Is $25k affordable? How much are cars? 25k sounds like a fuckload of money.

For a new car? $25k is a pretty low price, at least in the US. My car was $24k new 10 years ago. It wasn’t particularly special then.

Supposedly my 2016 Corolla was 25k I think. But after all the fees and taxes and shit I feel like it was closer to 30k. All I know for real was that it was about $10/day for 7 years.

$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.

The trick is, luxury cars drop in value insanely fast. A 2 year old Audi is often about the same price as a new Honda. The problem these people don’t account for is maintenance costs. They think they are getting a deal, then they are getting dragged down by an unreliable vehicle that they can’t afford to fix.

$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.

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.
