JD Vance Roasted For Wrongly Claiming Average New Car Costs $50K Per Year: ‘Just Making Sh*t Up’

Vice presidential candidate JD Vance was roasted on social media for claiming new cars cost $50,000 annually — and blaming Vice President Kamala Harris for it.

Vance on Wednesday was in Byron Center, Michigan, for a campaign rally. During his speech, he listed a variety of everyday costs that he claimed are more expensive as a direct result of the current administration.

“Under Kamala Harris, gas prices are up 50%,” Vance said, “and I know we’re a trucking company. You think truckers benefit when gas prices go up 50%? No, and neither do the people who depend on truckers, which is every single one of us.

Used car prices fall again in July, down nearly 20% from pandemic highs

Vehicle prices continued a downward trend in July — the most of any major category in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the last year as the car market continues its return to "normal" following pandemic-fueled inflation.

Used car prices fell 2.3% over the prior month in July and 10.9% from the prior year, data from the BLS revealed on Wednesday. New car prices fell 0.2% in July and 1.4% from the prior year.


Compared to their peak in February 2022, prices paid for used vehicles are now down 19.4%. Used car prices rose more than 40% annually in both June and July 2021, and again in January and February 2022. Prices for used cars and trucks are still 16.9% higher than in July 2019.

In July, headline CPI rose 0.2% over the previous month and 2.9% over the prior year, which was a slight deceleration compared to June's 3% annual gain in prices and also ahead of economist expectations of a 3% annual increase.
