At This Price Who Is Selling Their 200?

[tacoduck]

I remember the Great Recession of 2008. Couldn’t sell a v8 powered suv. I had a mint 06 f250 diesel lariat 4wd. Took it to carmax, and they offered me $12k. Sold it in 2011 for $25k.
My point is, gas prices + recession = buyers market. If the stock market sells off 30%, house values drop, and gas remains expensive, we should see a major correction in prices for these vehicles.

That said, if I had 50mil in the bank and bought a ski lodge in Montana, I’d have zero issues dropping $100k on a mint land cruiser. Look at Doug demuro. Dude just dropped $50k on a LC that he can trash while he visits Martha’s vinyard every summer. Great addition to his stable of cars.

I had considered selling ours when the dealer offered $95K with 20K on the clock. Even my BIL offered the same as his wife wanted one after riding in ours to replace her aging Sequoia. I can't budge, there's simply nothing else on the market that I'd like as much especially when considering the current market values on everything. I hope to have ours ten years from now regardless of gas prices and the push towards electric.

Yeah, I have a hunch my next vehicle will be electric as well, but I don’t feel like any of the options are mature or proven enough yet. The Rivian options look promising but need to be out in the wild for at least a few years before I would consider buying one. The charging infrastructure also needs to improve.

Mine is not for sale---worked too hard to be able to buy it in the first place, and to replace it would be a let down, unless I could get a G-Wagen but those are even more money.

Perfectly content, last tank was 15.98 and that was not trying to save fuel. $4.299 here, just gonna deal with it.

Not only a lot more money up front, but having owned G-Wagons, the long term costs would be MUCH higher. Parts are quite a bit more expensive and the need for ongoing random repairs will be much higher as they aren't at Toyota's level of quality control.

Ditto, the GW is the only SUV I have any interest in and for said reasons I'd likely never get one. We just got 21.4 mpg on the way to the coast with a 20mph wind at our back, it was glorious lol. We've run the numbers many times, it doesn't make sense to make moves for the sake of fuel economy, better to just ride it out and be happier in the end.
