If you're in the market for a used vehicle, buy now. Like today. Right now. Here's why...

[candipogo]

Nope, sold the hummer. Dealership in bay minette wants it, but im not gonna give it away. If they will give me that off a new dodge I might take it. Want the 6 cylinder diesel 4x4.

I don't know mopars very well. Is that diesel a cummings?

Yes
Dodge diesels are Cummins engines

It's definitely varying from dealership to dealership. I just bought the wife a new vehicle and it was fairly cheap. But now I'm looking at either the Toyota Tacoma or the new ram 1500 ( I'd really like the classic warlock butt...) But can't decide which one. I'm trading in my 17 frontier with 61k miles on it and am getting basically what I paid 2 years back. I paid 17k and it's valued at $14-17k still.the market is a mess.

Go tacoma. Better vehicle and better resale value than the Dodge.

not to mention the currency is tanking, no way a new truck should cost close to 100k...

when you take into account all the technology - it really does.

a bumper assembly with sensors is $8-15k depending on brand/features.

take a look at all the required safety items - $15-30k in airbags in new vehicles, seatbelts that automaticity tighten at impact, all the sensors to control safety items, emergency braking systems, etc.

Most cars have at least $25k of tech before you get into the goodies.

Bit the bullet and bought a truck. F150 w/ bells and whistles. 4x4, 4 door.

 

[stage20]

Ecoboost or 5.0?

 

[skippyt]

Lack of ecoboost badge on the side would point toward a flexfuel 5.0 or 3.3 normally aspirated donk

I like old cars too. Looking for an all mechanical diesel to convert to used vegetable oil.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

5.0. Wanted f250 diesel. Just didn't want 77k bill.

I'd be interested in one....

I’ve been looking for a used Ford Ranger extend cab 4x4 with an automatic transmission on Facebook market place. They’re out there but they sell quick if it’s a fair price, either that or I get one response if that and then no response on a meeting place or time to meet up

Just for the record, this is what I wanted. My blonde accountant nixed it.

That’s a fine ride right there. You are gonna love it. Converted to Ford in 2001 and never looked back. F-250 diesel right now. Best truck I ever owned. Had four F-150’s since 2001 and I used to be a die hard GM guy.

 

[SMeyer524]

Very nice. I was in the same boat, drive a beater for years and it was always “we’ll buy a truck next year” I lost count. Finally back in the end of 19 when they were practically giving them away I bought an F150. Love it. Loved it so much, just bought the wife an Expedition, they were not giving that one away, but it’s got a lot more bells and whistles than mine.

You like it better than your Tundra?
Due to the market I sold my 14 GMC for what I paid 3 years ago, paid cash for an 04 Tundra.

 

[SAWMAN]

Absolutely loved the Tundra (was my 3rd).
BUT - -> as you get older the parking lots get "smaller" and I found it harder and harder to effectively maneuver in these "tight" quarters.
Plus,was just towing a 10X12' single axel with 1800lb Bad Boy Buggy and no more river boat ..... sooooo ??
Would reccomend a Toyota Tundra to anyone to this day. --- SAWMAN
ADDED: The 4cyl turbo (10 speed) in my Ranger has adaquate torque for my purposes.

 

[SAWMAN]

Looking back. My first Tundra was the smaller model also. (Cannot remember the year)
Had plenty of torque and pulled my river boat ( tunnel hull w/ Yamaha 90) to Cedar Key several times per year.
Put 70K on it with no probs whatsoever. --- SAWMAN
ADDED: Had plenty of hogs in the back of it over the years also .... right Frank .
