He said 7.5% decrease. No thanks.

I hope all dealers choke on their inventory. Im driving my older truck til the wheels fall off.

This is me. Mine is 7 years old, and I'll drive it another 7 at this point.

My car is 4 years old and I really want a truck, but I won't be getting one until I can pay cash. These vehicles cost too much alone, let alone adding finance charges on top of that.

while also slashing prices for the all-electric F-150 Lightning by as much as 7.5 percent.

A whole 7.5%!?

Golly gee mister!

I was really interested when they first announced because they were also very inexpensive. But, they've had one problem after another and gone up way too high. Sounds like a problem I wouldn't want to own for even free right now.

The only way to offer low interest rates is to buy down the interest which just gets rolled into the price. The only way to do what you're proposing is if the fed tanks interest rates again.

Yes but Ford can take a hit on their profit margin and still move vehicles if they wanted to.

I adamantly believe trucks are overpriced, but to expect prices to be the same as 8-9 years ago is a bit disingenuous. You have to at least reasonably expect prices to increase at the rate of normal inflation, not in the least considering the cost of Biden inflation.

It's not just trucks that are expensive. Sedans are up 50% too.

Mechanics aren't cheap either. But they are cheaper than a new car. The best thing you could have done is bought in 2020, but you can't go back in time.
