Affordability has been one of the biggest themes in the auto industry, and data show car buyers are feeling the pinch.

The market has changed a lot, really concerned about continued escalation in the fuel price.

We're seeing 84 -month financing, which a year ago was not really popular, almost a third of the market for new vehicles.

So people are stretching more and more to buy that new Ford.

Those 84 -month loans Farley mentioned have hit record levels.

Now one in four car buyers are getting them.

And monthly payments?

Record high.

Payments over $1 ,000 a month?

Record high for both new and used car buyers.

Total interest paid also hit an all -time high.

Has it gotten any better?

No way.

We're at like breaking points with people.

High -end vehicle sales dropped through the third quarter of 2026, while midsize and mainstream vehicles rose.

Even midsize cars and minivans were up.

But some of the least expensive cars on the market aren't seeing that same bump.

More affordable segments like compact SUVs and compact cars priced less than $40 ,000 have fallen year over year.

Even though sales in affordable segments are down year -to -date, lower -priced vehicles on dealer lots were selling faster in Q3 than in Q1,

and faster than higher -priced vehicles.

So if cheap cars are selling faster, why are sales still down?

There are a few possible reasons.

One, fewer options.

Two, customers unwilling to trade down.

And three, many buyers are still priced out.

First, there is an argument that there aren't enough cars available, or the selection that customers would like.

For one thing, the compact car segment has shrunk dramatically.

We've seen a whole number of inexpensive vehicles disappear from the marketplace.

And we still have Civics and Kia K4s and Toyota Corollas on the market, but you don't have a Chevy, you don't have a Ford,

you don't have a Dodge.

You have all these brands that have just abandoned the marketplace.

And those buyers would typically move into those showrooms are going to the used car market

and having to buy an entry level leftover 20 ,000, 30 ,000 mile compact or subcompact car.

In the wholesale used market, compact car prices have risen faster than for every segment besides EVs.

Compact vehicle buyers are very price sensitive.

And so when the price of gas goes up, that eats into their car payment.

That means that they can't afford a $500 or $600 a month car payment, and they have to move into the used market.

That's pushing up the prices of used cars.

A few popular SUVs in the lower price range have been in short supply as well.

Ford discontinued production of the Escape to make way for its new midsize EV pickup,

and some production changes have constrained the supply of the extremely popular Toyota RAV4.

But analysts like Ivan Drury also think the degree to

which consumers are stretching themselves financially suggests some are just not stepping down into a smaller, less well -equipped car.

The moment you get into that other vehicle and it's a little bit smaller, it's not as comfortable, it doesn't fit all your stuff,

all your kids' equipment for soccer practice, you're done.

And as long as we can't give those things up, we're going to continue to persist with people taking out longer loan terms,

stretching things financially, or just saying, you know what, I'll cut in other places in my life just to afford this vehicle.

The one small vehicle segment that did see some growth was subcompact SUVs.

Drury said that's a segment that attracts a lot of first -time buyers.

Because this is their first car, these buyers don't feel like they're stepping down from something better.

There are also a number of other financial and economic factors working against affordability.

Manufacturers are being more disciplined about production,

which means they are trying to match production with demand so they don't have to rely so much on incentives and leasing.

This is great for their financial performance, but it means there are fewer deals to be had by consumers.

Automakers are offering fewer incentives.

Leasing, which offers a lower monthly payment, is less common than it was in 2019.

We have kind of a resilient core of the market.

But that entry -level buyer has kind of priced out and that's brought, it's brought a smaller, more profitable market overall.

That entry -level buyer is looking at a daunting landscape.

Nearly one in three shoppers trading in a vehicle have negative equity,

meaning the outstanding cost of the loan is greater than the value of the vehicle.

That balance is often rolled into the next loan, which raises the new payment cost.

Lenders have been extending credit to customers with lower credit scores, but that comes with costs, too.

If you have a lower credit score, and most lenders do risk -based pricing, so a lower credit score gets you a higher interest rate,

all else being equal, well, that is going to add to that monthly payment.

And consumers are facing higher gas prices and higher costs overall.

There's three dials you can turn to do a deal to make a vehicle more affordable.

There's the income of the buyer.

There's the price of money, interest rate, and there's the cost of the vehicle.

And there's no relief coming on any of those three anytime soon.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
