why Is $25,000 Being Magic For Cars?

I learned this in Vegas. I turn $3,000 dollars into $25,000 in cash.

why Is $25,000 Being

Magic For Cars?


There is no similarity the video you watch above,but one thing,if you can turn $3000 dollars into $25,000 in cash what do you do with this?

Do you buy a car ?

How much car can you get for $25,000? More than you might think.

From two-seat convertibles to sport-utility vehicles, family sedans and minivans, a wide range of new vehicles can be purchased for that price or less. Chevrolet's hot-selling 2010 Camaro LT muscle car costs $23,880. It comes with air conditioning, power-operated windows, locks and seats, a CD player and a 304-horsepower engine. It isn't the most powerful version of the car or the most luxurious, but it looks sharp and gets attention.

A Honda Accord EX sedan with a four-cylinder engine and automatic transmission costs $24,630. A well-equipped diesel-powered Volkswagen Jetta station wagon that gets 41 miles per gallon costs $24,615. Toyota's mid-level Prius hybrid goes for $23,800.

People perceive $25,000 as a price they can manage, analysts say -- without having to settle for a low-end car such as a Hyundai Accent Blue ($9,970) or a Chevrolet Aveo ($11,965). Car makers, facing a prolonged sales slump, are trying to keep prices below that perceived sweet spot in order to lure recession-weary consumers.

Subaru sells most of its cars for just under $25,000, spokesman Michael McHale says. The auto maker lowered the price of its top-of-the line 2010 Outback by $1,100, in part to help keep the model's average price down.

Crucially, at $25,000, buyers can keep monthly car payments between $400 and $500 on a four-year loan with an interest rate of 6.56% and a down payment, trade-in or combination equal to 20% of the sticker price, according to Bankrate.com. Lower-cost loans are more important for buyers than in the recent past because lease offers have been cut back substantially and are harder to find.

Often, a $25,000 sticker gets customers into showrooms, where dealers assume buyers will wind up spending closer to $30,000 after adding options, tax, and registration and document fees, car companies and industry analysts say. "If you want to end up paying $25,000, you should start with a car in the low 20s," says Philip Reed, senior consumer advice editor for, a market-research Web site.

The sweet spot itself keeps rising. A decade ago, consumers searched for cars for less than $20,000 -- a price that allowed you to get a mid-range Honda Accord, a low-end Ford Explorer or a Camaro, but not an entry-level BMW.

Of course, there are things a driver must give up with the typical $25,000 car, including leather seats, navigation systems and eight-cylinder engines. A full-size pickup truck is available for well below $25,000, but not the family-friendly four-door model. Seven- or eight-passenger minivan: yes. Rear-seat DVD screens: no.
