Jacqueline Farrell+FollowNew Cars Are Basically a Luxury NowDid you know almost half of new cars are now bought by households making over $150k?

The car market’s turning into a luxury club, and the gap between who can and can’t buy is only getting wider. Is buying a new car now just for the rich? #Cars #BuyingCar #CarMarket00Share
Jennifer Smith+FollowHonda Prelude’s Comeback Hits a Speed BumpThe Honda Prelude is back, but barely anyone’s buying it—just 174 sold in December!

Meanwhile, Honda’s SUVs and trucks are crushing it, but their coupes? Not so much. Would you pay that much for a Prelude, or are you sticking with the classics? #Cars #BuyingCar #HondaPrelude00Share
Jacqueline Farrell+FollowHonda Prelude’s price drop sparks outrageA Fredericksburg Honda dealer just slashed $10,000 off the new Prelude’s $25,000 markup, but it’s still selling for over $58,000—way above MSRP. Car fans aren’t buying the “discount” hype, calling out how even the sticker price feels out of reach for what the Prelude offers. Online, people are comparing it to luxury sports cars and questioning why Honda’s classic coupe is being treated like an exotic. Is this just the new normal for in-demand cars, or should buyers push back harder? Would you ever pay this much for a Prelude? #Cars #BuyingCar #HondaPrelude10Share

The result: discounts are back, used cars are getting all the love, and only high-income buyers are still splurging on those shiny new SUVs. If you’re car shopping, it’s officially a buyer’s market—just don’t get sticker shock! #Cars #BuyingCar #CarMarket138Share

Lisa Guerrero PhD+FollowTesla Rentals: From Cash Cow to Cautionary TaleRemember when everyone thought renting out Teslas would be a goldmine? Turns out, the dream crashed hard.

One Dutch firm went all-in on Teslas and ended up bankrupt, while Hertz lost billions and is now selling off thousands of EVs. Lesson learned: tech hype doesn’t always beat old-school math! #Cars #BuyingCar #Tesla11Share
Lisa Guerrero PhD+FollowTesla’s “Cheap” Lease Deals? Not So FastThought Tesla’s new entry-level Model 3 and Model Y leases would be a steal? Turns out, the deals are actually worse than before! The Model 3 Standard lease now works out to $564/month (after you factor in the upfront cost), which is 35% higher than the previous Premium trim lease. Same story for the Model Y. Less car, more money. Maybe wait for better offers before jumping in! #Cars #BuyingCar #Tesla10Share
