You’re telling me a dealership somewhere in the USA was selling a brand new ICE for ~$5k a mere twelve years ago?
Iirc the cheapest new car in the US market then was the Versa. And it was not $5k.
- wharvle 3y agoYeah, that’s what they did. Maybe it was closer to 2010? Wouldn’t have been earlier. Dealerships do sell under sticker with some regularity. Or they used to, LOL. [edit] after some googling, I think they were two-door base-model (very base) Chevy Aveos. But I could have that wrong.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoThat’s crazy. I always knew you could hassle but didn’t realize you could get that much off!
- wharvle 3y agoTo be fair, I don’t think they’d have gotten a single one for $5k or less, and only got that price by buying the pair, and I think the new model years were about to arrive or just had. But they were new cars!
- judge2020 3y agoThe cheapest Chevy from 2010 I can find is the 2010 Aveo LS at $11,965. My only guess is that it was some 2010 model that had been sitting for 10+ months and they needed to get them off the lot. Even with this, a new Aveo for $12k in 2010 would now be ~$17k with inflation. New cars today seem to be around $17k and that includes the Versa and the Mirage. Of course wages haven't risen with inflation but that's another can of worms.
