Thread: Average New Car Price Rises to $28,000

  1. #1

    Default Average New Car Price Rises to $28,000

    The average price of a typical family vehicle rose 6 percent over last year, to $27,958.



    That seems so... high! It must be because of all the Exploders and Tahoes people are buying. I've always wondered why people are OK dropping $35,000 on an Exploder, but think that someone who pays $38,000 for a 3-Series is crazy/decadent. Maybe because you get more metal for your money with an SUV?

    In any event, I'm still a little amazed that the average price is nudging $28,000.

    What's even more frightening is to realize that a significant percentage of new car buyers are also rolling thousands of dollars of negative equity into that new car purchase.

    I would imagine that's the price people are actually paying. Jeez. That means all those V6 Accords, Miatas, Mustang GTs, and Mazda 6s are actually below the average price of a new car. Terrifying.
