This Might Be The Most Ridiculous Dealer Markup On A Pickup Truck

Inventory shortages have dramatically decreased supply, but Americans still want to buy cars. We all know this creates a situation where dealers can charge almost whatever they want for a vehicle. Pickups are always in demand, and you would expect a markup on something like a Raptor or a TRX...

Completely unrelated, but here's Rheinhardt, the shooting brake I refer to in blog posts. Dieselgate Jetta. Wonderful to drive until the DPF light goes off. Dealership just replaced the entire emissions system under warranty. Diesel particulate filter, EGR, catalytic converters, the whole 9 yards.

That was a piece of crap when it was new. They made only 1200 because they couldn't sell them.

LOL -- so true
I was also thinking one could have a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer for the same price. Auctions are so much fun to watch.

I'm not too surprised by that price. It confirms my belief that prices peak when cars are 40 years old. That's when you have enough money to buy the car you wanted when you were 14 years old.

Some truth to that
A 2019 Ford GT, 500K new, sold for 1.4m
Point is, or so my take, is it has to do more with rarity. I watched that 82 Jeep and there were only 2 guys on it, both had to have it and thus the sale price. There aren't any of those things around especially in near mint condition.

Here’s a sweet one for winter use.
Even has electric motors.

There's a Massive Antarctic Exploration Vehicle Lost Somewhere at the Bottom of the World
