Truck prices

[foxtrot]

I drive an Accord all week for work. Bought my weekend truck a few months ago. 2004 Ford Excursion with 140K miles on it for $4,300.00. Yes, it gets 12 miles to the gallon but for trips to the lake or deer camp only, it is a bargain all the way around.

Great discussion guys. FYI my Dad just bought a 2015 F250 Superduty Lariat GAS BURNER for $48,000. That price was after $4000 of discounts. He said the diesel was about $8k higher. I tried to get him to buy used but he is old, hard headed, has some money, figures he isn't going to live much longer, and wanted a brand new truck.

$4000?

I'm stuck on getting a new truck as we speak... I have a 2005 gmc with 227,000 miles on it... If I worked at the house I would keep going with it.. Put a new trans in it 20,000 miles ago... But I drive anywhere from 600-700 miles every two weeks for work... Only thing stopping me is the reduced work in the oilfield... Been looking at a new f-250, but that $60,000 price tag for a truck is something I just can't see myself paying..

Not sure if yall know it or not, but dodge is selling a 5 year unlimited mileage bumper to bumper warranty for $1300 at time of purchase. You cant beat that if you are not brand loyal. I am a Chevy man, but since they just reduced powertrain warranty from 100,000 miles to 60,000 miles starting with 2016 models I will probably go dodge next time.

Yup. I've heard of a few companies around here buying up new 2015 trucks to replace fleet vehicles for this very reason.
It must say something about their crappy AFM 5.3 motor.

My first home cost 85k. I can't get my mind wrapped around driving a depreciating asset that's anywhere near that. The last 3 trucks I've driven were 275k-plus miles and the least of this runs like a top and is driven by my teenager. But it's not just trucks, it's everything. While we were distracted by the dancing bears of pop-media, the rug was jerked out from under us. Seen beef prices lately? Can buy fresh-from-the-boat Gulf jumbo shrimp for what ground chuck cost at Walmart.

Yes. And then we are told inflation is low.

Herrin gear just advertised 12500 off msrp in a TV commercial.

That should get it back down to normal pricing if legit?

It's not showing on their website if true.

New Chevrolet and gmc dealers are advertising 8 grand off new trucks. Get a truecar.com price and then tell them you want the 8k off. I had a friend just get a 15 Chevy 1500 high country 4x4 for 45k out the door. Truck has Nav, a/c seats, which is the greatest creation since the wheel for a big man. Sticker on the truck was in the mid 50's.

In 2010, 30% off sticker was the norm for SLE Sierras.

I'm looking at a window sticker on the Buick enclave loaner car I'm driving today. The warranty is described as follows six-year 70,000 mile powertrain limited warranty and separately it lists a four year 50,000 mile limited bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Little less on the powertrain and more on the bumper to bumper. Assuming it is limited the same way we are used to seeing?
