    My low mileage 2020 SR5 with TSS package is still for sale. I'm holding out for $80,000. If Toyota comfirms no more V8, price goes up to $100,000! So if you're thinking about it, better contact me quick before the price goes up!

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Actually, this is one of the few times in my life where I jumped on a deal at the right time. So glad I got my Tundra when I did (a little discount plus 0% financing right as Covid lockdowns started), would hate to be facing this market needing a vehicle.

    This is not caused by inflation. Low supply + high demand = high prices.

    you just defined inflation. The demand has increased in part due to money being printed and handed out to people

    I am so happy I got my 1794 last May, I paid $47,200 before TTL yesterday for shits & giggles I put it in Vroom and they offered me $54800.
    My wife said NO WAY - I agree with her as I would need another truck.

    Wrong, supply and demand is not the same as inflation and you’re just speculating that inflation is a driver of increased demand.

    The demand for vehicles has always been there. The reduction of supply has in turn driven up demand, leading to a massive increase in prices. If it were strictly driven by inflation, all goods and services would have seen 20-40% price increases in the past 6-9 months.

    Been to a lumber store lately? I bought fence material yesterday at nearly 4-5 times over what it cost a year ago.

    @CurtisLemansky i may not know everything, but no, a decrease in supply does not increase demand. Demand is a measurement of ability and desire to consume

    missed this at first. But inflation is simply an increase of price for the same basket of goods. Many things contribute to that. Since we have fewer goods/services being produced right now, yet more free money handed to those not working demanding more goods, we see inflation. Businesses will have to pay more to hire than yesterday, because they are now competing with unemployment. They are seeing inflated labor cost.

    Giving an example of prices increasing on two items isn't the same as across the board inflation. Everyone is so eager to make this political and blame inflation and it's really fucking annoying. Folks are just regurgitating the same talking points over and over. The supply of lumber was impacted last year as the economy shut down. Then demand jumped up as people who were forced to stay home decided to work on all the lumber related projects they had procrastinated for years. It's no mystery why prices increases. Once things settle down prices on lumber will do the same.

    I guess you haven't bought groceries lately either. Or maybe you just don't have to pay attention. I have and do.

    You're pinching pennies on groceries but purchased a $50K truck that gets 13mpg? :monocle:

    No, I can't say that I've noticed a big uptick in my grocery prices.

    This 2019 Sequoia SR5 4WD we bought in February cost $35,229 OTD from a KIA dealer. They had five of them on the used lot from a huge batch of former rental vehicles they bought and were blowing them out for cheap. I was shocked to see the asking price of $37k for a 2019 Sequoia with only 30k miles on it.

    We jumped on that FAST. The other four the dealer had on the lot sold within a week. And part of that batch of former rentals were offered all across the Colorado Front Range and they sold within a couple weeks also.

    I believe Carvana bought them because I've seen the same Sequoias on their site but $10k more asking price. And those sold quick.

    Got lucky jumping on this one before prices went crazy, and that's only three months ago.

    Yep, purchased a 52k sticker truck for 43k at zero interest for five years that is heavy, has a good powertrain, added 9k in mods to transform it into a "truck" and I will likely keep it for 20-30 years. Gas...not much, only 2500 miles in five months. As for groceries, yep watch the price of those too. It's called spending wisely, so can afford to spend.

    There are many more reasons as to why the price of lumber has increased so much along with what you listed. This is why it has kept on increasing, not one problem to fix. At the end of the day, it does not help when you forget to turn off the money printer.

    Sometimes I wonder a little bit about certain companies being money laundering fronts, Carvana is beginning to creep onto my suspicious list.

    Talked to a home builder the other day. He said a year ago he could build 10 houses with 50k worth of lumber. Now he can build 2 with the same money.

    Hard to say. Once they end the crazy unemployment benefits, the manufacturing sector is going to shoot straight up. It will be a nice wave to ride, you just need to know when to get off.

    Federally ends beginning of September but many are ending it now. If that theory stands than we should see this manufacturing sector you’re taking about start shooting straight up right now. :notsure:

    People still have money in their pocket and I feel that a certain age group is going to do their best to enjoy the summer. At least this is what I am seeing with my business and my hiring issues. I have a feeling that people will start returning to work in October, at least around here anyways.

    they all need to end at once. Also though, if a domestic manufacturer relies on imported parts, from say canada or england which seem to want to stay closed forever, we are screwed
