New Car Average Price Jumps To Nearly $50,000

WPTV— The average cost of a new vehicle is approaching $50,000—an increase of about 30% over the past six years—while monthly payments have risen to roughly $775, placing growing strain on middle-class buyers. Much of the surge is driven by automakers focusing on pricier SUVs and trucks, phasing out more affordable models, and adding advanced technology and safety features that push prices even higher. As a result, budget-friendly cars are becoming scarce, with vehicles under $30,000 now accounting for only about 13% of the market, a sharp decline from recent years. To manage costs, many buyers are extending loan terms to six or seven years, opting for used vehicles, or keeping their current cars longer, though even used car prices remain relatively high.

WEAR TV3— A 62-year-old Crestview woman, Karen Kroll, has been arrested by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office and faces 22 counts of aggravated animal cruelty and 42 counts of animal cruelty following an investigation into severe neglect. Authorities say more than 70 animals—including dogs, two donkeys, and a pig—were found at her Auburn Road property in poor condition after a tip about her at-home rescue, Aussie and Me Animal Rescue. Deputies reported many animals lacked proper food and water and showed clear signs of neglect. The animals were removed on March 25 with assistance from the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), and a veterinarian determined they had suffered prolonged neglect causing significant harm.
