I'm 51 years old and just put an order in for a new F150.
I've always bought trucks that were a couple of years old and had a little bit of the warranty left on them. Used to be that you could get them for 25-35% less than new. That was a significant savings on vehicles that weren't even broken in yet. Apparently those days are gone and now you're lucky to get a 10% savings on used with warranty. Nobody (and I mean no dealer) has the truck I want on the lot so I figured 'what the hell, might as well get what I want if I'm only saving a little bit of money on a used one'.
It sucks to have to pay such an insane price for a vehicle but now that I have another driver in the family, and my truck is getting on in years, it's time.
