On average, AutoNews reports that 3.58 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds and 2.62 percent of 30- to 39-year-olds have been late on their auto loans by at least 90 days. For some context, just 2.13 percent of all borrowers are late. Keep in mind, these numbers are overall. In the first quarter of 2023, 4.55 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds were at least 90 days late. 3.66 percent of 30- to 39-year-olds were equally late. We haven’t seen numbers like these since The Great Recession.

Considering millenials are reaching middle age now, I can't help but read this like the boomer "avocado toast" memes when you call us "young people."

You should do some more research on new car buyer demographics. Young people, if buying new, are buying the cheap little econoboxes while every other segment is being purchased by 55-60 year olds. Those are the people buying $50k-$100k vehicles.
