One in four new-car buyers is now signing a 7-year loan

A decade ago, that would have gotten you laughed out of the dealership. Today it's one in four buyers.

COST OF LIVING • VEHICLES & TRANSPORTATION

That’s the average monthly payment on a new car in America. Edmunds just reported it for Q3 — an all-time record. Up from $756 a year ago. Up from $614 five years ago. The average amount financed hit $44,664… also a record… at an average rate of 7%. And the part that would’ve gotten you laughed out of a dealership a decade ago — one in four buyers is now signing an 84-month loan. Seven years. You could buy a truck today and still owe on it when your grandkid starts kindergarten.

A Drone Expert Is Making Flying Cars Real

In 2016, after years working on military drones, Doron Merdinger began sketching a flying car. He saw how quickly the tech had advanced. Soon, people would fly from driveways. So he built Doroni.

It’s great timing, too. The urban air mobility market is worth $4.8B today. By 2040, Morgan Stanley puts it at $1 trillion. By 2050, $9 trillion. 

And with 600+ reservations for Doroni’s aircraft and $240M+ in potential revenue already, the demand for this innovation is undeniable. 

But that's only scratching the surface of why 14,000+ investors have already joined.

  • Disruption: The H1-X is purpose-built for personal ownership while competitors chase commercial contracts, capturing a market segment most are overlooking.

  • Technology: Their SOUL AI™ platform makes personal flight intuitive and safe, setting Doroni apart with intelligent systems competitors don't have.

  • Opportunity: For a limited time, Doroni is offering everyday investors the chance to become early-stage shareholders for just $3.30/share.

Now, after unveiling the full-sized showroom prototype of their H1-X personal aircraft in March, they’re preparing to start test flights with the FAA next year.

By 2028, they’re targeting the first commercial deliveries. By 2032, they’ve got a $1.4B annual revenue target. Which is why the timing of this raise couldn't be better.

The last time Doroni was open to investors, the opportunity maxed out in less than 100 days. 

But you can claim an early-stage stake in Doroni today.

Invest at $3.30/share.

When a quarter of buyers need seven years to pay off an average car, the car loan isn’t a convenience anymore — it’s a second mortgage.
