I've never been one to bitch about resale, but now I kind of want a F250. Only because of the size of the cab and a diesel engine. But man with carmax useing this as a gauge, i'd never climb out from that kind of upsidedownedness!

Yea, they wanted to give me like $26,500 for my CE. I told them C-YA.

I just got my '05 QC with 23,500 miles from CarMax. I paid $28000 including NC tax and a $449 transfer fee from Chicago.

I LOVE CARMAX!!!

I went to Carmax one time before. they offered me $22,500 which is kind of a not bad deal because my truck have 29k mileage on it. But I couldn't take that deal because I still own my bank loan the $25k which mean I need pay Carmax the $2,500. So, I told them forgot it because I don't have $2,500 with me.

If you can hang on to it for a few more years they will go up in value, simply because they just signed into law that every car manufactured will have get 35 MPG by 2020. This will end the HP war as we know it now!! That will increase the value of our truck emensely!!:rock:

That can't apply to trucks. There's no way. How in the hell are they gonna get, say, a one ton superduty to get 35 mpg?

 

[Intercool]

Every single vehicle produced to date could achieve 35mpg TODAY. Big oil, the government and the auto manufacturers have to this point made sure that they dont. Vehicles have not improved in MPG much since they were developed almost 100 years ago. Cars back in the 60's could get 20+ mpg, 45years later they still get the same mpg or worse...coincidence? NO! Trucks and cars alike have been allowed to be gas guzzlers for all these years because oil & the government have the monopoly on this nessisary good and no one else is allowed in on this gig they have going on. If it werent for the recent global warming environmental movement gaining strength there would be NO SUCH TALK OF MPG INCREASES.

It's across the board per manufacturer, not every single make/model.

Yeah, no plans to sell right now. It's just a toy, so if anything ever pops up it's expendable since it's not close to a DD. I do drive it a lot, but there are several other cars/trucks in the stable.

Industry average requirement. A car that gets 25 hwy would need to be offset by another that gets 45. Still should have an impact on the kinds of cars that will be made.

I've pondered many times "how low" the value of our trucks will go... Simply because it has the Viper engine in the truck,,, I don't see our trucks dipping too much further than $20K within the next 5 years.. Say 7-8 years from now,,, I bet they're still selling in the mid-high teens.
