To me, that's easy. Saving 50k miles for $5k is a good decision. And I might be in the minority here, but I think black can't be beaten. But I'm not saying those are priced well.....just giving my thoughts on the comparison.

It would be like if a burger shop advertised a $1.95 burger and then added a $1.50 cow feed fee, $2 manure scooping fee, $1.75 butcher fee and a $3.50 grain harvesting fee. Back in the real world, sellers of things are generally expected to include their costs in the price they charge, not...

Didn't reach the reserve at $75k. Using traditional depreciation reasoning, we could say this thing had an MSRP of $85,000 in 2020. Three years and 24k later, $75k should be an absolutely incredible price for the seller. I'm surprised the seller here had such a high reserve. I want to say...

I could watch that guy talk about car maintenance all day long. I can't stand 90% of YouTube stuff, but channels like his make it worth it.

This was posted on Facebook for a while a few weeks ago. I had assumed it sold, but I just saw it on Ebay. It sounds extremely clean. The owner describes it as "near mint." The Facebook asking price was $54-55k, and that's now the buy-it-now. Starting bid (with reserve) is $45k...

Yes, and I hope our politicians can recognize that this is an issue that crosses party lines. It's a win-win opportunity for lawmakers from both sides to go back to their constituents and say they did something for the people.

I wish that nonsense would be banned. It's a deceptive trade practice to advertise one price but require the purchase of a lot of other add-ons. At minimum, dealers should be required to clearly state this at the top of descriptions. Stated prices should include everything except for...

Yes, and people will say "A bear can still get into an RTT, too." That's true, just as it's true that a bear can also get into your house. With enough motivation, there's not much a bear can't do. But most black bears aren't that motivated. Being 6'+ off the ground rather than right at nose...

I don't think I could live in a place where even $5 bills arouse such suspicion! "Who are you, and where did you get this? Let me investigate for a moment."

I think the trucks that are closer to 30-35k are going for about $55k. There's a very clean one in Arkansas posted here right now with 31k for $55k (For Sale - Arkansas - 2013 Lexus LX570 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/arkansas-2013-lexus-lx570.1305494/). Closer to 60k, I think things are...

Well, that's unfortunate. You probably made the right call, though. A gut feeling is a big deal when doing a remote transaction like that.

It's not so much the overall time. It's the overall ease. We do a lot of short weekend trips, and it's easy to feel like a weekend trip isn't worth it if it gets too involved. Sometimes we'll even pop out for one night. If you're setting up camp for a week, sure....no big deal. And as...

Forgive me in advance for reviving a dead thread. I am putting together a 200 series build (LX), and I'm about to pull the trigger on my third RTT. Aside from actual mountaineering, I doubt I will ever use a ground tent again. There are a few reasons for this, so let me lay out the...

I'll do a little build thread at some point in the next few weeks. I have an LFD full rack coming (should be the second or third full rack they have on a 200 series), and I'm mounting some 275/60/20 KO2s. I'll also do a mild AHC lift with spacers. The goal with this is family camping...

Yes, but as I mentioned, this big gap isn't showing up in actual listings. I ran separate searches for 2013 and 2015 trucks, both with 90-100k miles. The gap was maybe $2k....nowhere close to $8-9k. I think it's much more likely that something funky is going on with KBB's data. You could...
