2016 F250 Platinum with 6.7L and all bells and whistles= $70600 MSRP

You should be able to get this vehicle for $60,000
The right dealership and good haggling and you can get it for $57,500



And drive off the lot in a truck worth $45,000.

Do you know why vehicle prices are like that these days? Because people buy them faster than they can build them.

I know a guy who runs a Chevrolet dealership. He said they can't sell lower and mid grade vehicles for shite but it's stupidly easy to roll a decked out $60k SUV off the lot. They can't keep a Denali anything for a week.

It only cost them about $25,000 to make. If you want new you have to pay for it.

Personally I think its stupid to buy a vehicle with a price tag of $60,000 or above unless its making you money. If anyone finances it they are even dumber.

The current prices arent going to hold up. They are prices themselves out of business.

The prices are definitely going to hold up because people are paying them.

Why is that your number? What are you basing that off of?

Why? Interest rates are LOW. Your money has the potential to make more than you pay in interest...

With interest rates as low as they are, it's free money. You'd be stupid to not finance in most cases.

The fact it cost more than some houses

You are still losing money because of the depreciation of the vehicle. You lose close to 20% just driving it off the lot.

The economy will settle the prices. When inflation keeps rising while wages stutter, they wont be able to keep hiking the prices up if they want to sell.

Finance $60,000 because interest rates are low while losing $15,000 as soon as you drive it home is sound investing

Just stop man. You are steady going down hill. If you really think that Ford and the dealer are making a $35,000 margin on a $60,000 truck then anything else you say to me is retarded. If companies made that much on vehicles they would not need bailouts and have layoffs every time the wind blows.

To answer your other half baked statement who said in the first place that buying any vehicle new or used is a sound investment? It is a means of transportation and the rest is preference. If someone wants to buy new who gives a shite? For you to buy used someone has to buy new.

What houses? I live in a cheap house and it is way more expensive than any truck.

Vehicles don't depreciate 20% when you drive then off the lot. Used vehicles are sky high right now, which makes your position of not buying new make even less sense.

I agree, they seemed overpriced to me too, but there are no signs of vehicle prices slowing down. People are buying them left and right.

There are few things worse and I'm ashamed that I was so bad at recognizing it my whole life. Working in sales is some eye opening shite.

Yea because paying everyone from the janitor on up $38 or more per hour had nothing to do with that. When you build a shitload of something, the price per unit drops alot.

I actually used this statement in my negotiation for mine. I told the guy I had to pay less than my 1st house, which I bought for $39K.

Why do people think you can't get a good deal on a Ford or Chevy? I'm not following some of the comments in this thread that say it's impossible.

Played around with TrueCar just now. The screaming deals on the build I did were about 11% off of sticker. No idea if packages matter.
