My F250 finally bit me in the bu##
After 15 years and only 85,000 miles my F250 hit me in the wallet this week. All the dash gauges, radio, door locks and window buttons would just stop working. It is an intermitted problem, sometime...

Lol. No AC...
What some of y’all have to remember, is some of us talk vehicle prices from the standpoint of a person who is fiscally responsible, financially stable and also able to get the best pricing on a vehicle (TV, loaf of bread, etc...).
BUT $75k is not out of line for someone who’s not down with all that stuff above that I just said.
Take your moderately equipped diesel truck that “we” say can be had for $50k. Round numbers. Obviously that’s $10k or more off the sticker.
Now go buy a new car like a lot of consumers....because, even the janitor is entitled to a new diesel truck in our society, right?
$60 k sticker price
$3000 dealer add on sucker “stuff”
$6k tax
$2k In gotta have accessories
$5-10k interest, cost of financing.
Now you got $75k into a truck, not even considering the first tank of fuel!
The dumb people WILL pay $75k for a $50-55k truck, or MORE all day long......
In dumbville, $75k only gets you an XLT. If you’re the head janitor and you gotta have the King Ranch, you get to tell the story about your $100k truck!
Why do you think the used prices are so jacked on trucks? Partly becisse they’re popular and the economy is good, but a good part of it is all folks who spend waaay more than they should and then when the fuel bills start eating a hole in their wallet, they have to sell it either for too much money or upside down.
