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

New car manufacturing is at a standstill due to computer chip shortage. Dealers are begging for used inventory so they will have something to sell. Supply and demand pure and simple.

 

[SMeyer524]

Hurry, go buy all the used cars!

Here, 12,500.

I looked for 6 months for a used truck... ended up buying a brand new one for a few thousand more. The truck market is stupid right now.

Are you still trying to sell yours? I thought you already had sold it?

Takes a whole lot of money to play that game

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.

It's an inline six, called a Cummins lol

It is , we have one on the farm that has more than 600,000 miles on it and it’s still Cummin,every day . The joke of the day is that it’s a million mile engine , in a hundred thousand mile truck. In this old dodge it’s about the truth.

I heard somebody else say that all this supply problem is an extension of the feds crushing 3/4 of the used market under Cash For Clunkers years ago

My Pops Cummins I learned to drive with while hay baling 30 years ago is still going. Some guy up Stewart Street uses it to take trash to the dump so he doesn't get his newer truck smelly. I offered him $5,000 on the spot and he said no, never, get gone now

Not even a hundred. There are reasons you see a lot of Cummins in Chevys and Ford's.
I should have kept my Chevy and tossed a Cummins in it. Body had 380k and it's first alignment ever done. All it needed was an outer tie rod. The GMT 800 truck is the best ever built. New enough to have all the eminities, but can work on just about anything yourself. 99-06 body.

As long as you're not in a hurry, and like smelling Diesel lol

My '04 Crew cab Dodge Dakota with 125,000 miles is worth 10K at least!

Your talking about a one month program that happened 12 years ago.

I’d say it’s much more plausible that people see we are entering a recession(and a looming housing bubble pop) and don’t want to be tied into a hefty car payment with their employment status at the whim of the cdc,

or that people without two dimes to rub together are buying 09 rams to replace their 03 f150’s with their stimulus checks.

never-mind that California and their all electric push, and how most normal people in that state are gonna be forced to buy used if they want any kind of range or proven technology in their vehicles.

it’s just like firearm sales right now: people are uneasy or scared, they have free disposable income, their worried they won’t be able to buy tomorrow.

 

[FrankT]

It is due to the chip shortage and the lack of new vehicles so people are buying used

 

[M60Gunner]

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

That's right. Crying shame. In the end it nets more money to work next door for minimum wage than to buy a truck and drive to the jobsite
