People need to learn to read what it is they're signing up for, those that can't shouldn't, those that encourage those that can't should STFU. Big problem I see is the 'wanters', ex: mid twenties kid that I work with, recently married, new house, new truck, new bass boat, new car all within the past two years. Debt, debt, debt and debt. I just shake my head at it but I'm an old fashioned 'saver' who doesn't borrow $ just because I can't control my 'wants'.

I forgot about that....bought an 87 Gt new for 1k over sticker price...I think it was about 15k. The first year of the funky skirts. But I didn't have to pay for that one, got it as a company car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vehicles (especially trucks) are usually going for more than what people paid new. Why would you let the thing go into default. Sell it and buy a shit box with the profit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I don't understand is the person who shows up at a new car lot and buys the used one that is the same price as a comparable spec brand new one. Who buys the 1-2 year old trucks and SUV's for the same price as new? What am I missing out on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't uncommon to see a 1 year old pickup with 5-10k on it for almost the same price as a brand new one that is sitting on the lot. It isn't all that common, but not uncommon either.

Similar “20-“21 Ford F-150’s with 20k miles are $10-15k less than the new “22’s around here. Many of the new “22’s are missing key options as well. Like heated seats.

Prices are jumping all over. I’ve been looking for one more to covert for another rental. Unless they’re beat to smithereens, prices remain in the 40’s and 50’s.

Was shocked at the low( 2-3 units) of superdutys. And this place is pretty much a truck dealer. 95 % of their inventory is usually trucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
