Found this truck today. Great shape. Literally laughed and left. Look at what they are asking used, 21k miles.

Now look at the original window sticker. Car dealers have lost their minds.

It's nuts but they'll probably get that. I looked up my 2019 GMC 2500 DMAX Denali on NADA last night and the current average trade-in is the original MSRP. I paid 10k less than that when I bought it new. I wouldn't have paid sticker when I bought it. I'll be keeping mine for a good while.

Sad part is auto insurers already adjusting renewal premiums to reflect higher prices...

Friend driving Bay Bridge yesterday was totaled... truck in front of her stopped... she stopped but truck behind do not stop fast enough.

Her 3 year old Lexus wedged/sandwiched between two trucks... she is ok but had to be pulled out through sunroof.

They are already facing not just sticker shock but limited availability... and this includes rental rates... she is a trauma nurse.

Yeah, prices are insane. Don't really need anything now, but my truck is getting "up there" in years and I'll probably be looking a couple years down the road. Did a quick search online for used ones, didn't see much of anything under $30k other than total junkers.

Your findings and mine are the same. Complete ridiculousness

IMHO it will get worse price wise unless the economy takes a big dump.If fuel prices continue to rise folks will dump PU trucks for better fuel mileage cars.

I sure won't. At work we were watching that when gas went this high in 2007ish and it didn't seem to happen with current owners. Can't speak to the car shoppers at the time, their focus may have been MPGs.

I'm hoping the Taco Wagon will last until I croak. Don't want to go thru the hassle and $$$ of another new vehicle.
