I buy what my meager wage allows me to afford...
Make an EV that competes on price with a Corolla and I'll be there.
Yeah, big words from rivian. Trucks that cost more than a luxury SUV.
Even then. My Corolla cost under $15k brand new off the lot. It’s not the base model either. The base model for the 23 Corolla is almost $22k. Car prices are insane.
The only new car still sold in the US for under $20k is the Mitsubishi Mirage, and even that model will likely be phased out in the next few years. I also wouldn't recommend buying one, as, speaking from experience, it tends to roll over in a slight breeze.
Weird, I've had one for years and it hasn't flipped over once.
20k is way too much for one, but I bought mine new for 14k. It's an economy car, not a Mercedes, not a sports car. And they're 100% better if you get one with a manual transmission.
