    If they are to high just sell what you have. I can’t imagine an average used car costing anywhere near 40,000 USD

      If they sell their current car first, what do they use in the interim? Most places in the US do not have any public transportation to speak of, and those that do are not reliable or frequent enough to get anywhere on time.

      Sorry, this sounds weird to me. If I need a car, but cars are too expensive I should sell mine to buy another? So if I have a beater on its last legs, I should not have a problem buying a working beater because my broken one will be worth more?

      Try this same argument with houses, unless you don’t plan on living in one the math does not work.

        True but that’s not the majority. Anyway you can always buy something cheaper. I would go for something that’s hail damaged or messed up cosmeticly as the price for those will be much lower

          … And then spend twice or thrice the buying price fixing random things that break in a car that spends most of its time parked at the mechanic.
