The fact that a 30k car is the benchmark for affordable is insane

Haven’t bought a new car recently have you?

Dealerships charging insane prices doesn't make slightly less insane "affordable"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Most dealers aren't charging insane markups these days. 2022 was the peak of that.

Some areas dealers still charge markups, but most are MSRP or less. Hell the "employee pricing" stuff has been HUGE lately charging ~invoice.

At least where I am, it is illegal for dealers to sell above MSRP.
