You guys are spending $40k on a car??
That's nuts.

The price of new cars has gone insane since covid. I regularly watch car reviews and the prices are always shocking - SKODA's costing nearly £40,000, which a few years ago would have got you a decent BMW or Merc.

I'm not, but people are. There's plenty of brand new cars on the roads here.

My parents have two Toyota RAV4s one at $23000 the other at $25000 -- $31000 or something (don't remember cuz it's not my car lol), one was pre-covid, the other was post-covid.

I don't have a license, I suppose I could borrow one if I need to to somewhere (if they have a good mood, that is)
