Just paid $60k for a crew cab 2WD Nissan Titan GAS burner.I'm all about folks doing what they want with their money but dang it man I think I would've got a 3/4 ton with a diesel and at least had some future resale value.Just looks like a really bad purchase IMO.

Whoop his ass.


(seems to be the common comment to anything around here

Bad investment imo

Some folks got more money than they got sense.

IMPEACH

His $ his business.

I agree with the bad purchase but like you said folks can do what they want with their money.

Then again, I'm surprised they are still making that Titan. I have never been a fan of them (even the old models). The reason I say I'm surprised they're still making them is that it doesn't seem like I ever see them on the road. I see 1 or 2 here or there, but doesn't seem like enough to keep them going.

Nah, some folks are just willing to risk their entire budget just so they can look cool. I know a guy with a $45K truck that doesn't even make $25K a year. He has practically nothing.....but he does have a $45K truck.

I hate debt enough that if you put me in that situation I would lose sleep at night. I mean, the hair on the side of my head would fall out

I think it's great for the guy and I really hope it makes him happy.

That's a pretty good way to look at it

I drive a 2007 paid for Silverado. My wife drives a 2004 Avalon....In addition, we sleep in a 1996 model house built on 40 acres...both of which are debt free also due to not driving the new vehicles.

To each his own!

City boys. Go figure.
I'm driving a 95 Tahoe. Been paid off for 20 years.

I got a 2003 Tundra with 200,000 miles that looks like crap because the only thing I care about in a vehicle is it doing what I need done reliably.Hope it lasts until I die. Now if my wife gets rid of me and I gotta go back to hunting those 2 legged white tails I would prolly have to upgrade.

I don`t uber.

Good for him.

Probably rides a lot better than a 3/4 ton.

I like a nice truck , I just don't understand why people buy new ones. Not saying buy a really old one, but I bought my 2011 ford in 2013 had 17k miles on it, sucker stilled smelled new! Don't mind saying I paid $29k for it ,Lariat, Leather, 4x4 premium wheels, all that, but if I had bought a new one with the same options it would have been about $45. I work from home and now its 2017 and it has 60K miles on it, I will be driving this one for a while! I love it.

Also I think he took a F****ing if he paid that much for a 2wd Nissan.

did he just really want a Titan? I know a few folks with them and every single person I've talked to that drives them, if honest, will admit that it wasn't their first choice, but was the only thing they could find that met all their criteria and was within their price range.

but it seems like with a $60k budget, you could buy a brand spankin' new [anything.]

We've done got fleeced by the car companies. It is already done. You'll see when you go look for the next truck. Go check the price of new cars and you'll realize $60k is not abnormally high.

We bailed out the auto giants and what did we get? Higher priced due to low interest rates and extended finance term. Add to that the real kicker... less warranty. Kiss 100k mile bumper to bumper bye bye. They got a bunch of fancy garbage on a work truck that in no way will last 200k miles like it should.

Are the good times really over for good?

$60k is too much for a loaded out 4wd,blows my mind why people won't do their homework and find a good deal

Maybe it was worth it

Hell Yeah...now THAT is a good lookin Truck...

I haven't bought a new truck since 92 and I never will buy another one. I refuse to throw away that kind of money on anything that depreciates. Only thing worth $60,000 is 60 acres of timber land.

Ah heck I just threw up in my mouth a little. No way a titian is worth 60k especially one with that graffiti all over the side of it.

I bought a new 2011 crew cab zz1 when the local dealership was loosing their dealership during all the auto bail out crap. I hope to never buy another new truck and if I do it dang sure wont be a 1500 Silverado. This one may last but I don't care for it as much as my 2003 Tahoe I traded in on it.

I hate the car buying ordeal but have to face it as my commuter car was caught up in diesel gate so I sold it back to VW and am looking for a replacement now.

Anybody got a Rav 4 for sale think that will be my next commuter.

His money, his decision. If that's what he wants to spend it on so be it.

Me exactly. But hey, it runs, havnt had any problems, and honestly, I like it.

Probably could have bought 4 more trucks with the gas bill, but oh well.

Be honest, he paid $60K for the graphic and a truck was included. No way he'd have paid that without the wrap.

He seems to be a loyal Nissan guy,it's his 3rd Nissan he's bought in 10 years.I guess I'm just blown away at 60k for 2wd Nissan.

What does the 4wd with Cummins cost?

I drive a 95 Chevy that was paid for when I drove off with it. It currently has 257,000 miles on it. I also have a 97 Honda Accord that has 240,000 miles on it that was paid for when I drove it home. The wife drives a 2009 volkeswagon Jetta that has 110,000 miles on it that is paid for as well. I've never had a new vehicle and by god I'm wanting one now.

one born every minute.

Let me know the next time you find good timber land for 1k an acre up my way.

Go get one. All my stuff was paid for until I went and bought me a new Truck.. Well new to me, It was a used 2014 model.

Every man should treat himself to a truly nice vehicle at least once in his life, Even it he gets buyers remorse and sells it 3 months later.

I could care less how a man spends his money. But I couldn't do that for a new truck.

I bought a new truck in 2012 and after a yr of driving it I got a company vehicle and got tired of paying a payment for a vehicle sitting in the driveway that only was drove 3k miles a yr. sold it and used the profit to pay for a 05 z71 suburban. Wife's car is 05 Altima, which is sold pending payment tomorrow. So looks like the wife will be getting a slightly newer vehicle in the next wk or so.

Agreed
You know of any 1k per acre land in chilton, Shelby or Bibb counties

Good lawd a 2wd??? My pops purchased a loaded out 2017 GMC Crew SLT Z71 last month for 46 Grand, I hope they gave that ole boy at work a years worth of Vaseline with the sale...

Hell, I don't buy them until they have 200k on them.

Aw, we all have our downfall's and priorities. But yeah, 60K for a 2WD.......wow. If he's got kids, I hope they have some good things.

Saw one last week at Benton Nissan in Oxford, 4wd 4 door with the cummins and glanced at the sticker walking by $72,000!!!!!!

Hey, as long as he didn't spend too much on a fine bottle of whiskey or premium beer.

Or $10 an acre for a lease

I seen a dealer advertise the other day if you bought a Titan or that big SUV they sale you got a free car with it!!! Hope at that price he got the FREE car!!

You actually made a profit after buying it new and selling it a year later? You should be in sales!

I've always felt like the smart one at the boat ramp with the $2500 truck and $3500 boat, parked right between $120,000 rigs.I've gotten 10 yrs use out of the boat and could get all my money back and the truck is worth almost triple what I gave for it.

My dad bought a new f150 for $30k out the door in 2011. 6 years and 100k miles later, he will make money on it when you consider his depreciation write off.

I know that yall are talking about truck prices, but the couple of land value comments caught my attention. I have 98 acres of land in north Alabama loaded with oak and hickory timber that has never been touched, priced it at $1900/acre and people said that was way over priced, but I see land that has been clearcut or has a few scrubby pine on it for over $2000/acre so I'm not really sure how people value land these days. But not meaning to hijack truck cost thread, if you work for it and earn it honestly then do what you want with it.

Most people don't look at the sticker or even know how much they are paying for the vehicle. All they worry about or ask is "How much is my payment?" They don't even care that the finance manager stretched them out 8 yrs to get the payment where they can handle it.

After you get a little older/wiser you go from looking at those people like they have it going on to looking at them wondering how much more debt they can handle. No thanks. Again, I'm not one to tell another man how to spend his money, but I have a 06 Silverado paid for and a 93 Fourtrax I bought several years ago for $1600. I'm one that won't buy any kind of recreational vehicle until I can pay for it. If I can't pay for it, I don't need it.

No such thing as a $60,000 pickup truck, though there is such a thing as a $60,000 price tag on a $30,000 truck.

I'm with Out back...60k could put you on a fair-sized tract of land.

Good point DOA but there's no such thing as even a $30,000 truck. I won't pay more than $10k for any vehicle. Period.
