You're Pre-Approved!

[SubVet]

That seemed to be area specific though. When Tom @SubVet posted about getting top dollar for his in NC I ran it through just to see and it was only like $26K here in AZ.

Yeah I must have hit them at the right time They offered $36K which is about $6000 more than any dealer.

Yeah you lucked out with that one!

Hope everything's going good Tom. You need to come back by here more often. Just because you have a El Camino I mean Ridgeline doesn't mean you're not welcome. ?

I'm getting all the junk-mail you guys are!
To answer the question: I would need to be at 50-55k miles; which is my initial trade-in plan. I'm at 19k now after 1.5 years.
OR to truncate that plan I'd need to be blown away by something new on the mid-size truck market like a slam-dunk Mopar product [really dont see that coming anytime soon]..
Possibly a realistically priced mid-sized hybrid by any manufacturer..not that ugly Tesla or similar monstrosity. I've said in other threads that my wife's '20 Escape Hybrid is amazing and get 40 MPG.
I'd be excited if FoMoCo came out with a hybrid Ranger and that would get me to the stealership for at least a test drive.

stealership

Hahahahahahahaha

I just received a letter from my dealership telling me I had been pre-approved for a large chunk of change toward a new vehicle because, apparently, "our records indicate that you currently own a vehicle we are very interested in acquiring." Fat chance!

Question:
What would it take for you to part with your Ranger?

I got one of those letters just a couple of weeks ago. Then followed by many emails until I called the dude and explained where I was on my Ranger build....he understood, emails stopped...lol

I'm here pretty much every day reading. Since I don't have my truck anymore there's not much I can offer after a year-and-a-half of Ranger world. My brother completely abandoned this forum. I still support the Ranger and if I wanted a body-on-frame truck I would have kept the Ranger. Once I drove a unibody all-wheel-drive pick up I was convinced. I don't go off-road except maybe fire roads so I don't need the articulation of a body-on-frame truck

Carvana will give you top dollar.

Do they have someone that will help you put it in the vending machine?

 

[Motorpsychology]

For some reason, every vehicle I have had was the best i had ever had. At the time. Except for the Chevettes. Those were crap and I just made them look good.

Chevettes plural ??

 

[Motorpsychology]

Chevettes?

There should have never been more than one.

My mother went from a 1972 buick skylark 350 four barrel to a chevy chevette. She hated that chevette. Couldn't get out of its own way.

During the 1979 gas crunch, there was a Chevrolet-Cadillac dealer that had a promotion which included a free Chevette with each Eldorado sold.

 

[Motorpsychology]

Lol..The millennials are like who the heck's this Rick guy?

So are the Boomers. Must be a gen-X thing.

 

[port43]

Chevettes plural ??

Yes, first and third new car. Totaled the first by getting rear-ended sitting at a stop light and then all but destroyed the other by falling asleep on the expressway. Local dealer gave me $500 for a trade on a Probe GT and it wasn't even worth $200.

Pay attention now...look a butterfly?

I'm at the tail end of the Boomers '64.

This might help you. ?

I get a periodic email that I can "upgrade" to the current year Ranger ... it means longer term, monthly payment, basically for a truck that is 1 year newer but so similar in package that is not really an upgrade. It is a little bit of off-target marketing.

If it was the newer version of my truck ... with the same payment it would make sense ... but increasing payment and term ... no bueno
