I have a used truck id love to trade in, especially at current prices. Problem is id have to pay a real premium for another truck. So it’s all relative.


I can wait for it to cool down and then my trade in isn’t worth a shite and a new truck is still priced high. Not sure what I’m going to do at this point, but holding out for it to “cool off” doesn’t seem like a great strategy either if you really need a vehicle.



I'd have to see the prices of each and do the math. But what about sell high and lease?

Obviously you would need prices to come down when the lease is out. But if you can deal with a leased vehicle for a year, could still come out on top.

Because new cars being imported has been cut by like in 4. Blame the virus and idiot Democratic Governors, Gavin Newsom in particular, who is fricking over the supply line with his idiot regulations on the docks. Business owners and salesmen are looking at container ships off the beaches of Southern California with binoculars knowing their product is there, but it’s going to be another three months before they get it. People are spitting bullets in the Western half of the US over what Newsom has done and it’s fricking up the rest of the country too.

You might be holding off for a while.


Try July 2022 at best. That’s the best case scenario when the US supply lines are fully restored, and by then China may conquer Taiwan since they really, really want their little Olympics, it will be over by 6 months, and Taiwan produces all those lovely computer chips we love so much.

This board’s keenest investors has been waiting for “the prices to drop in Lakeview, that bubble is way too high” since 2014

How has that worked out?


To be fair, used vehicles and equipment are the only things that will go down in price next year. It has everything to do with the supply lines and not much to do with inflation.

People who think they are getting a good deal at $400 over invoice screw it up for everyone else.

I have a third vehicle that I could get rid of. '03 Tahoe with 203,000 miles with a cold AC and no rust. Probably worth more to me as a spare ride than I could get for it.

I've got a 16 platinum f150 with 65k miles on it. Payoff is 30. Kbb is saying I can get 41 for it.

I have a company car, my truck sits at the house all day almost every day. This is an interesting idea.

You could easily get 41k all day.

See this is where I fudged up and just went with another Chrysler because it was cheap.

It ain't worth shite now compared to other used.
