Coffee And Morning Thoughts for the day.......

Posted
  • Staff

I have a gut feeling that with what is happening in the auto industry these days that the old cars, being a lot of them are already valuable, are now going to go thru the stratosphere hitting astronomical prices. I'm talking the kind of money you can retire on. Even 70's 80's vintage are going to be in greater demand. Watch over your second gen truck.... nice ones are only starting to go up in price.

 

That's my thoughts or my jet fuel coffee........Mopar Man drinks 90 weight with 5 spoons sugar lol :thumb1:

      Haven't there been other tuners that tweak the emission systems on vehicles that the government took criminal and/or civil action against?

      Throw you some Amaretto and Irish cream in there and you will have the coffee that made chickens famous.

    AOC would have something to say about spewing that particulate matter out your exhaust pipe. I don't think a simple EGR would be very effective.

    I have noticed used vehicle prices rise steadily too.Besides becoming rare, I think the older vehicles seem to go up in value because a new truck will cost you 50k give or take! A new-used will be 30k! All of a sudden that 20 year old truck looks good for 10k...Keep a few K on the side for upgrades and Good to go.

    What do 2nd gens with 200k miles go for in your neck of the woods?

    Not sure what this guy is smoking! Drugs are bad! 25k obo!

    Thats extreme, but you will see most of them above 10k with high miles and beat up here

    Nice ones will be asking 15k i guess.

     

    Bought mine for 7K over 8 years ago with 111k mi. Got a great deal as brakes were fried and scary shaky to drive and no one wants an automatic.

    Living near the big city as I do everything gets picked over pretty quickly. You have to take what you can get. I finally found a very nice all original 2001 Laramie in nice shape. I had to pay 16,500  to get it.:spend:I'm glad tho as I needed it for work. It is being good to me so far even tho it had 190k on the clock when bought.
