If people keep their vehicles a little longer and the demand goes down for new ones then they will get cheaper. Seems like housing is going the same way right now. Up up up
Consumers create the demand.That's true however I question whether it's "demand" or if it's just the "if we can do it we should" mentality.
To a point.Consumers create the demand.

What pickup owner ever wanted a multi folding tailgate that costs thousands to replace
or proximity sensors?
I know a lot of truck owners and I can't think of one who ever wanted that crap.
No, no, nothing will. Every fiat currency ends the same way once it moves away from its standard backing. It loses value exponentially as they have to print more and more and it enters a death spiral. It is unfathomable how they keep so many in the dark about this...purposefully.I'm wondering if now is the best possible to buy a vehicle. Prices are crazy, but will they get worse? Will they ever come down?
Based on the fattened pig mentality, dealerships are getting used to fetching premiums for vehicles and will probably do everything in their power to keep prices high and stay fat and happy.
• Vehicles I looked at purchasing 6 years ago are selling for more now than they were back then.
• 20 years ago a Z71 pickup was ~$22k new, now they are three times that.
What do you think? Get in now before it continues to climb or keep driving the beater and crossing fingers that things get better?
The issue with that is how much they depreciate in a few years. People remember these huge upfront discounts and without Covid to help stabilize used pricing the value drops like a rock.Kind of a timely thread. A couple hours ago, I got an email from my Ram dealer in Denver and they have some incredible discounts on Ram pickups fwiw. We're talking 12k to $16k off window sticker.
Then why do they buy it?To a point.

Because people love the latest and greatest toys. It doesn’t matter if they actually use it or not.Then why do they buy it?
I bought my 22 f250 in late 2021. Same truck 2025 model is $25k more… prices arent increasing as quickly now but dont expect deflation anytime soon.I'm wondering if now is the best possible to buy a vehicle. Prices are crazy, but will they get worse? Will they ever come down?
