It's good to be back here with everyone in our humble abode's dad today's show.

It's brought to you by caredge.com.

We are officially in year six of educating, empowering, and informing car shoppers nationwide.

and how we can get you at the real price when you go to buy a vehicle.

Now, dad, today's show, Edmonds came out with a bang to start 2026.

We have the latest Q4 2025 data for new and used vehicle sales.

Holy cow, the lead is insanity.

I'm not just saying that.

I'm not trying to start off the year with more hyperbole.

I'm going to read it verbatim, and then we're going to break it down.

More than one in five new car shoppers committed $2,000 or more monthly payments in Q4 2025.

According to Edmonds, Edmonds data shows the share of $1,000 or more monthly payments,

average monthly payments, and average amount financed for new car purchases

all reached record highs in the fourth quarter of 2025.

This is what we're going to be breaking down on today's show.

Dad, Edmonds shocks the car market that they did.

Indeed, they did, and my guess is it ain't getting any better in 2026.

We have talked about an affordability crisis for the last four or five years,

and I am thoroughly convinced, thoroughly 100% convinced,

that none of the automobile manufacturers give a damn that there is an affordability crisis,

and they're not going to do anything about it other than speak about it,

but there will be no actions that match those words.

If we think that the numbers that we're about to review are hard to swallow,

maybe you see what happens during the course of this year, in my opinion.

All right, so we're getting some 2026 projections right off the bat here,

which is you're saying the affordability crisis will worsen.

I think we can look to $1,000 or higher car payments as an indication of an affordability

crisis. It's not like most people wake up and say, at least my friends, Dad, I'm 30 years old.

A lot of my friends, I live here in Washington, DC, they're software engineers,

they're mechanical engineers, they work in the government, they make decent salaries.

None of them, I think, are raking up saying, yeah, we want to spend $1,000 a month just on our

car payment. Me and my friends here in the city, we all kind of complained about the fact that

insurance costs so much, not to mention the car payment, the insurance, all that, so I don't

think it's normal for one out of every five new car shopper to take on a $1,000 or more car payment

and again, that's not the only record setting number we have here. The average monthly payment

is record setting and the amount of cash down is record setting.

It is not normal for the vast majority of people. It however seems to be comfortably normal for those

who can afford to be in the market. The only thing that would drive monthly payments down

and pricing down is if people stopped buying cars and well, that doesn't seem to really be

happening. There seems to be a large enough subset of people who can actually afford to

participate and they are participating and over 20% of them have agreed to have an automobile

payment in excess of $1,000 a month and that doesn't bother them. That doesn't scare them.

That is not an issue for them. Now, would that be an issue for you? Would that be an issue

for me? Would that be an issue say for 85, 86, 87% of the population out there? You bet your

butt it would be but there is enough profit to be had and enough customers to sell cars to

that the manufacturers don't care. They are perfectly contended with this. You can see it

in their actions. You can see it in the vehicles that they keep pushing. They talk but the actions

never match their words. Let's take a deeper dive into the data here from Edmunds. Again,

this is from Edmunds. They're Q4 market update. More car shoppers are opting into $1,000 plus

monthly payments than ever before. The share of new car buyers committing to monthly payments

of $1,000 or more reached a record high of 20.3% of all financed new vehicle purchases in Q4 2025

up from 19.1% in the quarter before that and 18.9% in Q4 of the prior year. Used vehicle buyers

also reached a new record with 6.3% of used car shoppers committing to $1,000 or a month higher

payments during the quarter compared to 6.1% in Q3 of 2025 and 5.4% in Q4 of 2024. We're focusing

on the new car market because it is alarming to say 20%, one out of every five new car shoppers

are taking on $1,000 or more monthly payment. The fact that it's 6.3% so we have record setting

used car shoppers taking on $1,000 or more monthly payment, that is also shocking to me.

Absolutely it is. The reason for it is that prices of used cars have not fallen enough.

So even for those who might have wanted to get a new car but could not afford them so they

find themselves shopping for used cars, the price of the used cars that they're shopping for

are still too expensive and 6.3% of those people have opted to have a payment of $1,000 or more

a month. It seems silly if you were to ask me that you would buy a used car, one that has a

little less warranty than say a brand new car, and agree to have a payment in excess of $1,000,

I mean what could possibly go wrong? And we know total cost of ownership obviously is

significantly higher than just your car payment. We don't even talk about fuel on this channel but

obviously fuels a component. Insurance, I mean we were talking all December about how you need to

shop your insurance, it's January, you still need to shop your insurance. We have a resource back

on the website, I am going to plug it really quickly here because it doesn't matter what month

it is, what type of the year it is, go to CarEdge.com, click on insurance up here,

and use the insurance marketplace to save money because it doesn't matter, it absolutely doesn't

matter when you're spending a thousand plus dollars on the car payment, every other dollar

does count. Obviously we have more and more people spending that thousand dollar plus. Now the

average monthly payments have the second bullet there. Monthly payments for new vehicles climb

to the highest levels ever recorded. Edmunds has been around for a while, last time I checked,

the average monthly payment on a financed new vehicle purchase reached a new all-time high of

$772 in Q4 of 2025 compared to $754 in Q3 of 2025 and $754 in Q4 of last year, 2024 excuse me,

two years ago now. We're up to $772 is the average monthly payment for a new car. How does that

sit with you, Ed? Well, think about that for a second. The whole concept was well we need to

Fed to lower the Fed rates so that interest rates on car loans could go down. And so if interest rates

on car loans go down, well then monthly payments will go down. Not really. Monthly payments have

gone up, okay, even though interest rates have come down. So what does that say to me? It says to

me that the manufacturers looked at it as a way to continue to produce and sell the highly expensive

vehicles that they are and that whatever monthly savings people had hoped to find with the lowering

of interest rates, it is not happening. It's not translating into the real world. And in order to

get payments down to what you or I or most people would consider to be an affordable level,

I don't know, interest rates might have to drop back down to zero again. And even at zero,

if you weren't paying back any interest on a $50,000 loan, it's still expensive. So it is

it's staggering when you look at the numbers and we all say, oh well, we need the Fed to lower the

rate. That's not impacting the payments in a positive way. It's still negative.

This actually continues to build on your point, Dad. You can see there it says shoppers financed

more money than ever to buy new vehicles. The average amount financed for new vehicle purchases

climbed to a record high of $43,759 in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $42,647

in the third quarter, one quarter earlier, and $42,113 in Q4 of 2024. So to your point, Dad,

even if the rate does go down, we're financing more than ever before. We have a record setting

$43,759 in debt being taken on to finance the purchase of a new vehicle right now.

Yes. And that increased from the third quarter to the fourth quarter by over a thousand dollars.

So either people didn't have money to put down in order to be financing less,

or because the interest rates came down a little bit, they were comfortable with financing a little

more. And say they didn't really want to go over $750 a month. Well, I guess I could finance a

back to what salespeople always say to a customer. Where do you want your monthly payment to fall?

Oh, I want to be no more than $750 a month. And the next line out of the salesperson's

mouth is up two. Well, up two? Yeah, up two. I mean, if you had to push up two. Oh, I guess I could

do $775, maybe $800. You know, people will always push themselves. And we say it in this data

that they continue to push themselves. And these apparently, these are people that are

wealthy enough to be able to afford it, where the vast majority of the population would look at it

and go, I'm done. I can't do this anymore. And the vast majority are saying, I am done. And I can't

do this anymore. And they're even struggling to be able to do it on pre-owned cars. And the

average price of pre-owned cars is higher than it should be. And the average miles are in the

70,000 mile range, which is higher than it used to be. It is, in my mind, all of this is a recipe

for disaster for the vast majority of folks out there. And ultimately, it very well might even

bite the people who think they can afford it. Now, let's go into the length of the loan term.

Longer loan terms continue to play a major role in managing, that's an interesting word to use here,

managing new car financing costs. Edmunds data shows that 84 month or longer loans made up 20.8%

of financed new car purchases in Q4 of 2025. Now, this is actually good news because that had been

22% in Q3 of 2025. Edmunds analysts note that it remained well above the 17.9% share seen in Q4

of 2024, underscoring consumers continued reliance on extended loan terms as an affordability tool.

What more proof do we need, Ed, that we are normalizing longer loan terms as a justification

to finance the purchase of a vehicle? There's no more proof needed. I noticed that Edmunds

didn't really talk about leasing in here. No. And my suspicion, and this is strictly a suspicion,

is that we will see more lease programs in the future in order to help mitigate some of these

payment issues and shorten the term. Because let's face it, if you're putting the vast majority of

your customers into 72 and 84 month loans, those people can't get back into the market

before five or six years. Well, if these are the only damn people who can afford to buy the cars,

well, I don't think you want to keep them out of the market for five or six years.

So the way to get them into the market more frequently would be able to come, you would

need to be able to come up with programs, leasing programs, that would encourage people to do a

shorter term at a lower payment so that, well, you can continue to sell cars two, three, four years

from now as opposed to having the vast majority of these customers remain out of the market for

five or six years. Well, and we also know that Edmunds does a quarterly negative equity study,

and we do it here at CarEdge as well. And it shows that these people who do end up in these longer

loan terms, they end up underwater on their vehicles for a longer period of time as well.

And so if they do want to get back in the market in two years or three years, and they have that

eight-year auto loan, that seven-year auto loan, they're going to be underwater. You as the customer

are going to owe more than what that vehicle is actually worth, which ultimately makes it even more

difficult to get approved for your next auto loan and into that new vehicle. So it really does take

customers out of the market unless they show up with a boatload of cash to try and keep them

on the payment the same, but we have data that shows that the down payment and not going up

significantly. Yeah, it would seem to me that, yeah, what's the average negative equity today?

$65, $6600? Yeah, which is, you know, if you figure that for every $1,000 it impacts your

payment $20. Well, you've got at $6,500, you've got what $130 worth of your next payment just

covering what you still owe on your current car. So, yeah, it seems to me we're no closer to

solving this affordability crisis for automobiles today than we were five years ago when this all

started. But interest rates could come to the rescue. Let's get a little update there. Interest

rates eased modestly, but remained elevated for new car shoppers. The average APR for new vehicle

purchases dipped to 6.7% in Q4 2025. That's down from 7% in Q3 2025 and 6.8% from Q4 2024,

but still near historically high levels. Edmunds analysts note that promotional financing continued

to be limited. In Q4, just 3.1% of new vehicle loans carried a 0% rate down from 3.3% in Q3 2025

and up from 2.4% in Q4 2024, which is interesting because we actually had 440% financing offers

that actually some of them end today. Today is kind of the last day of the month

for many of the incentive programs. And so I'm a little bit surprised here, dad, to see that there

are fewer, a quarter of a quarter, excuse me, fewer new vehicle loans with 0% financing, but

we do have some good news when it comes to interest rates going down a little bit.

News there, but my suspicion is that the reason it's just 3.1% is because the vast majority of

people don't qualify for the 0% interest loan. Your credit score needs to be 740 and above,

in most cases, to be top tier and to qualify for those specialized programs. So it's easy for the

manufacturer to advertise it. It is difficult for most buyers to qualify for it. There are two

different aspects here. You can offer something that nobody qualifies for, but they offer sounds

great and it generates floor traffic and it gets people in. But as you can see, only 3.1%

of people opted or were qualified for or utilized the 0% interest. So even though

new car interest rates were down three basis points or three tenths, that's not enough to impact

the payment. We did that one day on the live program where we looked at it with a 25 basis

point drop and it impacted the payment like 8 or 10 bucks. I mean, what the hell is the

difference between 772 and 762? So at 772, you do without one Starbucks a month.

Okay? And most people, they're not even giving up that stuff. It's my mind.

That we do have the latest data from Cox Automotive on interest rates as well. So I'll

read this out quickly here. The average Fed fund rate in December fills 16 Bips from November

following the Fed rates cut earlier in the month. Though the 10-year treasury yield remained

relatively flat, auto financing rates improved, new vehicle APRs declined 13 Bips and used rates

dropped 25 Bips. So that's a quarter of a percentage point. That's almost like a tenth

of a percentage point bringing both to their lowest levels in a year. So to your point though,

we've got good news and let's actually look at it. Let's do it together here because I do think

it is illustrative of the broader affordability challenge that Edmunds makes so clear. Let's

shop for a new car really quickly. What do you want to look at, Deb? Let's do a truck. I want to

do a truck because we added some new filters. So I want to show how that works. Oh, okay, cool.

I've always wanted a new F-150. Okay. So I'm going to do Ford. Yes. And I'm going to do F-150.

Yes. And now you'll notice here, y'all, trim is right below the model. All right. So we've got

the trim right there. So let's look at an expensive one. Let's look at a wrapped one. I want a fancy

one. And then bed length will also show up right here for your pickup trucks as well. So you can

choose your bed length right there. So, Deb, we're looking at an expensive... We don't need to do

this expensive. We'll do this one right here. First one. A $94,960. And the reason to do an

expensive one is because the change in the interest rate on a more expensive on a higher

amount of finance should materialize as more of an impact because we've just got a bigger principle.

So I'm going to come all the way down here and I want to go to my monthly payment calculator. Here

we go. All right. So we've got a $95,000 out the door price. That's great. Loan term, 60 months.

Let's say it's an 8% interest rate. We're at $1,944 a month for this Ford Raptor. Yippee!

Okay. And what did we get? Baby, sign me up. We just learned that new vehicle APRs declined

.13%. Let's come back over here. So let's do... What has that been? 7.8? 7.87?

We're at 1,903. What was it a second ago? I don't remember. All right. So at 1938,

1944. Six bucks. Six bucks, baby. If that six bucks is the difference between you being able

to afford that vehicle or not being able to afford that vehicle, let me suggest to you,

you can't afford it. Period. Period. Let's do it with an example that's a little bit less of

like a specialty vehicle. So let's look at something less specialty. So what about that?

Doesn't have to be a pickup truck this time. Let's do what? Like Nissan. We know Nissan's got

a dramatic... Let me go back here. Let me clear out my filters. We know Nissan's got a dramatic

oversupply of inventory, right? We've heard, yeah. So let's do a Nissan. Let's just see whatever

comes up. Let's do... We'll do a Kix. So we're at $28,890 here. Come down to the payment calculator.

Here we go. So we're at $609 a month. Yes. $609. Remember that. $609. The area code where I

live. $609. We're at $608 now. $608. Not the area code where I live. $608. So our interest rate is

going to be the saving grace? I don't think so. Okay. So that dollar a month you just saved won't

even buy you parking. Okay. At the cafe that you want to go to for lunch. It's fool's gold

at this point to think that the lowering of interest rates is really going to be the saving

grace for most people out there. It is not. And I will take exception with one of the things that

Edmund said in the article that the interest rates are historically high.

They are not. Okay. They are what I would suggest to you are historically normal.

What was abnormal was when interest rates were reduced because of the great recession to near

zero and they stayed at those artificially below normal levels for a dozen years or 10 years or so.

Just because we went through that 10-year period of time doesn't mean that that was

the historic normal. It was abnormal. And so to suggest that a 6.7% interest rate on a new

car loan is historically high is a misrepresentation of the truth and the facts. I lived through the

days in the 80s where we had interest rates 17, 18%. Those were normal rates at that time.

But they didn't remain that high for a dozen years or so. But a 6.7% interest rate is not

historically high. Let's actually first, I can hear that because again what we're demonstrating here

is Cox Automotive. They put out their weekly auto market update and they showed that new

vehicle APRs declined 13 basis points, 0.13. Now at the same time we know from the Edmunds data

what was it? It was 3.1% of new vehicle loans in Q4 had 0%. Let's come here and we've just

demonstrated that 0.13% decrease, the 13 basis point decrease, dropped some payment on a Nissan

kicks here by a dollar a month over a 16 month loan term. Let's see what happens however, Dad,

when we make it 0%. So when the manufacturer steps up and says, oh crap, we got to sell these things,

we're going to go from $609 a month to 501. So now let's talk about this. What type of impact?

Which again, we know that manufacturers only stepped up for 0% financing for 3.1% of new

vehicle purchases last quarter. But what type of impact does a $100 plus a month swing in payment

on in this case a $30,000 vehicle half? That to me starts to indicate, okay, this could help move

the metal. Oh, absolutely. And here's the really funny part about that. When Nissan offers 0%

interest, they know that the vast, vast, vast majority of their customers are never going to

qualify for it. They just aren't. I'm sorry. For sure. Nissan might not be the best example here,

but in general, when these manufacturers offer 0% or 0.9%, that is really where they can move the

metal. If you're talking about saving somebody $107 a month over 60 months, that's significant.

That's enough where somebody could say, okay, I can now afford it.

I mean, you know, $107 a month difference in your payment is huge. So, you know, that might

actually might help you cover your automobile insurance and some of your maintenance costs.

So, yeah, but a 13 basis point drop, even a 1% drop is not going to move the needle

significantly enough to wear these high priced vehicles. And I read the comments and many people

believe them to be well overpriced vehicles. Even a 1% interest rate drop is not going to

significantly impact the payment enough to bring the vast majority of people back into the market.

It's just not. Which is why I say the manufacturers don't really care and that their actions don't

match their words when they talk to you about, we're very concerned about affordability. We have

to address the affordability crisis. We have to address our affordability issues and then they

turn around and they keep producing the 60, 70, 80, 90 thousand dollar vehicles and they are not

addressing it and they have no intentions of addressing it. And it is a small subset of the

American public that can afford to buy these cars and they're the only people that these manufacturers

are truly interested in. Here at Unclear, but I come back to it all the time, the first viral video

we ever had on YouTube was my dad explaining what happens to unsold new cars and you don't have to

go watch the video to get the answer. It's right here. There is no such thing as an unsold new car.

All new cars eventually get sold, whether it be to a retail customer or they get sold at dealer

auctions behind the scenes and obviously dealers lose money on vehicles that don't sell. And the

reason I bring that up in this context, dad, is because eventually what will happen here is these

manufacturers will either have to step up, do zero percent financing and things like that, which

for instance here on this Kix, Nissan's offering right now a lease incentive that is effectively

7.44 percent APR or $300 in customer cash. So they are not stepping up. I want to be very clear

here. Neither of these incentives from Nissan say we're feeling the pain enough to have to step up,

but eventually, dad, if what you're describing stays true and customers stop buying these vehicles,

we know the incentives have to increase or the manufacturers have to produce more affordable

vehicles. Well, and I don't know if you noticed, but the end dates for both of those programs are

today. Can you imagine the rush at these Nissan dealerships so that the people can get that $300

lease cash or that 7.24 percent interest rate on that? Who the hell is running in for that?

But Nissan's putting all their money in their stair step programs.

That's a bad save. We're going to talk about that tomorrow and the next day. And we are also going

to get the national data on new and used car inventory this week or next week. And obviously,

we'll be covering that here on the channel as well, because there are already supply and

demand imbalances here in the United States. There are many dealerships that are dramatically

oversupplied with vehicles. It seems like the early indications are that December was not as

strong as the industry had wanted it to be. And so that's good news for shoppers, continues to be

good news for shoppers. The more the industry has buried an inventory, the more opportunity,

the more leverage we have as shoppers. The best leverage we have at shoppers

as shoppers right now with the automobile industry is to stop shopping. I know that impacts our

business, okay? But if people just stop buying cars, and I believe we own that website or maybe

we've given up that domain name, but stopbuyingcars.com, if people en masse stop buying cars

and at that point, the manufacturers would have to look at what they're doing. But as long as that

subset of people who can actually afford to participate, keep participating,

we're not going to see any change. We're just not. I believe that to be the reality of the

situation. I believe the manufacturers have been proving that to us on a daily basis for the last

five years. I hear you loud and clear. And I continue to reiterate that there are pockets of

opportunity out there. So while it would be great if everyone stopped buying cars for a few months,

the whole auto industry, I think, would reset. I do not think that's rational or realistic.

Where are our pockets of the auto industry? And brands in particular, I'm looking here at Hyundai

Dad, who actually, they saw their prices go up significantly in here. We've got a Santa Fe

calligraphy. It's a $53,000 vehicle. Where else? I want, where is it? Yeah, Ionic 9 here, Dad,

$68,000 vehicle. There are some of these vehicles pops. Yeah, moderate leverage, which makes sense

because 211 days on the lot, there's 12 for sale. None have sold in the last 45 days near this

dealership. That's an example. Yeah. Do me a favor. Okay, scroll down to your payment machine.

On that $68,000 car that you should be able to buy for $64,000 plus fees.

Yeah. Oh yeah, boy, that's a reasonable payment for most people. Where there's pockets of savings,

that savings is never making it into most people's pockets.

Totally. I hear you, Dad, but it goes for me back to supply and demand. And I hear you that if there

was less demand and the same amount of supply would have a bigger impact on the market and for

particular makes and models, we're compiling the fastest and slowest selling cars here for the

month of January. And that'll also indicate where there are pockets of opportunity and obviously

which brands, Cough, Lexus, Cough, Toyota have an imbalance when it comes to supply and demand.

From our dear friend Rich, thank you for this, Rich. I don't want to say the Norman Tim special

screams Ray, but only because I don't want him screaming at me. What is the Norman Tim special

pops? Well, I can honestly say I have no idea what Rich is referring to. It's not often I can

say that. It's not often that I will admit my ignorance, but I don't remember who Norman Tim's

is and I certainly have no idea what was special about him. Let's see. Give me a second here.

You're going to look it up in the Google machine. Yeah, look at this. It looks like it's a cart.

And what the heck? Oh, wow. Whoa. What? That's an interesting vehicle now, isn't it?

I don't know if it screams pops, but it screams something.

I kind of like that. I mean, I only wish my ass was that long and that big, but

because I just remember you kids, you and your sister wanting to call the police and reporting

that somebody stole my ass, but because it was missing. So that's a unique looking automobile.
