The best kept secret in the world is what a vehicle actually costs, and where the dealer makes a profit. I'm guessing that at $24K, the dealer still made a buck or two!!!

Dealer told me a few weeks ago they are selling more cars now, with none on their lot, than ever before. And because of the “ shortage”, they are selling at MSRP and above. I gotta believe they are under ordering to keep the deal going.

or a Samuari…

Best $1050 I ever spent…
Yep, they are a good buy. A Jeep is more durable and cheaper to keep running. But Sami's are okay.

Well, I am noticing a change. Thers 5-10 tractors trucks and trailers I am “watching“ on line and getting notices that they about 1/2 of them have dropped in price.

I am making moves on 2 of them.

I think it’s because interest rates are in the high single digits and there’s a lot fewer potential buyers. We are in a recession, but its about to take a turn for the worse.
Fuel going up to where it was before they sold off the strategic reserves.

Bought mine in 1997 with transmission trouble... paid the 1050 and drove home... pulled transmission and replaced the bad bearing and while I was at it the clutch disk.

In 25 years only battery and oil changes plus 2 tires...

It works very hard mostly towing and hauling fuel for the tractors... many 1 yard gravel loads...

I’m seeing a lot of tractor ads recently… finance and rebate offers. BOA is projecting 170,000 job losses per month moving into 2023.

If only someone had predicted this…

Oh, and Pfizer admits they never tested the MRNA vaccine against transmission of Covid. 😂

I can’t wait to see what we learn over the next 10 years

I've driven most vehicles made out to work sights. The last time I drove our small sized truck out to one, we later said "never again" and got an atv with a box. Today we are using the 2nd one we've owned to access work in the field. Don't care what Samuari's or Jeeps cost…
