I wouldnt worry Oosik, its all going to come crashing down soon.
Once interest rates go up later this year and next year, buying will slow way down and the covid excuses end, itll be a buyers market again.

Long ago the Forrest Service had Power Wagons. Two door - six cylinder. Used for lighting strike fires - rapid deployment - fire suppression. Thats where I learned to love those old vehicles. 400 gallon water tank and 36" hydraulically controlled single disk out back. Off we would go - cross country - disking and hosing small start ups. Summers between my JR - SR year in high school.

A lighting bolt would hit a steel T-post barbed wire fence. Could start a fire with a half mile front.

I was young - I was fearless - the days were long - the adrenaline flowed like a mighty river. Four of us young fellows on each power wagon. Driver - navigator - fire suppression - hydraulic disk operator.

Your findings and mine are the same. Complete ridiculousness
Thee and me. My old '97 Chevy half-ton is in fact 'getting old'. Friends and family are constantly telling me "buy yourself a new or newer truck".

If I priced my used Chevy the way the fool company Banner Ford is pricing that 3/4 ton, I'd be asking more than the $15K that I paid when new. Although it only has 135K on the clock, tax value is only $684! I'm only driving about 2K per year on it though. Nah - my old truck is just fine for my limited needs. Banner can keep their pile of 'gold' right there on their lot and look at it every payday as far as I'm concerned. The day come come, soon I hope, that people will come to their senses.

If that was a Laramie or King Ranch, that price would be fair but for an XL, not so much.

I just can’t get over asking more than the original msrp for used. Just stupid

I belong to Ranger5g forum as well. Heard stories of getting more than they paid for truck on Carvana. Most were under 20k miles. My loaded 2019 Lariat Sport Supercrew I paid $38 before taxes. Now 24k miles, was offered $39.5 at one point. Some were $6k over what they paid. That's great, unless you need to buy another vehichle...

Yep. Inflation only works in your favor if liquidating an unneeded item.

Local big Morgan Hill Ford Store Presidents Day Sale says 160 new Ford's just in and as always NEVER a dealer markup.

Just posting for what it's worth plus incentives such as zero interest and various cash back with one being 750.00

Drive a little save a lot?

FYI, denigrating a specific dealer is against forum rules. Updated January 2022.

It is not just this particular dealer, it is industry wide. This is just one example of the stupidity in the auto industry
