With an average U.S. new-vehicle selling price of just over $45,000 last month, many can’t afford to buy new — even though prices are down more than $2,000 from the peak in December of 2022, according to J.D. Power.

    I see this as a good thing. We are a wasteful culture.

      The average age of my vehicles is 23.8 years. If I remove the motorcycles the average age is 36 years, the oldest is 54. Am I winning? I just don’t like new cars.
