    So manufacturers aren't increasing prices, it's just lack of stock? I'd like to sell my truck or trade it in for a new model with a nice fresh warranty, looks like I can get really close to what I paid, just a matter of timing it right

    Check availibility of the new vehicle before you get rid of the old one, or you'll be walking . . .

    Still can’t see out of the bloody thing lol. When I went to check them out for real, the interior killed it for me. Ded.

    With the window down and arm on the sill, it felt like I was reaching up to the top cupboard - and I’m tall. A normal 5’10” person couldn’t even cruise with their arm on the sill.

    Stupid little things like that killed the car.
    So much this. The entire bloody thing is a blind spot, lol.

    The dealer told me I likely wouldn't see my build until the end of the year, if not Into next year pushing it from a 21' to a 22' build date. I cancelled all together.

    I actually saw a Mach1 yesterday at Marlborough ford. What a beefy looking car. Only thing missing was the recaro package seats. At least it'll be more reliable than the GT350 engines.
    Welp, the factory order was just bumped out by an additional two weeks.

    Alberta has a handfull of Mach 1s on-lot. It could be a summer fling for ya?

    Is this crazy market crazy for everything or just pickups specifically? I put my ZR2 on Kijiji for fun to see if someone wanted to do a lease takeover and people are offering to buy it outright for prices over my owing amount on the ZR2 right now. This is quite tempting...though I just don't know what I would replace it with.

    Debt is almost free right now and the government has been throwing cash money at people.

    People are hoarding everything.

    ^Were you one of the messages? I've literally gotten 9 responses since last night, including offers of outright purchase for more than what I owe. It's insane.

    Why don't you guys just rep each other and not worry about what my moolah?

    I don't think it should be too surprising to think that someone might find it odd that they can make money on a vehicle after keeping it for 8 months and driving 13K km's.

    Don’t worry. None of us find it odd.

    Well I managed to find something I've been looking for. The dealership didn't want to sell it to me originally... Dealer manager wanted it as his demo model and they aren't scheduled to get anymore until June sometime. After a little bit of patience they did the right thing.

    Time to give it the full off-road treatment.
