I got curious about new trucks last week. I got the 2015 Ram Cummins for $42k out the door back when. Price to play for a diesel HD truck is $75k now. I remember cheaper houses 20 years back. Even worse all the blue book sites were telling my truck was only worth like $22k. I said %&^$ that noise I'll do some more upgrades to the Ram instead of making a house payment on a vehicle.... Cost of one payment and I've got heated/cooled leather seats with extra gel pads to boot....A dealer might reduce their profit margin to make a sale of what they have in stock instead of continuing to incur carrying costs, but they aren't likely to buy inventory from a manufacturer to sell it at a loss.
It wasn't so long ago that a 3br 2 bath brick house could be purchased for what they are selling compact skid loaders these days.
