Is $25k affordable? How much are cars? 25k sounds like a fuckload of money.
$25K for a full electric car is the lowest price ever in the U.S.
I paid $21K for a used gasoline Honda Civic coupe just 2 years ago.
Chevy Bolt was under $25k before the $7500 credit. Now the same car is $40k.
Some people pay like $60-80k for those big trucks you see
Big bucks for big trucks?
I live in a shitty neighborhood. The amount of Audi, bmw, Porsche SUVs is crazy.
$25k is actually very affordable for what new cars go for. That was deemed affordable 10 years ago, so hitting that price point today is an even bigger deal.
How much do you think a new car costs?
about as much as a banana, Michael
So, what, I don't know, $10?
Affordable? No, not to many people's finances
Relatively cheap for a new car? Unfortunately
A tough combination in a country where having a car is essentially mandatory in all but a few cities
USD25K would buy you a sports spec Hyundai hatch, or a low spec 2wd SUV in Australia.
How much does a banana cost? $25,000?
