Hearted Youtube comments on Rev Nation (@revnation_auto) channel.

  1. The problem began during the pandemic, when the foolish consumer was willing and eager to pay as much as 25% above MSRP, and the auto manufacturers and dealerships took note. The manufacturers and dealerships got fat during the pandemic, screwing over the foolish consumer, now sales are down post pandemic and dealerships wonder why.

  2. My dumbass neighbor bought two new Jeep SUV’s
    64
  3. They are doing what any good private equity firm would do. Slash costs, fire people, give themselves raises, run the company into the ground sucking every bit of revenue from it, only to sell it piece by machine, building, lot piece and keep the money. That layered incompetence is criminal

  4. The only thing missing: tumbleweeds blowing across the empty parking lot, with buzzards circling over head.

  5. After some of the problems I've had with shops, I ain't gonna let no one touch my car anymore.

  6. How does the Average guy afford these trucks /cars. A 91 K truck .... plus interest ..... My house 20 years was 140K and I honestly thought I paid too much for it.... Borrowed 10k from my Line of Credit for down payment ....It is worth 400k in today's market and I pay 750 month in mortage so why sell and pay 2000 plus plus to rent an apartment ... add on groceries ... today took my small basket in filled it up ..almost 100 dollars ... as a 75 year old man in Canada I actually thought I was middle class a few years ago and like many folks Struggling to get by on my pension. I TRULY would be OK if my house was valued at say 170K today if other folks could afford cars /trucks and be able to buy a home .... I think our world is going to shit and it will get worse .... just an old man of 75 worthless opinion .... Love from Canada to our neighbours .... Roy

  7. Those Stealerships deserve it by jacking up their prices (Mark Ups)

  8. I got my base model 2024 frontier with the utility package and technology package for 38k OTD at 2.9% APR
    53
  9. My very wealthy lawyer father said “a car is nothing but transportation.” One of the most modest men I ever met. It makes me proud when I am working on my 2002 Ram 1500 quad cab with rebuilt motor and tranny with dual magnum exhaust, new brakes, radio, speakers my friend sold me for $2500. As a homeless disabled veteran, that’s the top of my range. Got my Motorpower OBD2 scanner today $25 delivered from Amazon. Only threw a couple codes.

  10. i have done this for years and I too caught a shop one I mark oil file too
    51
  11. Still love my Giulia quadrifoglio. I have an independent mechanic that is doing all the maintenance. No reason to go back to the dealer. this independent does everything from Ferraris to McLaren so I think I’ll be fine. Six years in and no problems. 40,000 miles. Although the maintenance is very expensive.

  12. I agree with you price is 25% to 30% overpriced on every manufacturer really. Folks have to stop paying these prices or they won't drop the prices. STOP BUYING GUYS!!!!!

  13. Even if money was no object, I would not spend $100K on any vehicle. Insane!
    48
  14. Most of these never go off road.

  15. Start bringing ballons and birthday cards to the dealships for the cars that have been there for over a year. That will make the salesman laugh.
    47
  16. The 4 cylinder Toyota trucks used to be the cheapest ones on the lot. Now look at them, absolutely ridiculous
    46
  17. Excellent commentary with this video. That additional toilet paper side stick, the sales manager stuck on, is typical thieves at work.
    46
  18. The banks are at fault too because the truck is not worth the extra 5K in mark ups. So if they give the loan that is instant negative equity right off the bat on top of all the other negitive equity from driving off the lot with a brand new truck.

  19. I paid $40,000 for my 2023 Tacoma TRD offroad in December. Can't believe the prices for the 2024 models.
    46
  20. These Tacoma's remind me of plastic model kits I used to buy when I was a kid, they never looked right and the pieces just didn't blend together. These trucks look cheap, the old Tacomas looked like quality.
    46
  21. I'm picking up my new pro x in the morning. It's easy to see why they are leading. Simple and on the cheaper end of smaller trucks.
    45
  22. Toyota is pricing themselves out of Tacoma customers.
    45
  23. There isn’t a single vehicle that is worth 1/3 the asking price. All overpriced junk.
    45
  24. Prices too high. I make $100k a year and can’t afford a decent spec Ranger or any truck. Crazy these are even selling given the average and median American household incomes.
    44
  25. Its not just the initial costs of tools, its the fact that you often need to update and purchase speciality tools on a regular basis to equal or beat flat rate time. Shops don't provide enough tools (imho) for techs to be efficient at their jobs. If your shop does a fair amount of AC work, you might have two machines. But often times you'll have to wait for your turn to use it; I own my own machine and my own VAT 40 when did work and never had to wait for a shop supplied tool. But, a word of advice; become a plumber or electrician, it pays more and your tool costs are limited. Or, do fleet work in a government shop; get a pension, great benefits, paid vacations and almost never worry about layoffs.

  26. I’m good w/ my 2004 Taco…..
    44
  27. I sat in one at a local car show. Looked at all the midsize that were there that day. I have to say it was probably the one that felt the roomiest in the driver seat. Mostly because the center console was low and maybe narrower to allow my right leg to tilt out a bit. But I find the Ranger to be a little ugly, or just not as pleasing to MY eye. The prices of all of them, all vehicles, are just out of reality. Add to that today's economy, the real economy, not the one the dems are saying, things are just nuts. And the interest rates are rediculous.
    43
  28. Toyota should be ashamed of themselves
    42
  29. Three days ago I bought a Frontier SV extended cab with 6ft bed $2000 below MSRP. Extended cabs don't sell as well as club cabs but I don't need the passenger space so it works for me. I wanted to buy a new GMC Canyon but not interested in a short bed, club cab, 4 cyl turbo anything. I agree that the deals that were starting to be common will disappear soon.
    42
  30. I just can't be sad over this because MY Chrysler died decades ago. The Chrysler I remember was Chrysler Corporation. Not Stellantis, not Cerberus or whatever it was called, DaimerChrysler, or FiatChrysler. I am talking Chrysler Corporation. Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, Imperial. Valiant. Dart. Dodge (not Ram) trucks, from pickups through over-the-road. Not rebadged Alfa Toe-Nails. I'm 75. I saw Hudson and Nash go when American Motors came about. AMC gave it a go and had a good run. Studebaker stopped making cars, but went on with their many other businesses; they did not "go out of business". Kaiser/Fraser went. So did Packard. Face it, folks. Companies die, whether from bad management, failure to adapt to the times, or the public loses interest in the product. Look at the ones that DID adapt: when was the last time American Express handled a package? When did Western Union last handle a telegram or offer TWX/Telex service? They pivoted into other businesses and remain successful.

  31. GM for the last 3 decades in a NutShell

  32. Let them rot. I knew this was happening just before Covid. I bought a 2018 F150 for $29,000 extended cab with a tow hitch capable touring 8000 pounds. Just enough for my small camper also have a 2005 Chevy Silverado work truck only has 60,000 miles and I’m running into the ground. I don’t think I’ll ever buy another truck again not with these prices.
    41
  33. My 1978 Chevrolet Silverado looks so good in my driveway. Drive it everyday and maintain just like new. Remember if you maintain your vehicle like it is the last vehicle you will ever own you will not have to replace that vehicle.
    40
  34. The key to negotiate anything, be willing to walk away.
    40
  35. I live at the beach in LA. So many people drive these things and I'm certain most are not work trucks. Also seeing too many ugly Cybertrucks. I paid cash for a beautiful, low mileage, well maintained, used Mercedes coupe. Four years and zero problems. No car payments. Very happy with my decision.

  36. My dad owns a mechanic shop in Santa Barbara County, he said Jeeps are so bad right now every week they get a few in due to bad electronic wiring and all sorts of other stuff. They'll fix them, just so the customer can sell it off. :(

  37. I bought a 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X in that green. Love it. Ride is very nice.
    39
  38. This will always happen when you try to GROW way to fast. All German car companies make too many models, get rid of the BMW 1's and the 2's. cut some out of the others, or loose your company. This is why the resale price is terrible. Audi is a very temperamental car. Repairs will kill your wallet. VW stay away!!
    38
  39. They're all off their rockers. Neither vehicle is worth the price they are asking for them.
    38
  40. Anyone who pays thousands for these piles of trash has got serious mental issues..
    38
  41. Lot rot engaged!
    38
  42. They are absolute junk now... Do not buy anything that isnt made in japan!
    37
  43. agreed! I just lemon'd a very expensive F150 platinum. It was in the shop more than 100 days this year. :( Great looking truck, piss poor mechanically.
    36
  44. You're not taking into consideration how bad ass you would look pulling up to the food bank in that suburban.
    36
  45.  @revnation_auto  as you like to say, “let it rot”🔥🔥🔥
    36
  46. Who the hell would waste whatever little money they had on a Chevy anyways
    35
  47. The simple fact that the tacomas moved production from San Antonio to Mexico means they ARE SAVING MONEY ALREADY. Why the fuck is the price higher? I’m not buying their bullshit . Gonna drive my 4x4 TRD OR till the suspension falls off
    35
  48. 3k for bs nitrogen? That dealer is scum
    35
  49. 2 years from now it will be 30k on the used market.
    34
  50. Years ago i bought a new car took it to the dealer for an oil change and the tech didnt put the oil cap back on.Drove home which took 20 min.For some reason i opened the hood to see oil all over my engine. Luckily i only lost a qt of oil no damage.Put a qt of oil in it drove it right back to the dealer i made them spit shine it.
