Next Episode: E30: Car Buying Today vs. Pre-Pandemic: An Interview with the Alberts Family

In this episode, I explore the death of the affordable new car, with average new car prices rising to over $46,000 recently (up from $39,000 in December 2020). I'll discuss why the average price has jumped so dramatically, why this issue has flown under the radar, and my thoughts on how this will trend over the next few years.

I'm also revisiting a previous rental car roulette selection, the Mazda CX-30 2.5S Select.
