Once upon a time, car prices were much cheaper than truck, van, and SUV prices. You could buy a car for thousands of dollars less than you could purchase a larger vehicle for. Gas prices started to rise. Diesel prices started to rise. Soon, car dealerships had to make a decision. People were buying vehicles that were easy on gas. They were shying away from the larger, gas-guzzling units. In order to make a profit, they raised their car prices and lowered the prices on trucks, vans, and SUVs. If a car had a large engine, for instance a V8, the price was cheaper than the same car that contained a V6 or a 4 cylinder. Car dealers knew that people would be buying smaller vehicles with smaller engines, and they adjusted their prices accordingly. Gas and diesel prices have been dropping recently. Car prices should begin to fall. The demand for small vehicles and small engines will no longer be as great, so prices should get back to the way they once were. Cars will cost less. Larger vehicles will cost more. People will no longer need to consider gas and diesel prices when they are shopping for a new vehicle. They will no longer be trading their larger vehicles in on small cars. They will once again shop for the vehicles that they want rather than the vehicles that they need. People will be able to buy the vehicles of their dreams, car dealers will make a profit, and everyone will live happily ever after – that is until gas and diesel prices rise again.
