    Do people not just buy cars they can afford anymore? When I grew up I didn’t know anyone that was taking out a loan for a car.

        Unlike houses I am not sure if cars have increase as much though. You can even find a Nissan leaf dropping below £5k last I checked.

          I don’t know a single car available near me that isn’t a complete junker and is under $10,000. I also don’t know anyone with $5,000 on hand to drop on Anything. I barely even know anyone with $1,000 to drop on anything. Americans don’t have money for anything, we are buying Groceries using loans at this point. That is not a joke, people are buying essential groceries using Pay Later Loans.
