"[...] demand for 'cheaper' used vehicles increased even more than new ones. In fact, the past year has seen an increase of 13% for the average price of a new vehicle, according to Edmunds. Used prices have exceeded new, with an average price rising 29% over the same time."
"EDMUNDS SAYS: It was a tight race, but due to its classic looks, premium interior and potential for higher performance, the Audi Q7 edges out the MDX by a fraction of a point. That said, if you want more cargo area and greater value for your dollars, you can’t go wrong with the Acura MDX."
"Edmunds compares the ridiculously powerful Ram TRX and iconic Ford F-150 Raptor off-road beast to the all-new Rivian R1T electric truck. As far as acceleration, performance, and off-road prowess are concerned, these trucks are all in a different league than most rivals. However, the question is, can the R1T hang with the gas-burning big dogs? In more general terms, is electric power better than gas?"
"The traditional “20/4/10 rule” of car buying states that you should make a 20% down payment, have a loan no longer than four years, and a total monthly car budget that does not exceed 10% of your take-home pay. But the reality is only 6% of new car shoppers actually followed that advice in March, according to Edmunds sales data. The average loan term for a new or used car has steadily increased over the last decade and is now about 70 months."
"Which Electric Car Is Best for the Environment and Your Budget? Here's a list of the most affordable and eco-friendly green vehicles rated according to Edmunds."
"EDMUNDS SAYS: Unless you want your hair blowing in the wind and the sun shining down on your face with the top down, the Subaru BRZ is the winner of this comparison. Like the Miata RF, it’s fun to drive and handles like a dream, but it’s priced lower and offers more room, power and practicality."
"Chances are, with used prices as high as they are right now, the value of your vehicle is going to be much higher than predicted when you started your lease three years ago," said Edmunds' analyst Jessica Caldwell.
"Generally speaking, it is almost always less expensive to repair a car than buy a new one. Even something as severe as an engine or transmission rebuild will cost you roughly $1,200 to $5,000 — far less than buying a new car. And while $3,000 to $5,000 would make a nice down payment, you'd still need to consider the monthly payment, which is $637 on the average new car with a 70-month loan, according to the latest Edmunds data. Used cars might not be much relief either, as the average payment hit a record $535 in late February."
"The number of people browsing for green vehicles has increased in recent weeks as gas prices climbed, according to Edmunds. Availability of electric vehicles is scarce; of all the vehicles for sale at one Illinois dealership, only one is fully electric."
"Gee, it sure would be a nice time to own an electric vehicle. A bunch of people apparently agree. The car-shopping company Edmunds says that searches for hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery electric vehicles jumped nearly 40 percent over the past month—up 18 percent in the first week of March alone."
