The average amount consumers paid for a new vehicle last month was $48,510, 2.2 percent more than they spent in March.<\/p>\n<p>As Smoke noted, the shoppers had to spend more in April because incentives fell to 6.3 percent of the vehicle&rsquo;s value, from 6.6 percent a month earlier. The good news is that incentives are still way higher now than they were a year ago, when pent-up demand and restricted supply created the conditions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/03\/availability-of-affordable-vehicles-shrank-dramatically-over-last-five-years\/\">for an affordability crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In general, new vehicles are more budget friendly today than they were through the pandemic, despite the affordability backslide in April. And that&rsquo;s reflected in monthly payments. A year ago, the number of weeks of median income it took to buy a new car was 5.1 percent higher than it was in April 2024, so things are still better now, even if they&rsquo;re trending in the wrong
