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?
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

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.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Maybe it was worth it 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.

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. 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.

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

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. 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.
