Rick,
Find me a 5 year old 4wd extended cab pickup truck with no rust and under
80,000 miles for under $25,000 and I'll give you a $500 finders fee.
Around here if it runs and drives the price is double what it was last year and
there aren't very many choices.
In 2014 when we were truck shopping I could get a brand new Ford F150 STX 4wd
extended cab v8 for $28,000. Today that's the price for a 4 year old one, if
you can find one.

Folks
Whether you believe it or not, the price of ICE powered cars is really going
to keep falling.... no one is driving much, they don’t have jobs to go to and I
think electric cars will be super mainstream so quickly we will be amazed ....
look at the price of fax machines!
Our daughter who lives in the Bay Area has, count them, TWO Teslas.... a model
S and a 3. The S is leased and about to go back, but daughter owns the 3 so it
stays. Their third car is a Nice 2001 Lexus/ Rav 4 SUV or whatever It is
called. Daughter has driven the model 3 about 60k miles and has replaced some
tires and Tesla just warrantied the 12 volt reg car battery or deep cycle that
powers accessories or something
I think she is the norm, maybe a bit of early adopter.
In the last three years or so I have bought a Kia 2008 mini van for $200 (129k
miles) ... I fixed a few things and have driven it for 3 years About 20k miles
at the cost of fuel and an idler pulley, a few coil packs and a $50 used
alternator. Perfect car
I bought a 2008 Kia accent with 200k like new, clean stick for $350... it took
8 months to sell for $2500
And I have the 2003 sprinter with lift gate that only cost $2800 with free
Pennsylvania
I would say I have never seen cars cheaper in terms of real cost, allowing for
inflation etc
I think these ICE Mercedes cars will be $500 before you know it because no one
will want them
As for Covid, at age 66 Georgia offered me a vaccine which I took, a couple of
weeks ago (Pfizer) and an appointment next week for the second dose. I felt
crappy for at least a week after it ... mostly just tired.
