Example, I just gave high $30s for a 70k mile 2016 Ram diesel Bighorn 4x4.
Seemed high but it is a very marketable truck and easy to get top dollar for (lifted, deleted, high $ accessories,black, well kept).
Seemed like too much $ but I could flip it and pocket $5k right now easily and my 07 Dodge diesel 5.9 mega, 6 speed with 180k fetched $27k! Which is almost more ridiculous than the price of the 2016!
Heck our friends bought a newer used wakeboard boat last fall and the prev owner wants to buy it back from them for more money right now.
Point is, if budget and financial matters are very important to you, right now is not the time to go buy anything newer. But if you can limp along for a year or maybe 2, I believe there will be a market correction similar to the late 2000s albeit for different reasons. ( not getting political, lol)
But since I got almost totally off topic (hopefully helpful In your decision though), short answer, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy the right 80-100k mile truck with the reasonable expectations of putting another 100k on it without any major engine or drivetrain failures).
