"do you really need that extra car?"

Pretty much exactly what im talking about. All that type of buying is going to disappear.

Selling and trading will also disappear.

I think the floor has been permanently raised. Old stuff (+20yrs) is all hitting classic prices. New stuff is just expensive. ADMs will go away, but MSRP is staying put.

My 2500 - what should it be priced at in a year?

An OBS is going for $10k+ because of nostalgia. A new 2500 is $60k.

In 2019 my '05 was a $10k truck easy. I paid $14k for it last year. Smoking dope if you think I'd sell it for $10k next year.

Couldn't disagree more. You comment assumes status quo remains as it pertains to individual or family wealth.

Most Americans are literally getting poorer by the day right now, that's a fact.

"Nostalgia" goes out the window when you have a 1998 k2500 sitting in your driveway because you literally cannot afford to drive it. And oh by the way, pulling $3000 by selling it will allow me to keep a roof over my head for a few more months considering ive already missed 2 house payments.

That time is coming... the question is when, not if.

@gimmie11s made an interesting comment on ARMs.

Really curious how many dumb MFers took out ARMs on their houses this time around.

I think with anything in this crazy time a correction will be done to both homes and cars. Free fall I'm not sold on but I also enjoy reading Wallstreetbets so I'm mentally retarded

Had a guy in my office 2 days ago telling me the payment on the 2nd he took out on his home for a room addition nearly doubled over the last few months.

This is a guy who makes $22/hr and he is shitting bricks begging for some overtime.

It is second mortgages that are carrying the adjustable rates. People cashing out on the inflated prices to buy xyz.

I guess people didn’t learn their lesson back in 08.

We bought our first home this past fall and our credit union was trying to push us on a ARM with a starting rate of 3.75. Said it was their best option and conventional was going to be 5.25% IIRC. I don't know much about mortgages as this is our first but I knew those numbers did not sound very fair to me. Ended up at 2.95 which seemed pretty fair for us. I know others have got better than that.

Been saying it for a few months.

The "inventory is low" phenomena completely disappears when people stop buying cars and houses because their money now needs to be focused on paying their adjustable rate on their 2nd that just doubled.... or their fuel bill that rose by $400 per month, or their grocery bill that rose by $300 per month.
You are giving the average American way to much credit. Way too much.

Heating bills and food costs take the back seat to something like conspicuous consumption for simps.

Believe it or not, not every American makes $200k per year (sarcasm). Millions of people are finding their financial situations completely changing. We will be in a full on recession as the country stops consuming. I think it's going to be shocking to be honest.

The empty car lots are going to be magically full soon enough.
I'll agree with that.
