jdsky Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Man twenty plus minutes of saying the same thing over and over and over again. Sold two cars in my fleet this year because I knew this was coming. Both times from dealers writing me checks. It was nice for a change vs. haggling over a trade in price. In both instances they paid way above what the cars should have been worth. Bought my wife's Mazda back in July of 20' just before covid car prices hit. Dealer had more of them on the lot than at any other time I had been there for the past 3 years so I was able to buy a $49K stickered vehicle for $40K. I normally replace her car every three to four years. I just checked their inventory. They went from having zero cars 6-8 months ago so order at MSRP to now having 70 cars (of the model she drives) on the lot right now. Inventory is starting to build fast and they are currently discounting $2.5K off sticker at the moment. Won't need to buy for another 6-12 months so hopefully things will slowly keep getting back to normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Got out of the new vehicle bs in May of 2020. Bought an older Duramax before prices went through the roof for cheap, with cash. It’s been nice to dump that $400-$500 a month lease payment into something that’s making me money. It’s also kind of fun to have a bit of a project vehicle again too. Now there isn’t a vehicle in my garage newer than a 2006 and the lowest mileage vehicle just rolled 190k last week. Once my house projects are done, and shop is built in my pole barn, I may look into something newer for the wife. She really likes her old Jeep though so for now, it stays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Danger Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 The new car lots are starting to fill up around here a little. Inventory or lack there of has driven the used market for the last few years. I am starting to see a change on the power sports side as dealers have vehicles they have not seen in a few years.

The same optioned sled in a 23' is now $20K. I will be keeping my sled for a long time to come unless prices settle back to some sort of reality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 Other than that piece of shit Mercedes sprinter, I bought my last 3 cars from auction. High mileage, one owner. The Toyota sienna is still running for the guy I sold it too. Over 475,000 miles and everything is original except for two sets of tires and a cat since he bought it from me.

The 18 was 5g less than I paid for the same trim. The 21 was same as the 18 with extended warranty. My 23 will be more but I'm going up to a 450 with the HO deisel and going to a limited trim. I'll be out 8g after trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
