Got a call from the local GMC dealer where I bought my 2020 Denali. He was offering $5K over what I paid for mine to essentially "buy it back."

There's only one problem...wtf am I going to do for a truck? There's like maybe 6 brand new trucks around here and none make it on my desired list.

So I popped onto their website and saw a 2020 Denali, and it's almost EXACTLY like mine down to the color, only difference is it's a 2WD with a 5.3. Mine's a 4WD with 6.2. Everything but the kitchen sink in options on both.

Asking price on their USED truck with 14xxx miles on it? $61,900!!!! Holy friggin' sh*t! That's darn near what the MSRP was for that truck.

I politely declined. I just rolled 2,500 miles on mine and only had it 14 months. But it made me think twice, though. Never bought a new vehicle and over a year later had a chance to make money off the deal by selling it. Although with that 6.2 it's probably drank that much in gas. 🙂

Used Hellcats are going for crazy money too - even the 6 year old ones.

Working at a dealership, I remember when the lack of inventory was catching stride... Sales managers walked through the dealership wanting to buy basically every employee car. I have a 2014 ram I bought for 25k in early 2017 w/ 35k miles. Now 4 years later they offered me 32k for it with 95k...

I wish I knew when the car and house bubble would pop... I would punt them right before the bottoms fell out.
 
People are DUMB

Older stuff is Nuckin Futz around here, stupid money for junk.
 
I am looking for a hoopty for my Grandson for school. NOTHING! I see a decent car and it's sold before the dust settles. WTF!

Wonder what I could get for mine. Still shows really well. Rockers are just starting to go. I plan on doing them and hanging on to it. I’ve owned this one 16 years, and would like to keep it another 16, just curious.

My 2wd 2011 F150 supercab stx 5.0 is worth $1000 less to Carvana than the $7200 they offered 5000 miles ago. I think I missed my chance.
