I was getting worried about you again - supply must be terrible

I was on vacation Monday and Tuesday. Had Army stuff yesterday. It’s still pretty bad inventory wise though

Yankee - are you guys doing the dealer add-on's (protection, nitrogen, etc) to jack the MSRP? I was at our local Chevy dealer and the one sticker I looked at had almost $8000 in dealer added crap - 4000 of that was "ceramic coating"! The rest was general stuff (not wheel upgrades or other performance upgrades)

This was a Silverado Custom (a step up from the Work Truck). Took a 41K truck to 49K - insane. Basically convinced me to never shop there.

We do not have addendums on any of our vehicles (even the hard to get, i.e. the new Escalade, Corvette).

good deal - can you imagine adding 8 grand for some tint, some etching and "ceramic coating"?

The nitrogen in the tires will s the best one

I’m going to ceramic coat my Camaro, It’s the cost that’s hilarious there.

@txbo can get more than that by calling it a "Texas Edition"

We just sold our 3-year old Nissan cargo van to a dealership for more than we paid for it.

 

[YankeeVol]

1 new.

'21 Cadillac XT5

 

[ButchPlz]

@YankeeVol regarding our van, we can't figure out why a dealer would have paid so much for it. Is the shortage of vehicles that bad?

It’s crazy times man. Nothing makes sense. But yes, the lack of new inventory is driving the used market.

Thoughts on mid size trucks? Not the main vehicle but will carry 2 small children from time to time.

I'd go full size if you have kids. Waaaaaaay more room. And honestly, it's not as much of a price difference as one would think.

Hmm it won’t be driven a ton. Going to lease because we mainly use the palisade for trips/kid travel
