    I am REALLY contemplating selling my truck. like I am SUPER close, but, also hesitant. With the market, I was thinking i can just pick up some beater to carry me over, but I dont know if i want the hassle of an unknown ride at this point, and I am not sure when pricing is going to come back in line.

    All this talk has had me cruising Kijiji looking at beaters, and there's a lot of cars I'd like under 10k, so whatever. Maybe I should sell my truck after I sell my trailer? Hilarious.

    Wow that's insane... was just thinking about it today and thought about getting rid of the ZR2 for a Raptor finally now that an investment opportunity I wanted came through, but sounds like that would be a stupid decision right now. I guess I will have to wait for the time being and see how things go in the coming months....

    Selling now is smart. Buying now is dumb. If you can separate those two transactions by 8-16 months, you will come out ahead.

    Haha, yup and Acura sedans, lol.

    I legit thought about putting my name on the list for a Type-S after we flipped the wife's Rav4 for $2300 "profit" but it seems my car is worth exactly what I owe, lol.

    As you can see I think the used truck market is quite fair.

    FTFY

    That being said, selling something is near universally a good idea, buying something is near universally a bad idea.

    Just stop thinking of your possessions as assets and you will be happier.

    Just because it's probably not emissions compliant, or some other reason?

    I was bitching about this in another thread.

    As someone who will need to buy a 1/2 ton within the next year it's terrible.

    I might end up with a 1ton in the short term as prices on those are still relatively reasonable ($40-50k for a 2015/16 platinum with <150k km)
