We reported in January that the average price paid for a new vehicle in the US has hit a new record, again, with a typical driver spending a whopping $50,326 if they want to be a car’s first owner. That’s the average sale price, meaning that, while it includes plenty of drivers spending $30,000 or less on new Nissans and Kias, it also covers people spending close to $100,000 on full-size pickups and hybrid SUVs.
