Trucks! Geez....

[Doofy]

I would even buy an "old school" non- computerized vehicle if available. At least, I could work on them myself.

Too bad the rest of it is marginal.

Do you realize how stupid and narrow minded you sound..

Not only are the prices of trucks outrageous, New Snowmobiles are running between $4K-$18K. I thought I would upgrade until seeing that.

There has to be a market and folks willing to be fleeced.

And, like autos the used market follows. When mine dies, that's the end of riding for me. Each year the riding season seems to get shorter and shorter...no way am I gonna pay that kind of money for something I'm only able to use a couple months a year.
And I live right on a trail (one of the state corridor trails crosses my property), glad I dont' need to trailer it to ride!

I was looking at electric Sleds and those start at $17K. I sure would like to try one though.

I ordered a 2022 Ram 3500 Limited Longhorn on 7/7/21 and got it delivered mid November 2021. My window sticker was $86,775 back then, I went to the RAM build website and picked out my exact options today.... $90,705. And at midnight tonight Ram is tacking on an additional $1300 to the base price of 3500 series trucks making my window sticker if ordered tomorrow $92,005. I was lucky and got my truck ordered at invoice minus $500 TrueCar voucher from my employer, $78,900 was my pre-tax and crap price. She's an expensive date, but damn if she isn't pretty! And I still daily drive my 2004 Grand Prix that has just under 150K miles on it. The car is nearly done though, the underneath is literally falling apart from rot. The outside and interior are in very good condition, and it runs perfectly. What a shame that they destroy our vehicles with the de-ice chemicals up here. Everyone thinks my car is in great shape... because walking past it you can't tell it is near dead underneath.

Mine is a 2004 Chevy 1500 W/T salvage titled. I've hit a deer with it and had a tree come across the hood on it. Rebuilt it every time, hauls my tractor like a champ. Have 99k miles on it.......will use it until it falls apart.

So, doing the math, if someone were to buy one today (which will be at MSRP+), it would be at least $92,005, a sixteen percent increase on what you paid last summer.

I just hope nobody has to buy a new vehicle any time soon...

All the best,

Peter

It seems like a fools game to buy a new vehicle now.

I guess it just depends on how much disposable income you have.
At these prices, I don’t think I want to play the game.

Prices of used vehicles have gone up too. If you need a vehicle, you're stuck paying higher prices than a few years ago.

If you merely want a vehicle, well maybe prices will go down in a few years. Or maybe they won't. Meanwhile, you're getting older.
