These are astounding numbers to me. I didn’t check these numbers too throughly but they’re close in several places. Some automakers don’t even make $40k+ cars. I’ll probably be making some detrimental assumptions here, but that’s ok since I’m not a statistics person. 2 cars per household equates to one years salary for cars and $10,000 down payment per car.
This is insane to me. That’s way too much. It’s a car. It takes a couple people from A to B. I’m looking for a car and am trying to stay around 25k INCLUDING my illogical creature comfort/ fancy tech desires. I mean… how many folks actually need 3 rows, or a truck, semi-aniline leather, etc.? Do I need to shop for a Mercedes instead of a Hyundai?
Edit: see attached pic. That’s interesting and I’m sure someone can correlate some value to it.
