so ive been looking around for either a pickup or a durango.
older used models with 100k on them are literally going for the same if not at a higher price than bran new trucks out the factory. its just insane.
apperantly the used car/truck market is up almost 30%. the highest its ever been.
guess ill be waiting to buy a truck.
theres god news if your looking to sell your used truck or car tho. you'll get top $ for it!
Yeah, it's a crazy world. Got a call from the dealer on the 1 yr anniversary of buying my truck. I was offered 12K more than what I paid last year. Only issue, a new one with the same options is 30K more than last year.
Think I will stick with the devil I know.

I actually think if you can’t justify buying new vehicle outright. This is time to lease see what payments are. May be better off than buying a 5-6 year of vehicle that’s in need constant repairs
Lease prices are crazy too, with the shortage, they rarely give any deals.
I was thinking of getting out of my current lease, ppl offering incentives over my current payments to take over ! so I checked with the dealership and new ones are leased alot higher ...
I was searching for a new truck back in April and it was the same situation. Used trucks were way overpriced. GM had 0% financing and when I did the math it was actually cheaper to buy new. Luckily my old truck still ran and had a some life left in it because I just received my truck about 2 weeks ago.
It took about 4 hrs to sell my old truck when I listed it at full price.
Then last Saturday my son wrote off his car and I can’t believe the price of used cars now. The same vehicle he was driving that I bought 2 yrs ago for $4000 is now $7500. Still waiting on insurance for an offer so I’m preparing for a battle.

With gas prices moving up they way they are I think it's just better if we look around and wait for a decent deal. No rush if it take 2 or 3 months to find a good a deal then so be it . I was looking at one in Alberta lol. Take a week to go look at a truck.

When Gas hits $2.50/lt there'll be a lot of guys dumping the big gas guzzlers back onto the market and will drive prices down. Be good time to pick up a truck by assuming the other guys loan agreement from the dealer (if they still do that ?).Quote:

We just bought a new VW Taos, put about 500 miles on it, gets a crazy 55 mpg imp/45 mpg US, about 5.0 l/100km highway driving at 110-115 about 70 mph. Goes like pike snot and comfortable like a sofa. That's frugal. We had to wait about a month for the dealer to find one for us.
