    To go a step further related to my post above (post 69), a recent news story affirmed my exact post....
    People are buying older vehicles because "Used Car Prices Are Insane" ......
    Used car buyers pushed into older vehicles due to rising costs

    I'm just going to buy $500 #### boxes from now on. If it lasts a month its cheaper than a payment. Nothing built by any manufacturer the last few years really excites me anyways.

    I'm like you , I bought a nice low mile 2013 silverado about 6 months before the covid hit for 17k and it only comes out of the garage on nice days when the roads are dry .
    Last year I got lucky and grabbed up a 95 silverado for a work truck for 1200.00 , it's not pretty but runs perfect and everything works .
    Mama's newer Volkswagen suv got bought cheap with 40k on the clock .
    The big 3 and the uaw can kiss my aching arse cause at age 60 I'm done buying new cars ....go right ahead and strike! Right along with their greedy employers .

    First person that understands this on the internet! I agree and have been saying the same thing forever. Know your true worth to the company before running off at the mouth!

    It’s called capitalism and every single industry around the world have done the exact same thing. Let’s hope they all go broke, too. :rolleyes:

    Since when does the government get to pick and choose who sticks around? We bailed gm out and they went bankrupt anyway.Why didn't we bail out YRC? Maybe management was a little too tight with political funding?
