$75,000 for a decently apportioned pickup?

[H2O MAN]

I am so happy that I bought a used 2007 Toyota Tundra about 3 1/2 years ago for cash, the price was great and I have saved tens of thousands of dollars. There is no way in hell that I would ever buy a vehicle today, new & used prices are beyond insane.

I'm not touching any new or used car/truck until the market drops again.

Generally speaking that’s not how inflation works.

Same people who buy their 16 year old kids brand new vehicles then send the little entitlement assholes out into public and we have to deal with them. Yeti, costa and salt life stickers included

I laugh every time cause 90% of them just end up totaled in the first 3 months

Seems to be the desperate Cul-de-sac, suburban commandos are the ones buying them and Jeeps. Pathetic little people who want so bad to be someone else but realize they are stuck in their dismal suburban lives.

I agree, I really meant that I would be buying again when the market isn't against the buyer the way it is now. The lack of computer chips for vehicles isn't helping with the new car market, & I'm not really sure if it's the higher new car cost's or if it's the fact that everyone needs more money for their used stuff than ever before, I'm sure there's other factor's I haven't mentioned.

It just seems that after this "pandemic" started, prices for everything has risen & understandably so given manufacturing issues, but the used market has followed suit to a level that it's crazy to pay a premium for. If this situation is ever to occur again, let's call it a "Pandemic Inflation", it would be better for people to realize the outcome and know that the rise in prices won't be the new norm.

I believe once all of America starts working again, we'll start to see a rebound in the economy and prices leveling out again to more reasonable levels.

If you have a small business, and you should , then the cost of the pickups is tax deductible.
A buddy of mine buys a new fancy pickup every few years whenever his accountant tells him he’s either got to buy a pickup or pay the IRS a ton of money. his latest pickup he got last years was $66k
Said it hurt, that is cost more than a corvette, which he much would have preferred but a corvette isn’t tax deductible

Pretty sure its boomers buying them.

ain't Boomers, this Boomer just spent a total of 38K(almost half that 75K), for a bell & whistled Frontier 4X Pro

This becomes super evident on these holiday weekends like we just had. They flood our mountain towns to show off their codpieces.
