i checked kbb and carmax and my car is valued at $38000 , this is more than i paid for. what in the wide world of sports is going on here?

Finding someone which will pay that much could prove difficult.

A dealer offered me $30,000 for my 2019 with 25,000 miles on it. The sticker was only $33,000 in 2019.

Crazy stuff going on.

A dealer just offered my bud $35,000 for a Chevy that he bought for 31K a year & a half ago.

He asked because his boss sold a 5 year old duramax to them, not traded, sold for cash, $42,000. I thought he was BSing me till I got on the dealers website & saw what they were asking for used units.

Price gouging? Or is only Midway USA that does that?

carmax offered, considering it.

Problem is, you won't find a replacement in today's market for anywhere near that price.

It's been happening a lot to people lately.

Hard to get new inventory and they're paying a lot to get used.

Harley cut back production as part of their turn around. This spring they have me 300 more for my old Road King than I paid for it in 2018, new with 0 miles on it.

So now I have a new Road Glide.....

Saw a 2016 Ford F150 XLT 4 DR 4WD for 41500 at my local dealer,it has 40,000 on the odometer. I paid 43000 for my 2016 F150 with similar equipment.

It looks as a lack of new computer chips causing demand to outpace available vehicles. Throw in all the extra “benefits” and ppl are willing to pay more for what they can get now. We have a 19 sequoia TRD that dealer offered $3200 more than we paid for it in feb of 19. Problem is the same model and package in a 2021 if you can find one is 14k more than we paid for ours. Didn’t take long to realize we better just stay with ours.

I'm in the process of listing my wife's 2019 Cherokee trailhawk and my 2019 ram Laramie. I already have cash offers for significantly more than we paid for them new.

I'll dive my old hunting truck and my wife will drive our new pacifica until prices come back down, of they do.

computer chips are made like sausages, inventory will go up quickly. i say sell if you can

Problen is you wouldn't be able to find another vehicle comparable to yours .

Sold my 2019 Superduty for $1500 more than I paid for it 2.5 years ago.

carmax offered $38300 and $2000 tax saving (?) on buying a car from them, Toyota dealer said they will match it for more!! meeting them tomorrow.

eventually want a Tundra TRD but can wait.

Ref "tax saving"... You only pay tax on the amount owed if you trade, as opposed to selling it to them (or anyone else) and paying full amount for the new one.

Tacoma's already had the second highest resale of all vehicles, second only to the Ford Raptor.

For those of you who get a check every two weeks, think about what this does to businesses that need vehicles to provide goods or services. It's not just automobiles either.

Now is the time to sell stuff if you don't need to replace it.

I have a 2000 f250 super duty 4x4 207x with 7.3 I’m afraid to put a price on it ,be hard to replace

No, it won't, at least right now.

My buddy is the top mechanic at a massive Toyota dealership near here. I had lunch with him just yesterday. He said they have two.... **TWO**.... new trucks on the lot. I am scheduled for a Toyota Care service next week and he told me he'd let the manager know I was coming. I am not looking to sell my 2019 Tundra (I love it) but I got a HELL of a deal on it and if I can make $10k on it I will.

The new generation Tundra comes out next year and he told me, is will blow away my current Tundra. By then the market will hopefully have corrected. I can drive my Jeep until then.

We'll see what they say. I doubt I will pull the trigger but the used truck market is STUPID right now.

Your dollars are worth less.

A few months ago my 2018 ZR2 had a trade in value of $24500, today with 5,000 more miles it's trade in number is $31000.

Go figure!

CoWorker bought a new F250 last year decided to go with a F350 duallie for towing a camper, the dealer offered nearly 10k over what he paid for the F250 last year

sold for $38,300

In mar 2020 I bought a 2 owner 2015 Cc silverado with the Duramax with 103000 mi. Extremely clean in all aspects. Not an LTZ but still highly optioned. I gave 32k. it now has 107k mi

I have seen some crazy numbers being asked for these used pick ups now I have no doubt I could sell mine for 42k in a day or two.

Im looking at Tacomas today. 40k for used 2017-19.

Not a good market for buyers right now but someone must be willing to overpay given the trade-in values being offered.

do a comparison on the 2nd Gen (05-15) vs the 3rd Gen (16-current)

I've had 2-2nd Gens with the 4.0L V6 (10 minute oil changes)

The newer 3.5L has the silly oil cartridge/canister

3rd Gen people complain a lot on the transmission...

We just sold a 2015 Taco TRD sport 4 door with 80k on the clock.

Paid 28 for it 3 years ago with 30k miles

Sold for 30k.

Nice time to sell if you don’t have to buy another.

Dealership where my wife bought her Tacoma has been pestering her to sell her 2019 Tacoma Limited 4x4 to them, said they would give her what she paid for it, she told them to pound sand.

That’s Fugkin ugly . Duck would make it look ok though with him sitting in it . LOL

Rare photo of the Toyota designer responsible for the 2022 Tundra grille design:

That thing is hideous to look at.

New Toyota Tacoma’s are selling faster than Toyota can build them.
Many dealers are charging 2-5K MORE than MSRP, and getting it.
Trucks are often sold weeks, even months BEFORE they get to the dealer.
I was shopping a few months ago and became frustrated.
Finally found a dealer I trusted and told him what I wanted.
They told me they had one coming in 3-4 weeks.
Gave him a deposit.
Paid MSRP
Got the truck I wanted, and I could sell it tomorrow for more than I paid.

Things are crazy right now. My buddy has a 2012 Tundra SR5 Crewmax with 49k miles and the dealer just offered him $35k cash when he had it in getting the oil changed.

I took my Toyota in for service yesterday and there was a 4 dr Tacoma TRD sport on the floor with a Factory sticker 49745. That is 18 k more then my 2014 TRD with similar equipment.

my car is for sale https://www.carmax.com/car/20294622?adcode=EM_ComingSoon_Available

I just saw a 2017 here with 33,000 miles loaded. They were asking $39,500. The dealer about an hour from here has a new one for 41k.

Man then I took it in the shorts on my '14 in March....

DC SB 4x4.....manual.....pd $23K in '17 w/70K miles

Sold it w/96K miles 3 yrs later for a mere $26K
