Car shopping? Brace yourself: the average new car now costs a wild $49,766—before taxes and fees! Thanks to a 25% tariff on imported vehicles and parts, sticker shock is the new normal. Even mainstream models feel like luxury buys, and some buyers are stretching loans to 7 years just to make it work. The days of affordable new rides are officially over. Would you pay $50K for a family car? #Cars #BuyingCar #CarPrices
