Same, turning 25 in a month, still no car
Primarily because I'm very fucking poor and just getting the license costs over 2000€ already
You know what's funny, I recently read a CNBC business article that said auto-makers are saying consumers aren't buying enough electric and hybrid vehicles. That supply has outpaced demand. You know what they're not going to do, drop prices like basic economic theory says they should. According to auto-makers the problem wasn't that they over estimated how popular their products are, the problem is the consumers not living up to their expectations. If we were good little consumers we'd just take on more debt but apparently we're not cooperating.
