Oh yeah easily! They’ll keep selling them though without an issue because people will buy them. Usually heavy duty diesel trucks keep their value pretty well over a course of 5 years, but at 100k that’s going to be a very different story. I think we’ll start to see some people taking larger hits on trade in values on these in a few years. No way I’d spend anywhere close too 100k for a heavy duty pickup.

Every actual tradesman I know is in an LT or XLT etc and every poser that has no business being in a 3/4 ton is in a High Country or Platinum. Pretty comical.

This all happened in the last real estate bubble. Everyone had a new 60k truck (which was highend at the time). Not sure how they will make 1500/mo payments if things dry up again. The next 12 months are going to be interesting.
Say it louder.

more price dips ?
Wholesale prices up over 4% since Jan 1st. I see them continuing to rise for next few months. After tax season used car dealers will head to auctions to replenish their inventory and will overpay. Auction inventories are very low, new car sales are down and no one is trading in vehicles. This is driving the wholesale market up and then used vehicle prices for consumers.
It’s gonna be worse cause people bought cheaper cars in 2007/2008. Best selling cars from that period included Altima, Camry, Civic and Accord. Today the Camry is the only sedan on the top 10 list.
Also, maybe I am reading the numbers wrong but I think a top of the line F-150 maxed out at under $40k MSRP for the 2008 model year. Wasn’t that long ago trucks were utility vehicles and not luxury vehicles

Exactly. In 2008, the F-150 maxed out at $40k. Today the mid-trim Lariat starts at $57k (and almost $64k if you add in all wheel drive and destination charge). And the Lariat trim is the one most people buy - which explains why the average new F-150 costs $59k.
For comparison, a 2008 Camry XLE started at $25,000 in 2008 and now starts at $32k after destination. Similar numbers exist for most other Japanese sedans. Inflation is not the primary driver of truck price increases.

Are used car prices going up again? I’ve been getting quotes on one of my cars and what they are telling me is higher than just a month or so ago by a few thousand.

Not sure if peak but factoring $400+ in monthly savings due to lack of fuel bills is completely insane. Marketing department needs a head check.

Fine print must be 82,000 miles a year and utility cost of $0.95 /kWH🤪
Plus, don’t they know that $500 a month is the going rate for that car 
With the fuel savings….its FREE!

Tesla does this on their website. I was checking out the pricing of the Model 3 and they were taking off around $4,200 for fuel savings in addition to the Federal and State EV incentives to arrive at a net price.
Our world is now 24/7 bs.

I just sold my ‘22 RX but Carvana just gave me a higher quote than a couple weeks ago.
Here is the progression of their offers:
12/28/22 5,800mi $40.9k
1/18/23 6,000 $45.3k
2/14/23 6,000 $46.5k
2/23/23 6,300 $42k
3/4/23 6,600 $43.2k
Such a wacky market.
The car market has the volitility of the stock market now.
But everything is driven by algos these days. My kid just got an apartment and the price changed daily until he put a deposit on it.
Dystopia is only intensifying…
