Deals to be had on new Tundras??

1st post ever on here... Just purchased a 21' TRD Pro about 3 weeks ago and my local dealer said they had stopped production on them a few weeks prior to that. I feel like I got lucky to find one and pay MSRP (which I would never consider lucky in times past). Had been looking anywhere in the country online and found one on the Southeast Toyota Distributors website, called my local dealer and he said it was reserved for someone but they had literally just backed out of the deal. I stuck my name on it and the truck arrived less than a week later. I had found several TRD Pro's on dealer websites but when I contacted them they either did not actually have the trucks, or said they were pre-sold, some had marked up anywhere from $4000 - $12000 over MSRP.
To make me feel better about it, I sold my 15' CM 4x4 Limited to one of the online dealers for $1529 more than I paid for it new (out the door price)! Granted it was in very good condition and low miles. I'm not a young man and I've never been able to say that before, that pushed me over the edge to buy/sell.

 

Yep.

I’ve been alive long enough to have been in my 20’s during the last bubble. Watched it burst in 2008, and learned what I could from it.

There’s a bunch of 30 year olds who hadn’t even graduated high school when all of that went down. They think a bull market and increasing values on everything is permanent. They’re about to get crushed, at least many of them are. Plenty of others as well who didn’t learn.

The first businesses I hope to see take it right up the ass are car dealers who have been taking advantage of the scarcity and jacking up prices.

 

Good advice. A lot of people are going to be caught with their pants down when this economy corrects. Too many have blinders to what is going on. Things can and will change very quickly when panic sets in once inflation control measures start… which are inevitable. Cars will be one of the first things people divest of as usual. Will be interesting indeed.
