That's because the cheapest trims are still way too fucking expensive. If I'm gonna pay $35k for a car, I might as well pay $39k to get the extra bits. But I only want to spend $20k on a car

You can get a brand new Venue for $20,000, a Trax for not much more. And that’s just MSRP. But that’s my point exactly. Most car buyers think the same thing you just described. “I might as well pay a little more and get the extra bits”

 Can you find a dealership with a brand new base model car?

Me personally? The nearest Hyundai dealer from me has an SE Venue sitting on the lot, according to their site, yeah. But that probably varies by market.
