Why Do Average New Car Prices Continue to Rise? The major automobile companies explain the increase of new car prices as due to company restructuring, the increased cost of raw materials and shipping, and costs to meet the new regulatory demands. After the U.S. bailout of the major automobile manufacturers, one of the demands from congress was a need for these companies to restructure to achieve long-term viability, energy efficiency, lower emission requirements and a plan to repay the bailout loans. Changes in Demands For many years, large SUV style vehicles were in demand. These vehicles have a higher purchase price and are more expensive to maintain and insure. With the slower economy, many of these vehicles went unsold. For this reason and the increasing demand for more economical and cost-efficient cars the manufacturers have to restructure their facilities to build these models. New Technologies With the increase of fuel imports and higher prices for imported oil, there are stronger regulations for fuel economy. Besides increasing the standard fuel economy of the current models, many auto manufacturers are looking to increase vehicle types that run on alternative fuels such as electric-powered, or bio-fuels. These new technologies add expenses to the auto manufacturers in the developing vehicles to run on these alternative fuels. Increased Cost of Materials The increased cost of steel is another contributing factor in the purchase price of new vehicles. With the lower demand for steel and other products, the only survival approach is to raise prices of their products. The money for these increased costs cannot solely be absorbed by the automobile manufacturers; they need to be added to the sales price. Incentives and Advertising Costs To increase the demand for a company's products, they need to be advertised and salesmen need an incentive to sell. To get the customers into the dealership showrooms, auto manufacturers spend millions of dollars on ad campaigns. They also offer larger bonuses to the dealerships for the sale of these selected models. With the increasing costs of operating a new car dealership, high competition, and the lower volume of sales, many dealerships are keeping these incentives and not passing the discounts to the customer. Import Taxes Many cars are manufactured outside the U.S., and need to be shipped. Also, many of the components for cars that are manufactured in the states are imported. With increased shipping fees, these costs also contribute to the price of new vehicles. Currency Fluctuations The value of all countries' currencies varies on a daily basis. When the value of U.S. currency drops, the cost of imported products increases. These increases cause the manufacturer to spend more for their imported products. Every increase of cost to a manufacturer affects the cost to produce, ship, advertise and sell their products. These costs, plus the need to make a profit are reasons the price of new cars are increasing. TL;DR Its almost as if parts and labor arent the only part of the cars price. edit: meant arent JB50 fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Nov 30, 2015 |

Youre out of your mind if you think this is fake. First of all its from a government agency. Second its from a bunch of silly people in the equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion team. Guarantee you its real as gently caress.

Fonzarelli posted:sorry i somehow don't believe that the middle of america has many actual immigrant populations from europe or asia, i would love some proof of some of these midwestern cities diversity if you want me to believe you are anything Over 75.0% of Minnesota's residents are of European descent, with the largest reported ancestries being German (38.6%), Norwegian (17.0%), Irish (11.9%), and Swedish (9.8%). The state has had the reputation of being relatively racially homogeneous, but that is changing.
