Supposedly my 2016 Corolla was 25k I think. But after all the fees and taxes and shit I feel like it was closer to 30k. All I know for real was that it was about $10/day for 7 years.
$25k is actually very affordable for what new cars go for. That was deemed affordable 10 years ago, so hitting that price point today is an even bigger deal.
The trick is, luxury cars drop in value insanely fast. A 2 year old Audi is often about the same price as a new Honda. The problem these people don’t account for is maintenance costs. They think they are getting a deal, then they are getting dragged down by an unreliable vehicle that they can’t afford to fix.

If memory serves, the outliers here are Lexus and Audi which both score high on reliability ratings. I could be wrong though, is been a couple of years since I looked into owning a car.

For a new car? $25k is a pretty low price, at least in the US. My car was $24k new 10 years ago. It wasn’t particularly special then.

$25K for a full electric car is the lowest price ever in the U.S.
I paid $21K for a used gasoline Honda Civic coupe just 2 years ago.
Chevy Bolt was under $25k before the $7500 credit. Now the same car is $40k.

How much do you think a new car costs?
about as much as a banana, Michael
So, what, I don’t know, $10?
Go see a Star War.
Some people pay like $60-80k for those big trucks you see
I live in a shitty neighborhood. The amount of Audi, bmw, Porsche SUVs is crazy.

Big bucks for big trucks?
