Are ATVs/UTVs overpriced?

[Torvy]

Or a Jeep. I've got a WHOLE lot less money in my CJ7.

How does that dump bed work on your jeep?

Every picture you post shows you freezing your ass off.

Comfort is a big part of it. I use a Toyota truck in the winter becase...it has the best heater ever.

But you bundle up...

It's almost like some folks are more comfortable in certain climates than others, like we're all individuals. You presume he is freezing his ass off, but that's a matter of personal taste.

I loathe heat, and through I loathe cold too, I can add clothes. No one wants to see me get naked.

Torvy, I respectfully disagree. What it means to me, when I see this overpriced stuff still selling is, a lot of people do not understand how financing works, and what the total cost of financing will be. They decide they have to have it right now, it has to be bigger and or faster than their friends have, and they jump in with the lowest down payment possible, and the lowest monthly payment, stretched out to forever.

a 20", small wheel, 3.5 hp machine. As basic as it gets, and they used to be $99-$125, all day long. This one can be yours- not mine- for $319.00.

Hey, it only increased 200%

I paid $3500 for a like new Polaris Sportsman (6) years ago. Today it's worth more than that used, and a new one is about $10k

Prices are stupid... But people keep borrowing. They will stop someday.

We use it for work around the property, and it does a fair bit of small acreage field work. For $3500 it was a steal. I wont replace it until it's dead...

You can disagree on opinions. Pricing is a fact of Economics. Literally nothing can be overpriced unless it is not selling.

We're humans, we have a very narrow range of comfortableness...40-80 normally. Why do you think people spend so much money on UTV's with heat and AC?

It will take a lot to convince me that being exposed to snow, wet, cold, and wind are just an individual thing. Kind of like pissing on my leg to tell me it's raining.

I use to bomb around the ranch on my little 4 wheeler in the winter. I learned a long time ago it's miserable and got wiser.

A lie? I pay off my credit card every month and avoid all interest charges.
Is that so hard to believe people can do it?

So do we.
Credit card is paid off every month.

The top 20% have no concerns over money. The Covid era produced over 7 trillion dollars that needed to find new homes.

There is still a lot of money that needs to find an asset.

I have my accountant pay everything off after 32 days. Then you get the CC rewards and build some credit. The interest on 2 days is minimal.

Well ****, I'm glad I live in a society with a relatively free market, and that we're able to purchase the items we choose.

I'm not about to piss on anyone, nor am I dropping money on a UTV with heat or AC, because we can all make our own decisions- and I will take cold over heat almost every time. I know both hot and cold, having been around the world and experiencing many climates- and I hate heat.

Some folks are more adapted to the cold, some to the heat; I mean, didn't we all start out in Sub-Saharan Africa, and move out from there, adapting to the changing climates as we moved? Isn't that what is about literally responsible for the varying skin tones amongst humans through evolution?

 

[livemusic]

I guess that makes you a liar like me
Funny how sometimes people can’t fathom people accomplishing something they themselves don’t do

Seems to me that the poster making that comment didn't say that NOBODY can do it, but that it's a lie that everybody pays theirs off each month.

I have just two people on TBN ignored. Might be some posting here.

“No way can anyone ever pay off an outstanding balance ”

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

I mean, I think we are well off... But that is in large part due to us investing in appreciate assets. There are so many things I'd like to have, and could go buy, but then that money wouldnt be working, so I don't have to

 

[ArlyA]

Here is a few machine we used over the years. Just one we paid for. Loved them all but each in its own way.

I can already tell you he is on your ignore list, you two are oil and water, and I appreciate you both.

I better be #1 and not #2.

Somebody quote this.

I see the major credit card providers just raised their outstanding balance rates to over 25%. No way can anyone ever pay off an outstanding balance at those rates and don't tell me that everyone on here pays off their outstanding balances every month because I know that is a lie.

Obviously to me, you are either guilty as charged or you have a reading comprehension issue Dark Black or maybe both and I really don't care one way or another. All you have to do is Goggle up outstanding credit card debt to know that not everyone on here pays the full due balance every month. Don't care who it is as you all know who you are.

What I'm eluding to is the absurd interest rates CC companies are charging today and that alone makes it almost impossible for anyone carrying a sizeable balance, to ever pay it off.

Use your head for something other than to space your ears....
