[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 22 points 2 years ago (2 children) I can barely afford the 2015 Subaru Crosstrek i bought back in July. Even 8 year old base model cars cost over $16,000 these days permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ripcord@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago But the topic here is new car prices. And presumably, all the people paying these stupid prices, getting 60+ month loans, only focusing on payments, etc. This has an impact on the user market as well. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Hard to find a decent manual in my area for sub-10, too. Lucked out on a 20-year old f150 with very little wrong with it for 4 grand, then another 4 grand to fix it up. Would've spend 7 grand on a Ranger with a machinegun rod knock. permalink fedilink source parent
