I only had to read the first line... Price. No truck today is worth 70 grand to me. Especially when you can buy a low mileage off lease vehicle with a factory warranty for about half of what a new one cost. I believe in letting the first owner/leasee take the depreciation hit. I'm not proud. Bought my last 2 vehicles that way.
Is it also correct to say that many are willing to pay 70K or more for a new pickup? Can it be said that people's personal spending habits and choices are just that individual choices that have zero relevance to the discussion at hand? Should the topic come up about the dollars and sense of buying new verse used come up, you will no doubt be the topic leader. However inserting your buying used over new philosophy into every discussion is wearing itself out.
Seems revelant to me. When the cost of admission reaches a certain point, the clientele declines. I'm tickled that people want to spend that much jack for a depreciating item. Keeps the economy going and the banks happy. In my case, I can think of at least a dozen ways to better invest my money and I do.
