I'm curious to know what you would do?

I think the smoking deal days are done here in the states too. My last good deal was in 2019, and I bought a 2017 Ram 3500, with 15 miles on it, for ~20K off. Had to drive out of state to get it, but was a good deal. Sold my 2014 Ram 2500 for more than I bought it used.

I used to buy my wife a new car every 3 years. 6 years ago I decided to give leasing a try. First lease worked out fine, wasn't a big loss. Second lease, I brought it back and it was worth more than the lease payoff. That rarely happens, but timing was right with all the issues with computer parts etc slowing down inventory. I decided to buy the car vice go another lease route. Not too many people make money (or equity) on leased vehicles.

Yup 5 good reasons to keep the '22 but:
1. The '23 has the HO Powerstroke
2. The '23 has a 2000 watt inverter
3. The '23 has lane centering
4. The '23 has a side step
5. The '23 has full fold down seats
6. The '23 has has on board scales
7. The '23 is supposed to ride and handle better
8. The '23 is being offered to me at a discount, that, although isn't what it has been, is still pretty good.
9. The '23 has 3 years bumper to bumper warranty ... fresh oil, new tires and a full tank of fuel! And
10. I'm able to get considerably more for my '22 than what I paid for it almost 2 years ago.
