Unfortunately the prices are not going to go down until we stop buying at these prices but we don’t have the discipline.

Might be why the Tahoe I posted requires premium gas, which was another shocker considering it’s a Tahoe lol and not a Cadillac Escalade lol.

I’m not trying to be a jerk but with used car prices where they are I’m not shocked when seeing people pay 6 figures for cars that aren’t ultra premium or sports cars. When I got my M8 I was super nervous paying that kind of money for a car but every time I park it and look back I’m happy. Crazy how some of those dually trucks cost almost as much as an M8 which is crazy to me but speaks to the times.

That’s because this Tahoe has the same motor as an Escalade or Yukon Denali . Premium is required for the 6.2, it’s not required for the 5.3Might be why the Tahoe I posted requires premium gas, which was another shocker considering it’s a Tahoe lol and not a Cadillac Escalade lol.

Companies are overpaying for work trucks too because they need them and they have no choice.
Forgot about finding anything for a good price that’s a diesel used or new it doesn’t matter.

I was watching TFL and they were talking about a work truck they bought and how it was affordable at 40K. That’s insanity.

It was the dodge with da Pentastar and had manual rolling windows. Made me sick watching that if I’m honest.
Glad your job recognized that only da best comes from da Mines. Hopefully they didn’t clean up da soot from the cloth interior

Nothing should come with manual windows in 2023.
They sure af didn’t clean up the emissions. Those joints smoke like a ***** on a cold start.

People in the south will make $100k a year as a project manager for a construction company and buy their wife a $100k SUV while they drive a $70k pickup.

It's not sustainable. Market correction is imminent.PRICES WERE PROJECTED TO GO DOWN TOWARDS THE END OF 2022 AND THEY ARE JUST GOING UP N UP.
NOTHING IS GETTING CHEAPER.
PEOPLE HAVE ADJUSTED TO HIGHER COSTS/MAKING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY… SO IF EVERYTHING GOES DOWN AND FOLKS START MAKING LESS MONEY… CATASTROPHE

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Don’t mean to pick on project managers specifically. Could sub out several other good “blue collar” jobs. It’s just the culture. Usually comes with a window sticker that says something like “Dirty Hands, Clean Money” and it’s the guy replacing your sprinkler heads or pool screen. These people love the expensive trucks and Chevy/GM SUV’s.Damn they don’t even give you a company truck down south?

So been driving the new RZ 450e for a couple of weeks so far…put about 550 miles most of it yesterday on my first EV Mountain run. Been interesting to live with it so far…. I drive maybe 5-20 miles tops a day (some days i just work from home) so no issues with range or charging.

Parents Nissan Sentra didn’t blink. No issues. Taurus SHO or Pontiacs were ridiculous.

The interesting thing is the GLS is actually made in Alabama by Americans mostly for Americans.
The Tahoe at 91k is not a steal at all. But they have elevated the vehicle significantly over the years.
