Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

I don't remember what year it was but i loved it when my Taco had the oil filter at the top of the engine bay. Every truck should be like that!

My wife’s 2022 Subaru Ascent has the oil filter on top. It is upside down even to what I am used to but didn’t spill a drop changing it. Pretty cool to not have the oil running all down the filter when you start to loosen it.

Probably a 2nd gen. It was right next to the battery.

If I could, I would slap the engineer that designed the placement of the starter on the 4.7.

Slapping would be diplomatic in response to that decision

That’s not completely true. If you are borrowing at a lower rate than your investment accounts it’s a different ballgame than if you are borrowing higher. .

Reburn, you did good. Typically there are no discounts on 2500 and up trucks since they make fewer of them than the 1500. Dealers are feeling some pain from the higher interest rates though. With Ford F450 you have to order them but some dealers self order them then sell them for an upcharge of 5-7K as it takes about 6 months if you order one. Not a whole lot of F450's get built as a full truck...most are chassis only. However, the horse, super-sized 5th wheel RV and construction guys like them.

Newsflash: The CARES Act ($2.2 trillion of made up funny money injected into the economy) was passed by a Republican majority Senate and signed by Trump.

Can we do the Dave Ramsey thing where you tell us how old you are and how much money you make and about your assets and debt?

Newsflash: my comments were in reference to the bull crap regulations being pushed to make everything more green…. Smaller engines, more batteries, restricted water flow in faucets, less water in washing machines (means more loads of laundry canceling out water savings), banning gas stoves, mandating electric cars, solar panels for powering cities (I saw how well that worked in my home state of Texas), windmills that will never pay for themselves and end up in land fills, etc, etc, etc…..

How much money my wife and I make is none of your damn business. Nor are our assets. And as far as debt…. Tiny mortgage and tiny auto loan. There are people with car notes higher than our mortgage….. my combined interest on home and auto is less than auto loans are today….


Other than that, ZERO. NADA. 4 or 5 credit cards with NOTHING!

Again, can we afford to buy brand new even with the current interest rates? Absolutely we can. Would it put a financial strain on us. Nope, not at all. But, I didn’t get into the financial situation that I’m in by making impulsive buying decisions, over paying, or maxing out my lines of credit….

So, can we do that thing where you apologize for trying to insult me as you puff your chest out looking down your nose with a feeling of being holier than thou?

Buy the pro with the v6 if you can get it for msrp, you’ll be in the black a long time on it.

I agree. That’s the plan. That pro already sold for 5k over and it’s not even at the lot yet.

Some of the older stuff may be easier to work on.

100%. I miss the older engines. So simple and easy and lasted for ever!
