the owner was on the phone yelling at someone. I asked the secretary what was going on. She told me that his Cadillac was repoed last night and he was on the phone to the credit union raising hell. Then it hit me!! oooops.

    I like our Subaru but I use about 5% of the electronics I had to buy just to get the backup camera. This is a big part of the problem: far too much electronics most people neither need nor use but must pay for to get the few gadgets they actually want. Does anyone remember the old advert slogan: can we build one for you? Whatever happened to the promise of flexible manufacturing? As for all of the electronic safety features, I still see rear enders every trip on the parkways at rush hour or on a wet road. It's the Peltzman Effect in action.
