The average transaction price for new cars has surpassed $50,000, leaving many wondering if it's worth the splurge. In this episode, our guest Ray Shefska, co-founder of CarEdge, shares his expertise on the psychology of numbers when it comes to buying a car and the factors driving the increasing prices. Ray breaks down the current market trends, explaining how the pandemic-induced chip shortage led to manufacturers prioritizing high-profit vehicles. As a result, the average asking price for new cars continues to rise, making it harder for buyers to find deals. He also discusses the pros and cons of buying new versus used cars, highlighting the importance of considering factors like brand availability and dealership incentives. When it comes to buying a car, timing is everything. Ray advises listeners to avoid making impulsive decisions, especially when desperate, and to explore options like dealership courtesy vehicles or service loaner vehicles, which can offer significant savings. He also emphasizes the need to negotiate the out-the-door price and not just focus on monthly payments. If you're in the market for a new car, this episode is a must-listen. Ray shares valuable insights and practical tips to help you navigate the complex car-buying process.
