The AVERAGE fleet age in the US is 11+ yrs old now, and getting older fast.
Company trucks must be replaced, but without credit-criminal financing, like what Ally has been doing for 4 years, most average folks are keeping cars MUCH longer than in the past.
Sorry, there is no way in h*ll I can justify spending $45G’s for a new sedan, when my older car runs just fine.
We have finally reached the point where even engine replacements on older cars are more cost effective than buying new.
Ours was 11 yrs old with 187k miles, didn’t trust its continued use and wasn’t worth any major $ being put into it. Bought a used murano will drive it to the 200k frame as well. New cars are just way over priced.
Must be time for “cash for clunkers”
Thanks for answering my question above re the high costs and lack of sales to anyone with half of a brain as Rush would say.
