Americans are now paying an average of $12,182 to own and operate a brand-new vehicle

Misleading title.

So new cars have gotten more expensive overall, people are buying more expensive new cars, and the cost of credit for new cars has gone up. In other words, don't buy a brand new car.

Didn't used car prices go up even relatively more though? Just my anecdotal experience after peeping around for a different car the past year.

They’ve started to drop pretty dramatically. My 7 year old car has lost 20% of its value in the last ~9 months.

Definitely not good news for my 2014. Can't say I've checked places recently enough then.
