Bought a New Truck!

[BlueSky]

This week I had a lapse of sanity and bought a new 2023 Truck.  It's a Nissan Titan Pro4X.  I was cruising through Autotrader just to see what was available and I saw this truck advertised with a $6500 discount.  So I checked to see what the real price was and they added some imaginary service fees.  I wasn't interested so they dropped those extra fees.  Then after waiting a couple days they called and added another $500 discount for my "military service".  I did serve but it was for 3 years starting in 1967.    So I ended up with a $7,000 discount off MSRP with the doc fee as the only adder.  Then,     they financed it a 0% for 60 months!  

I tried and tried to insert a photo of the truck but it always inserted upside down no matter what orientation I made to the photo before inserting!!!!

Great deal.  Especially right now when a lot of dealers are still trying to get more than MSRP.  When Eileen totaled my truck last year, I couldn’t find one and ended up ordering one and paying MSRP but everybody else was trying to add 2500 to 5000 bucks.

And yesterday, I sold my beloved old truck, a 2002 F150 Supercab Lariat FX4 with the 5.4L engine.  I bought it in 2009 with 69k miles on it and it had 170k.  That truck took me to Wisconsin, Homestead FL several times, Wyoming, and Montana as well as many trips not as far.  And I sold my 2005 Dodge Magnum RT (Hemi V8) on Wednesday that I bought new.  I was overwhelmed with inquiries from the ads on Facebook Marketplace.  The truck received over 2100 clicks and 70 or more inquiries.  The Magnum got 20 or more inquiries but it sold the morning after placing the ad late on Tuesday night.  I never thought I would sell the Magnum but after spending so much on the new Titan, I couldn't justify keeping it. The Titan is powerful enough and comfortable enough that I won't miss the power and comfort of the Hemi Magnum so much.  My wife has her car and we didn't need 3 vehicles.
