Anyone else notice how light used ore-owned vehicles have sky rocketed? Saw a dealership tying to sell a decent shape 2013 FJ cruiser with 129k on the odometer for $45k!!! Great time to sell right now, horrible time if your buying unless it’s buying new.

Yep. That’s why when our daughter’s starter truck (2001 F250 PSD) gave us issues during the freeze, we bought her a newer truck.
The same truck we bought her 3+ months ago is showing to have a very low trade value of just over what we gave for it then. If we were to try and but that truck right now, from a dealership at least, it projects to be about 8k more than what we gave for it.
Absolutely insane.

Yeah it’s absurd. I’ve been really itching to turn my ‘18 TRDPRO Tacoma into a 13-14 FJ Cruiser(I just miss manual transfer case and a SUV).
Found a dealership with a low mileage ‘14 FJ but they wanted me to trade my ‘18 TRDPRO Tacoma with about $17k in mods/suspension with less than 55k mileage in plus I pay them an extra $10k on top. Told the salesman he needs to tell his manager to lay off the crack pipe. Prices will come down, I remember the ‘08 and ‘15 dips when they tried to gouge potential pre-owned vehicle buyers. But vehicles as simple as sedans that would regularly be $8000-$10000 are being advertised for $19-$21k for something like a 2015 or 2016 model, holy hell this is robbery!!
Also saw a ‘13 FJ Cruiser with 129k mileage for $45k and a ‘18 Rubicon Jeep for $55k!!! Are you ****ing me!!Last edited by HarryHunter; 05-29-2021, 01:58 PM.

Yeah it rough. My buddy bought one of those Chevy Colorado Buffalo Packages. I think that’s what he said. Anyways they called him offering full price for it back plus $5k. Something to do with Chevy is struggling to meet the demands of the computer processors and ECU’s in many of their vehicles when repairs are necessary.
Cross your fingers nothing electronic goes out on your vehicle I guess. Might be sitting on a unusable vehicle till the components become available.
