That link was a waste of time, I even looked at the videos of a truck making dust and found nothing worthwhile. If folks use that fluff to make a purchase decision it is no wonder there are so many financed trucks,

Do you think if people didn’t care about fluff they would pay cash for their vehicles? Seems most people borrow money to buy vehicles but I’m gonna guess that those who pay cash might be more likely to buy the top of the line models.

I bet it is the opposite. When you pay cash the check goes from $50k to $80 when you go from an XLT to a Platinum. That is more painful than the payment going up a little When they stretch the payment out to 72-84 months. They quote you a payment on $900 on the XLT at 60 months, or $1000 for a Platinum for 84 months.

What you’re saying sounds reasonable. I never do the payment thing but I don’t look at the $85k price tag either. Rather than look at what the truck is costing me today I make make an estimate as to how much it will depreciate each year. If an opportunity comes along to sell it for an amount that makes sense or if an opportunity to buy a new one at a reasonable price comes along I get a new one again. The difference isn’t that bad if you do it often enough.:)
