You can get a beaten-to-hell 2004 Buick LeSabre for $2.5k on Facebook Marketplace, dump about $1.5k in suspension, transmission, and engine parts into it, and have a grandma car that will last you around 150,000 more miles with proper maintenance. It's like the AmeriKKKan Camry/Avalon. Just don't put too much shit on your keychain, or those shitty GM lock cylinders will shut off your car at random.
what the fuck, I thought at least cars were affordable in the US.
I live in europe and my (used) car from 2010 cost me $4k and required zero additional maintenance, it just works perfectly and has been for over a year now, and is comfortable as shit too. And if I lived in the city, I wouldn't even need a car bc transit is fine in most places here
Nope,
fucked us pretty hard with the Cash For Clunkers program, which took a lot of viable used vehicles off the market. This was ostensibly to shore up emissions and fuel economy standards, but in practice it was just yet another classic Democrat "fuck the poor" measure. Couple this with manufacturers going way downhill since 2010 or so, and you get the inflated prices that we've been seeing ever since then, not to mention the vehicle shortage absurdity that happened during COVID lockdowns.
