It's not crazy at all....Not when 50% off is 50% off of a pickup that cost 100K. Because that's the price it should have been at the sticker to start with. It's not a Mercedes, it's a pickup.
At 80K, it'll be a 5 year old "new" truck before they ever sell it. And when they finally do, it'll be more like 30K. Dealers with these vehicles should price them to the minimum to get rid of their inventory and stop trying to COVID price gouge everything because COVID is over, as a pandemic.
so what’s better then? i’m looking for a 1500 dodge makes a good looking truck n the 5.7 seems an alright engine as long as it’s not idled into lifter issues fords have cam phaser issues, rather not have a turbo 6 anyhow gm ecotec seems alright thinking maybe spend a bit more and get the 3l duramax but a bit more is like 20k in the used market hard to say if i’d make that back in fuel savings

If you're going to pay $100k for any vehicle, your income should be well into 6 figures. Even if I could afford it, I'd never pay 6 figures for any Jeep product. The new car market is whacked.
It kinda is, everybody decided they wanted to drive around in land yachts that were also unreliable and got bad fuel economy while gas prices were high. Homes were still cheap then though.

Ford is selling around 66,000 F-Series trucks per month per their last quarterly report. They report again at the end of the month so it will be interesting to see how things are trending. But don't let a lot of inventory lead you to believe trucks aren't selling its just that production has recovered. That 66,000 number is why we aren't seeing factory rebates. If Ford offered a 5K discount on F-series trucks they'd have to sell nearly 90,000 trucks instead of 66,000 to bring in in the same revenue they are seeing now and that is not going to happen. The base sales needs to fall into the 50's or even 40K unit/per month before you will see any desperation out of FMC.
2015 Chevy Silverado LTZ Black Widow edition. - Paid off, $80 a month insurance, and a $65 Tag. Thanks to ceramic it’s well maintained, and maintenance has been taken care of. I get compliments all the time. Got it new in 2014 for the price of a Tacoma today. Be proud of what you have, and realize it’s not worth it trying to stay up to date on vehicles if you don’t have the overhead to throw away. Can’t say I feel sorry for the auto industry.

Wonder how many hellcats out there have never had an oil change. Saw one get repossessed after a year, still had what was left of the factory oil in it. Wouldnt buy a used hellcat for anything unless it was has all service records.
Do dealerships realize, that, the longer a vehicle sits, the worse and more of a depreciated it becomes. For instance, the battery has not been used, so it starts to degrade and becomes unusable, so you need a new battery. This goes for the engine and all parts of the drive train. These components are not getting lubricanated. The paint has not been washed or waxed, so it starts to oxides. Meaning that paint is dull and weathered, so it might a re paint job.
I would think that they qould cut their loses and sell em for half price and be done with. A vehicle that sits for a yr has got to be costing someone money!
Jeep prices increased by 61% in the five years since 2019! Simultaneously, massive cost cutting applied to parts, fittings and components, replacing them using far cheaper materials! Arguably, Jeep vehicles were extremely poor value for money in 2019! Increasing their cost by 61% whilst using far cheaper materials is hardly going to make them good value for money in 2024. Whom exactly are these new Jeep customers that are willing to pay 61% more for a substantially lower quality vehicle? Which secure unit for the criminally insane are they housed in?
Used car prices are stupid on their own. Finding a 90s Honda in decent shape is starting to look tempting. They are reliable, fun, good on fuel, and should something break, you can get parts and fix it yourself.
I hate that Toyota has "market adjustments" across all of their models. They are already expensive in the first place. It has made me look towards other brands, but their quality is pretty dodgy.
They are going to have to lease these out at a low price just to get them off the lot. Then at the end of the lease, those that don’t buy, the vehicles can be put on the market for a whole lot less. I certainly wouldn’t buy one, but I could fathom leasing for three years and turning it back in.
People in a way have themselves to blame (partly). Very few people actually need the towing power of the huge trucks sold in the US. For doing actual work, they are highly impractical. Too high to actually get stuff in and out of the tray. No drop sides. A tiny by US standards 2door pickup with large drop side tray, roof rack and front rack. Cost a fraction to buy, run and service. I get it, they don’t give you that special feeling in the pants but they work. Here in Australia, our pickup market is similar to the US but not as extreme. We still have these modest work utes on offer. A handful of RAMs Silverado ect which are the price of a small apartment. Buy what you need to get work done, not what looks cool. Looking cool is a luxury that has become normal and it’s a fast track to bankruptcy. Best wishes to our US brothers and sisters! 🇺🇸 🇦🇺
The fact is, there is a demand curve and there is a supply curve. Where those two curves intersect is the price. You can’t possibly rewrite the rules of economics! And if you try to then you’re going to fail. What about this do car makers and stealerships not understand?
Imagine being the guy who paid over MSRP on a truck one year ago and now they are discounting vehicle over 30k. Talk about upside down.

Well when the sticker is nearly $100K, it's easy to put an $80K price on it when it's traded in or repossessed a year later.
People in a way have themselves to blame (partly). Very few people actually need the towing power of the huge trucks sold in the US. For doing actual work, they are highly impractical. Too high to actually get stuff in and out of the tray. No drop sides. A tiny by US standards 2door pickup with large drop side tray, roof rack and front rack. Cost a fraction to buy, run and service.
I get it, they don’t give you that special feeling in the pants but they work.
Here in Australia, our pickup market is similar to the US but not as extreme. We still have these modest work utes on offer. A handful of RAMs Silverado ect which are the price of a small apartment.
Buy what you need to get work done, not what looks cool. Looking cool is a luxury that has become normal and it’s a fast track to bankruptcy.
Best wishes to our US brothers and sisters! 🇺🇸 🇦🇺
my wife just bought a new Lexus RX with a ton of bells and whistles for low 50s after discounts.....
i love this. you have no idea
Imagine if people paid cash for the rides. Prices would really come down
Average American, not making much over $40,000 a year. People can't afford those prices.
The fact is, there is a demand curve and there is a supply curve. Where those two curves intersect is the price. You can’t possibly rewrite the rules of economics! And if you try to then you’re going to fail. What about this do car makers and stealerships not understand?
