There's someone out there paying a $70, 000 loan when their car is worth only $30, 000 lol.

"They're gonna say it's highway miles"

His car guy instinct kicked in lol

The other thing people forget, and especially when it comes to high-end cars like the Maybach, is that servicing and maintenance costs do not depreciate.

Hey guys, here is a suggestion for future videos like this one.

Let these guys write down the price on a paper and after a countdown they have to show it to the camera. This way no ones answer is influenced by the person before.

Sandro a real one for calling out that hideous EV "Mustang"

[KingLarbear]

There was no cyber truck in this episode and i watched it for nothing because it was on the thumbnail. Way to get me

[Toastinfingers]

87% depreciation in 20 years? Sounds pretty normal to me

[T.O.D.G]

“Who’s going to buy this?” “Idk some freak” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Guys, i don’t knowabout every state in the US, but here in Canada, government gives cash incentives for buying an electric car, and they give them once only for a car. Meaning, let’s say you bought a Tesla model 3 here in Quebec for 55k Canadian, you will get 5k slashed from the price as a federal incentive, then another 7k cash within a month from Quebec as a province. Meaning you paid 43k+taxes for the car.
When you sell it next year for instance, the price will drop from 43k, not the 55, because the buyer knows that you took the incentives, and he won’t get any himself for buying a 1years old car, so your price better be less than 43k, or he is better with a new one.
So you must take that into consideration in the price drop, even if you don’t have incentives in your state, the market is flooded with cars from other states and Canada

I can't explain how much I love the shotgun cocking sound everytime Nolan readjusts his glasses

Happy to see the deprecation. Happens to every new car really. Crazy mark ups and then the acutal real worth shows after the hype dies

[wesleygreen]

Sandro literally brought the hair for this game! Pimpin……..

I was talking to a buddy who works in accounting at carvana and he was saying that what we are seeing now was expected in the industry.
No new cars, ICE or EV, are selling well right now. The prices are too high and the mark ups are too much. However, when sales reports are released, they only report new car sales, which is why EVs look like they are tanking. That is because they are overpriced, but ICEs are doing just as poorly because they are also overpriced.
The major cause of the decrease in EV sales is that mass adoption has finally created a used market that didn't exist before. He was saying that carvana is the #1 seller of used EV in the country, and they are selling more than ever before. He was saying that instead of looking at release sales metrics, look at adoption rates to get a better picture. More people are driving evs than ever before, so the adoption rate is going up even though new car sales are going down. They just aren't buying new.
Moral of the story, people are willing to spend $15k - $40k on a car, EV or ICE, not $50k - $75k.

[jamdoodles]

What this says is those of us who were saying "there needs to be a $25k EV before most normal people will think about buying them" three years ago were right

[diltzm]

Chevy really fucked up when they discontinued the Volt. Gas or diesel electric hybrids are definitely the way to go until we can come up with a better battery chemistry than what we currently have.

*shows a coda
"no one of you is gonna know this car"
aging wheels viewers: "allow me to introduce ourselves"

[Me-exuberant]

Sandro be making waves on the channels fr

[pdlpwr]

I had a dealership tell me an 8, 000 markup just wasn't enough profit for them! What??!!

[blueman]

I have never seen a Ford Lightning on a dealer lot at $41, 769. They've all been 90K+. I remember when I was picking up my Bronco in 2021 the dealership had one on the lot that they wanted $110, 000 for.
