If gas goes to $10.00/gal my plan is to pick one of those behemoths up for 10 cents on the dollar.
Good for you. I would have laughed in their face as I grabbed a handful of candy on my way out.
” I’ll get a new set of all-terrain tires for it-all at a fraction of what I’d pay in the city “
That part I don’t understand. Often more competition and volume drives prices down. But I order tires from TireRack and other online sources anyway.
We are in a Recession now if you use the standard of two quarters of declining GDP and don’t cook the books to not show it. First quarter was down and this quarter ending now is down unless you alter standards to make it appear otherwise.
I get cash offers almost every day for it. I might keep it another year. At this rate, I may sell it for more than I paid for it - of course, with Bidenflation, what I paid for it is 2017 dollars - but still .
The new car market is going to crash too. Good used cars will be King. No one can afford a 100 thousand dollar F150.EV’s are a pipe dream since there’s no infrastructure for them. Only a liberal thinks producing electricity can be done with unicorn farts and just wait till EV buyers figure out when you hit your limit on charge cycles, you basically just throw the car away. You don’t just pop the hood and throw in a new battery and drive away.
Sweet ride. Ford should bring that back but they won’t because they’re committed now to only EV starting in 2030 or something
Me too
The mechanic’s son manages a discount tire shop in the next county-that is where the tires will come from-I would order from TireRack-I priced them there before I looked anywhere else-but tires are something I like to see before I pay-I guess I’m just weird that way...
You mean all those people conned into living in those swarms of multi-level, multi-unit apartment buildings with limited parking spaces and no individual charging facilities aren't running out buying electric cars?
They heard gas lines were bad. Just wait.
I’m glad I sold my older vehicles when I did. Lost very little on a Jeep (almost seven years old) and truck (almost six years old). Total depreciation between the two was about $8600. I did pay MSRP for a new Subaru, but even during a buyers’ market, the best I could expect was a little over $1000 off MSRP. There’s only one dealer within hundreds of miles, so playing one against another is not an option.
I have a 2016 Mazda CX5. In December, KBB said it was worth $17,000.00 give or take. I recalculated today and it came out to $21,800.00. It cost me $26,000.00 new, six years ago.
The word does not mean what they think it means.
I have a 2016 Ram 3500, worth 15k more than I paid for it new. Not giving it up though, couldn’t replace it... cheaper to keeper.
