“What’s the FR braintrust think about how to approach new vehicle purchase these days?”
Private sale if you can find one. I bought a nearly-new F150 Ford for $31K cash this past year. I love it.
List/lot price was $45K.
Yep, I recently bought a low-mileage 2016 F150, knew the owner who bought it new, knew it had been well maintained, was not used for heavy hauling. Great truck, love it. It should easily last me until I can’t drive any more. Kept my old truck for dirty work.
