It's good to have you here with us on The CarPro Show.
We're talking cars today, and we're talking about the fact that the 2026s are going to go up in price a lot.
The worst example I've seen so far, and it could get worse, is $4,700.
Cars going up. Same car. No big change from 2025 to 2026, except $4,700 higher.
And I think that's going to be the theme for the 2026 model year.
So if you are thinking about making a move, maybe even in December,
I think that's going to be the theme for the 2026 model year.
So if you are thinking about making a move, maybe even in December,
I got to tell you, I think I'd start looking right now at 2025s.
I think the savings now versus what the 2026s will be is probably greater than waiting until December,
because of the incentives.
And boy, I tell you, with trade values right now, which may not be there in December,
I know for years I've told you December is the time. December is the time.
What's the best month of the year, December?
I've given that advice for the 25 years I've been on the air, but it looks different to me this year.
The other thing is tax code 179.
We had our annual guide in yesterday's free weekly newsletter.
And it was really hard to get my arms around this year.
And for my CPA who helps me with this, he had trouble with it, because all the legislation changed this year.
Now, luckily, it changed in favor of the consumer.
So if you own a business or you're self-employed and you want to write the entire cost of a vehicle off this year,
you can do that.
And I've got the rules for you in easy-to-understand language in my free weekly newsletter.
There's also bonus depreciation there.
And the new thing for 2025 is writing off the interest on your car loan.
I've got the rules to that too in the same article.
So it's all there for you.
All you got to be is a newsletter subscriber.
And if you subscribe today, you'll get yesterday's in your inbox immediately.
And you'll have my guide to tax code 179 and bonus depreciation and writing off interest.
And I give you every eligible car for tax code 179, truck and SUV.
And you can see those there.
We know the $7,500 is going away if you want an electric car.
So lots going on in the industry right now.
And that makes it a good time to buy my Yodeling co-host, Todd Shambliss.
You got to have some sort of dumb talent.
Why not that?
And no, I really don't want to show an example on the radio.
No, I really appreciate that.
I think everybody can agree on that.
Yeah, I think so too.
And one of these rare things that when you, I can't speak for you,
but when I'm looking for a new car and you think,
well, I've got to have the latest one because the 2026s are coming out.
And you typically default to that.
But this year, you might not want to do that,
given the fact that a lot of these new 2026s might be going up in price.
And they're not that much different than the 2025 like you talked about.
It might make a whole lot more sense during these times when you're near the end of the month,
which is coming up in days.
You've got the incentive still working for you.
The $7,500 if you do any V4000 for used, all that points to why would you not look at a 2025
and get one of those while there's still selection?
Well, and interestingly enough, I saw one example yesterday as I was looking at prices on 2026s,
which are slowly coming out.
Manufacturers starting to release that information to the press.
And one of them took a $500 jump in the cost of transportation.
Really?
Yes.
Now, it's not going to cost you more to ship a car next month than it is this month.
No.
And with gas prices slowly coming down, diesel prices slowly coming down,
it may cost me even less.
It's just another way to offset the cost of the tariffs.
Creative accounting.
Yes.
Yeah.
But $500 in the cost of transportation in one year model when there's no change in the car.
Wow.
I fear that's going to be the trend, things of that nature.
Not everybody doing it, but you may see some things like that and go,
why would that be more well?
It's because they've got to find a place to.
I hate to use word pad, but to find a place to throw a cost in,
if they're trying to make their money back.
Well, they are.
And all the cars coming in from anywhere outside the borders of the U.S.
Some of them are getting taxed 25%.
Right.
And no matter where, even if a car is made inside the borders of America,
they're going to go up too.
Because they want parity in all the pricing.
So they're not going to have a car made in Japan,
exact same car made in America.
And there'll be $1,500 to $2,000 difference.
Exactly.
They're going to mix those prices.
That means everything's going up.
Let's go to San Antonio and talk to Charles.
W-O-A-I.
Hello, Charles.
Hey, good afternoon, Jerry.
Hi, buddy.
Thanks for taking my call.
Sure.
The first time caller and I got in on the first dial.
You're doing good.
I'm going to buy a lottery ticket.
Yes, sir.
A couple of questions on used vehicles.
Like a 2024 vehicle with 30,000 miles.
Would there be concern about that on the high mileage?
You know, Charles, not for me.
And the reason is simple.
If you drive 30,000 miles in a year,
most of that's going to be on the highway.
And highway miles are not near as hard on a car as stop and go in the city.
And so, no, that wouldn't bother me.
30,000 miles in town on a one-year car.
Yeah, that would concern me.
That would scare me.
Okay.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
It's probably the only way to do that is on the highway.
Yeah.
Physically, that's the only way.
30,000 miles a year is a lot of driving.
So you've got to be doing the freeway thing.
And then, you know, the other big consideration,
anytime you're looking at used cars,
look at the history reports.
So many people don't do that.
And for 25 or 30 bucks, you don't have gone to know
that the car hasn't been in a bad wreck.
The odometer is accurate.
In the case of South Texas, it hadn't been in a flood.
My goodness, if they ain't worth 25 bucks,
I don't know what is.
Right.
Okay, second question.
Real quick, we're up against the clock here.
Yeah, I was looking at a Ford Edge.
Yes.
Would you be concerned about a discontinued vehicle?
Absolutely not.
No, not at all.
In fact, I look for discontinued vehicles
when people want to get a bargain
because the price goes down.
No, that wouldn't bother me a bit.
You may think you know a lot about cars,
but you may also think you can quarter back
the Dallas Cowboys.

Well, another popular part of the newsletter
that's released every Friday, by the way,
about mid-morning or so is the quickshifts
where Jerry takes a bunch of news
and top stories from the auto industry
with his commentary.
There's some great stories here.
The far and away, though, is the one that got my attention
is the Volkswagen story.
The subscription for everything movement
seems to have hit them,
and it looks like owners of the ID3 Pro
and Pro S in the UK
now can pay 22...
You've already bought the car.
The car has the power already under the hood,
but you're not getting all the horsepower
unless you unlock a $22 a month,
$220 a year,
or nearly $900 for life subscription
that you go from 201 to 228 horses,
and you don't get the 228 unless you pay the subscription
and your thoughts.
Just wrong.
It's like we're nickel and dime done
just about everything in the world,
and now you've already bought the car.
It's all there,
and you're having to pay extra just to go a little faster.
Yeah, that kind of drives me crazy.
I don't hate Volkswagen at all.
I love Volkswagen,
but this is not rating the tea leaves very well, is it?
No, and I suspect that people buying electric cars
most of them don't care about the horsepower anyway,
so this is a stupid program to begin with,
but if a car is capable of something...
Look, some cars get what we call G-tuned,
where you could have two different cars,
but, well, the car I'm driving now,
the SUV, the Audi, sitting out in the garage.
SQ8, it's got 500 horses.
That same engine comes in a Lamborghini
that's got 591 horses.
Woof, okay.
That's a big difference.
But there's a huge difference in the vehicles, too.
Right.
It's not like Audi's asking me to pay extra money
every month...
Extra 91 horses.
...to be able to get that other 91 horses.
Right, right.
Because I tell no.
Right, exactly.
I've got a line open,
which doesn't happen very often,
so if you've waited,
now is the time, 800-926-7777-800-926.
7777, we go to Kirk in Magnolia, Texas.
Kirk, welcome.
Hey, Jerry.
How's it going?
Hey, it's good, buddy.
What can I help you with?
I've got a question about towing.
I bought a camper a few years ago.
It's a GBRW 7800 pounds and a ton weight
between 600 and 700 pounds.
At the time, we were towing it with a Tahoe
that had the tow package on it.
Yeah.
That worked okay,
but the trailer would pull it around sometimes
if you know what I mean.
I do.
It's a pretty short wheelbase.
Yeah.
And that affects it.
Yeah, and I purchased a 21RAM 1500,
and when we were at the dealership
and talking about all the tow rates and everything,
they said that that truck,
and it was a two-wheel drive,
not a four-wheel drive.
I love the truck, man.
So comfortable, great ride.
When we put the trailer on it,
it was worse than the Tahoe
as far as trying to pull it.
What engine did it have?
Uh, is it a 6.2 on the 1500, the RAM 1500?
No.
Or maybe a 5-something?
570.
I'm sorry.
If it was a 570, it was the Hemi,
and that is a good engine,
but more importantly, the rear axle ratio.
Do you know what that was?
Yeah, it was set up for the towing.
It was a truck that was set up for towing,
so it had the lower rear end ratio.
I don't remember now exactly what it was.
And so after having it on the road a couple of three times,
I went back to the dealership and they said,
well, this truck really isn't big enough
to tow a trailer at 7,800 pounds,
even though all the tow ratings say it is.
So I went up to a 2500 four-wheel drive,
RAM, and a 22, and that tows it, no problem.
I mean, it's great.
Yeah.
But the ride is like I'm in a buck wagon.
Yeah, that's the downside.
Yeah.
When you go to a three-quarter ton.
Now, I would have told you to get a four-wheel drive
in the 1500.
That truck in a four-wheel drive should tow it extremely well.
Okay.
Because I am looking at,
I'm looking at it getting out of the 22,
2500 just because of the ride.
I mean, and we usually go long distance
when we go dragging that trailer around behind us.
I don't get a 1500, get the right rear end,
at least a 355 rear end and get a four-wheel drive.
I guarantee you it'll do the job.
Find out if your trade-in is a classic or a dud.
Call Jerry Reynolds, the car pro, at 1-800-926-7777.
And we go to Hearst in Flint, Michigan.
Welcome.
Whoa, Flint, Texas, please.
Oh, Flint, Texas.
I didn't know there was such a thing.
Oh, yeah, just south of Tyler.
Okay, good, out in the Pony Woods.
Yeah, small place, small place.
Yes.
Well, I was going to ask you a question,
but all of a sudden I have to ask Todd
with what I just heard a few minutes ago.
Oh.
Am I going to be able to see him on the stage
in a few weeks on one of our October fest things here in Texas?
I'm not going to wear a leader hose
in advance of what you're asking.
Are you going to yodel?
For the right price, I would yodel.
But you're not going to like it, I promise you.
It's not good.
Yeah, don't count on it, buddy.
I think I'm going to go home and practice my yodeling.
Well, I'm disappointed.
Yes, yes, please.
Okay, my second question.
I've always been a stickler for oil and filter changes,
but we got a new car in April,
and we're not putting many miles on it.
And I know you've got a lot of low mileage cars,
so you're going to help me out right now.
I wanted to get the six month oil change.
The car was manufactured in November,
and it got to the dealership in December,
and it got 270 miles on it before we bought it new in April.
So it's not actually an April car.
It's a December car, basically.
Is that right?
Yeah, that's the way to look at it.
Yeah, so I wanted to get about a six month time frame,
but it was only 2000 and something miles about a month ago.
And they said, no, that's not enough miles.
Put some more miles on it.
So the owner's manual says 12 miles, excuse me, 12 months.
Absolutely, no more than a year.
So am I worrying about it for nothing?
Yeah.
I can just wait.
I can just wait right up until a lot of hours.
You really can.
A year, they're telling you right.
That's my rule is for me, 5,000 miles or a year,
I'm going to change the oil, whichever comes first.
And it's usually the year before it is the 5,000 miles.
What kind of car are we talking about here just for...
Yeah, it's a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Oh, very good choice.
I love those things.
Yeah, do it at a year and you'll be fine.
And use December as the date.
It takes years to learn all about buying or trading cars,
and chances are you haven't reached that year yet.

And you're listening to the car pro show Jerry Reynolds is the car pro,
a man that reviews lots and lots of vehicles sometimes.
He reviews more than one a week.
And here lately, that's been the case.
Yeah, no end in sight.
Let me ask you this, have you reviewed more than one vehicle this week?
I have.
Oh, and what is your review?
Well, I had the Audi SQ8 SUV.
And then on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum,
which is always the case in it.
Yeah.
I've had the Subaru WRX.
What is the Subaru WRX?
It's a little hot ride.
Is it really?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The WRX, the STI was around for a lot of years.
And it's a fun little car.
It's one of those drifting cars, you know, that they drift.
They drift?
Yeah.
You don't know what drifting is?
I know.
I've heard of drifters, which back in my radio career,
I drifted around a lot.
But I think it's different than that.
This is different than that.
Oh, OK.
It's a little six speed manual hot ride.
OK.
With a big four cylinder boxer engine under the hood
with a supercharger.
And it's just it's a crazy little car.
It just picks up and goes, huh?
No.
It's nuts.
It's nuts.
It's not my thing.
Is it low to the ground too?
Fairly.
So not exactly really, really low.
Like you're having the jaws of life to get out or something.
It's got pretty good size tires and wheels.
So it sets up a little bit better.
And it's fun.
Again, it's not my thing.
Is it a high performance price?
No, not at all.
Thirty seven ish.
OK.
Yeah.
That might be fun to get into if that's your thing.
Obviously not your thing, really, but no, it's not.
There's a market for it for sure.
Well, people buy them.
It's been around for a lot of years.
And next week, your wife will be interested in this.
Please don't let her be listening right now.
Please.
I have the twenty twenty five stroke edition Bronco.
So I have to ask, what is the stroke edition mean?
What is that?
Well, apparently I wasn't aware of this and I haven't done my
research yet because I don't have the vehicle yet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's some guy named Strope that was big into Baja racing.
OK.
And Ford wanted to do a Bronco.
In his honor.
OK.
Kind of like he's kind of like the Carol Shelby.
I'd say Shelby may be a good example.
Yeah.
But of Baja racing.
So it's a big.
It's a big Bronco.
It's red on the bottom that turns into white.
With a black roof and a black hood.
So it's pretty eye catching.
And some big tires and wheels.
Oh, man.
She she absolutely would love that.
Well, jacked up and all that.
And already have the winter sticker on it.
How much?
It is seventy seven six sixty five under the hood.
It's got the two point seven liter eco boost V six,
which is the one I want.
And doesn't really it has no options other than.
One hundred and thirty five dollars for something.
What is that?
Sound deadening headliner.
OK.
Which I guess probably worth one hundred and thirty five.
Like an off road thing more than anything.
Yes, it is.
Yeah.
OK.
Yes, it is.
Let's talk to Jeff in Houston, Texas.
Jeff.
Welcome, pal.
What can I do for you?
Hi.
I actually have a couple of questions.
I'm trying to decide.
Which vehicle I should replace right now.
And what I should replace it with.
I drive a two thousand seventeen F one fifty four by four.
With the five liter V eight.
Yep.
And and I'm now going to be.
I spent a lot of time in the truck going.
To Dallas from Houston.
And and all over the state.
And then also spending time.
Trying to work in the truck sometimes on my computer and everything.
And so.
It's a mind-blowing time.
Yeah.
And then my wife.
Has a 2013 Ford flex.
And it's it's got.
120,000 miles on it.
I think I forgot to say my truck has about 90,000.
Okay.
And and her car has about 120,000 on it.
And.
Just recently now.
We found out she's going to need to be driving.
About double her her mileage that she was before.
And I'm just wondering if that car is going to last.
A couple more years or.
And I think that my truck is with the five liter is pretty solid.
For me to last for for a while and.
But I was just.
Wondering what you think about that.
And I was thinking.
If I replace my truck.
Right now I probably get more.
Traded in it.
Oh yeah.
Thinking about an F 250 with the diesel.
Because of all of the long distance and the.
And the idling.
Okay.
So have you been good about maintenance with both vehicles.
Yes.
Yes.
We replace the oil with a mobile one.
Full synthetic.
Good.
You know, every oil change.
Good.
I think I think the flex will start to give you trouble.
Before the truck does.
And the flex was a good vehicle.
It was one of my favorites as far as the way it drove.
And the ride and that sort of thing.
I just loved him.
I hated to see him go away.
But they never were very popular.
Because of the body style.
The body style was.
Different.
You know.
So I think.
I think I'd be looking at.
Trading the flex.
I think your truck.
Is.
Probably going to be good to at least 175,000 miles.
The way you've maintained it.
So you got a lot of time.
Even though you're going to be driving more.
So I think the immediate immediate need is probably the flex.
I would.
I would start thinking about doing something with it.
Is it about the right size for her.
Yes.
Yes she's a.
She's going to be.
Well she's taking now my daughter to.
Her high school.
Private private school.
And she's.
Taking a couple other kids that.
That.
Used to go to my daughter's elementary school.
And middle school.
Okay.
Now just to help out those families.
And.
I'm a little bit worried about the reliability.
And.
Of the car now.
I think that's legit.
It's also 13 years old.
And.
And that can cause problems.
Yeah.
And we've already had to replace the water pump on that.
And that was a big ordeal because.
You know that was.
It isn't just an external one.
It was an internal and that costs a lot to get.
Sure.
But.
But.
But yeah, if I were to replace that one.
I was thinking.
Something reliable.
And.
And.
We've always gone forward.
On all of our vehicles.
But.
But my father.
He bought.
He bought my stepmother a.
Palisade.
Hyundai.
Yeah.
She really liked.
Before.
Before we run out of time.
I would tell you to look at the Ford Explorer.
And the.
Also.
The.
Your tray could be worth a lot.
Or not.
Find out which by calling Jerry Reynolds the car pro.
At 1-800-926-7777.
And.
Welcome back to the car pro show with Jerry Reynolds the car pro.
Who spends.
Lots of hours every single week doing the newsletter.
Compiling all the information doing the editing doing the
writing.
It's a whole lot of work and you I mean you work way ahead.
I mean you've already got stuff loaded up and ready to go for
next week.
Oh yeah.
Right.
Absolutely.
You want to give maybe a peek inside what you've got next
week.
Yeah.
I'm going to give you a little insight in from a dealer.
Ship perspective.
Of Labor Day sales.
Okay.
Important.
That's a big deal.
Here's one that you'll like.
Okay.
The JD power technology experience study.
That's a huge deal for me.
It is.
I know.
You're the tech guy.
I'm the tech guy.
And I'll tell you which cars have what as rated by people who
actually own these cars what what things are the most important
to them.
Okay.
And how they perform.
Any surprises on that list.
One thing I don't think I've ever talked about but my Mercedes
has this car wash mode.
Car wash mode.
I've never heard of that.
Push button on the screen.
It makes sure all your windows are closed.
Make sure the sunroof is closed.
It raises the vehicle.
It folds the mirrors in.
Oh wow.
I love that.
And it all with the push of one button.
I love that.
That's becoming a thing.
Particularly in luxury cars.
Not to tell you're adding to that much.
No, probably not.
Yeah.
I've got information on the new Nissan Leaf Electric.
That used to be a thing back in the day and now it's coming
back or has it been around all this time.
It's it's been around but they haven't done anything to
it since it came.
I reviewed the Leaf in 2010.
It was the first electric.
I'd say that was the first one, right?
The first one I ever reviewed.
Yeah.
Wow.
Stranded me on the side of the road.
In the winter.
Oh no.
True story.
Oh no.
Hopefully they've made some improvements.
Oh they have.
Yeah, okay.
But the new 2026 comes out at a price cheaper
than it was in 2010.
How could that be?
Well it's like cell phones.
My first cell phone I ever bought was $2,500.
That was a back phone too probably, right?
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
And that was in 1985.
Yeah.
And look how much cheaper they are now.
They're free.
Right.
Sort of.
Well, yeah.
Well if you buy them like you do I'm sure they
probably are.
Yeah, they are.
Yeah.
Let's talk to Helen.
Plus I got a lot more than that in the newsletter.
Right, right.
A ton of stuff.
Oh yeah.
Helen, welcome.
How can I help you?
Yes, good afternoon.
Hi.
I want to say I'm not a car person but I do enjoy
listening to your show.
Well thank you.
I heard you say something about the Rogue earlier
and my little ears just perked up.
I have a 2015 Rogue that's pretty comfortable.
I bought it in 17 so I've had it about eight years.
It has almost 70,000 miles but in the last couple years
I have bought new struts, new bushings,
mass airflow sensor with throttle body.
Yeah.
Brakes and tires.
I've got about probably $6,000 I've spent in the last
couple years on the car.
Right.
And I wonder is number one, is that normal?
Number two, at what point do you say enough and I'm
going to get rid of it and find something else?
Okay.
Given Nissan quality back then I'd say enough is enough.
And I don't think your problems are going to stop.
I think it's going to get, I think they're going to
continue on.
They just weren't building, they went through a period
from 2013 to about 2016, 17 somewhere in there.
They just weren't building great cars and your
transmission is the next likely thing to go wrong.
So I would do something different now.
I'd look at the new Rogue.
It's fantastic.
I reviewed it.
You can see it at the website.
I would look to do something now Helen.
I really would.
Almost everybody thinks they know about cars
but the car pro Jerry Reynolds actually does know.
Call the car pro show now at 1-800-926-7777.
It's another set of happy listeners folks that have
taken Jerry's advice and when they went to buy a new
car, they did it Jerry's way and look at what
happened.
I think it's a good thing that we've got a lot of
new people.
I've got a lot of new people.
Suzanne was interested in a RAV4 prime plug-in
hybrid from Toyota Pasadena and Sandra Bruning who
we love.
She said treated like a queen by Sandra.
Of course they bend over backwards to make sure
she got the best deal possible.
Had a nice salesperson spend time to make sure
she could use all the bells and whistles on this
possible for me.
And you know what?
Every time we hear from somebody that goes to see
Sandra, it's the same story.
Every single time.
She treated him like a queen.
She's a sweetheart.
Gave me a great deal.
Love my experience.
Every single time.
That's amazing.
CJ was interested in getting a new car for
Bob Smith BMW and says that first of all Jerry
is a treasured resource.
Did you know that you were?
I did not.
You're a treasure resource according to CJ.
You're a Hall of Famer.
You are a Hall of Famer which we have not talked
about in a few minutes.
It's okay.
It's over.
No, it's not over.
No, no.
Says he responds every time I ask a question and
you suggested that this CJ called BMW, Bob Smith
BMW and you did.
The contact was quick.
They took care of him and couldn't ask for a
better deal.
Yeah, that's a good deal ship.
They've been with me a long, long time.
They're in Calabasas, home of the Kardashians.
Is that where they live?
Yeah.
I didn't know they lived in Calabasas.
I never saw the show.
So I wouldn't know that.
I'm proud to say I didn't see it very many
times, but I did see it a time or two.
Okay.
And they I think they all at least used to
live in Calabasas, but that's where Bob
Smith BMW has been for over 100 years.
There you go.
So there you go.

Mom, I saw Dylan's dad make dinner
like actually cooked and it was
straight fire.
He said it was blue apron assemble and bake.
All the ingredients showed up pre-chopped
and he just laid it out on a baking sheet
and no cap. Dinner was on the table in
like 25 minutes. Apparently it's chef
designed and has like over 40 grams
of protein. That's a lot, right?
So maybe we try it, just saying.
You can be the next Dylan's dad.
