Anybody been vehicle shopping lately.......

[jltrent]

I checked around a few dealer lots as I must be behind times. Talk about sticker shock, a 70k-80k pickup truck is pretty normal if they have any on the lot. I saw a $74,000 Ford F-250 eco boost platinum on one lot.

There is a reason my newest vehicle in the fleet is a recently acquired 2006 f150.

A lot of them are going for above MSRP. Supply and demand, low supply and people are still buying so the price goes way up.

Local GM dealer has hardly anything on the lot.

Haven't looked or been interest in lookin since last May.... It was a want and not a need.

Local dealer offered to buy my 2018 Silverado Z71 Crew cab for what I paid for it three years ago with 40K miles on it. They have very low inventory right now.

I'm shopping for a mid-sized truck right now. Been shopping for 2 months.

Nothing out there.

I wonder what happened to all of those Ford trucks that were sitting at the speedways and such? Surely someone has figured out how to make the chips by now.

I'll tell you what you don't see right now is adds for rebates, low financing come on down special.
I get emails every day wanting to buy my boat or truck!
Some quotes of 8k over what I paid for my boat last year.
Problem is there is nothing out there to replace it.
It's the same on trucks, tractor, utv, boats etc.
Our supply chain is broken we have outsourced until we're screwed.

Biden and Buttefudge will fix it

By raising interest rates (lol).

Ditto what CB said. I get calls & emails all the time, wanting to buy my truck. I don't need a new one, but I'd sell it for their ridiculous offer IF there was anything comparable to replace it with. We ordered new Polaris Rangers last August and just got them a few weeks ago.

I saw a 10 year old F250 a couple of weeks ago for about 35K. It is the chip shortage causing the problem.

Problem is if you sell yours what do you replace it with?

 

[alacowman1]

If you already have a decent truck you can live with..best to hang on to it..

I just said I saw it. I am not selling anything. Heck, if I could find a good 90's 250 I would be all over it (at a reasonable price).

I had a 1980 purchased for $4100 in 1984, sold it in 1994 for $4000 to buy a used F150. Wish I hadn't needed the money at the time and that I still had that old Toyota -- it would have doubled in value by now.

Straight axle, 22r motor and a 5 spd. right? If the frame doesnt rust in two right behind the cab and you keep a few qts. of oil in it it will run forever. Heck even fixing the frame is pretty easy done a couple of them. They go anywhere and can be fixed with a Home Depot homeowner tool box. Easy to see why everybody loves them, wish I had mine back!
