Sweet Cars and Trucks

Heard a report today that 13 per cent of new car buyers are paying OVER BOOK PRICE NOW .

Reason given : supply lo / demand increasing ....... coupled with a serious decline in both CHIP manufacturing and a pandemic slow down in auto mfg plants

This is true. It's like the wild wild west out there right now.

This is true. It's like the wild wild west out there right now.

My wife decided it was time to sell our subies 2014 w/130k 2011 w/ 110k
She has 2019 CX5. I'm getting her car and she is getting a new CX5... I'm to lazy to sell the cars privately, we got above KBB on the trades. They aren't budging much on the new car.. Mazda isn't happy we aren't financing the car.

Nice! I like the CX5, I've bought quite a few for stock and they're good sellers. They won't move much on the price, not many are because the next guy in line will pay them money. You can bring a wheelbarrow full of rolled quarters here, we'll take your money

You'll have to change your sig now

The other thing about trading in is it lowers the tax.

New shop truck

New shop truck

Most awesome. Saw all sorts of iterations of these mini trucks in China.

We're going to go right through the thing too. New interior, paint, wheels and tires. She's a keeper for us, it will be cool tooling around in that thing. Definitely an eye catcher.

Very cool little truck. My neighbour is a landscaper has has a similar one for bombing around in.

I've been at this car biz thing for a long, long, long time and today I saw a first. The 2021 Ram TRX Launch Edition truck is basically sold out at dealerships and they are in HIGH demand. The trucks have an MSRP in the upper 70K. i just watched one, at a dealer auction, that sold for $105,000. I'm still amazed. When this sucker crashes, and it will, I hope to steer very clear of it.
