That might have been a bad time though - was during Cash 4 Clunkers so all the bottom feeders were busy getting cars from Obama. The market might be better now. Hmmm...
No shit. C4C rapped the used truck market out here. Once upon a time nice Tahoes, Exploders and Grand Cherokees could be had for $500-2,500 all day long... at least nice enough to survive as a winter beater for a few seasons. Now, fuck your lucky to find something running at those prices... they all "disappeared" cause people got taken in by a dumb gimmick.


Dealerships who where hurting and would have gladly knocked off 4k on the sticker suddenly where demanding full retail, and a trade in or private sale that would have netted you 3k, you now got 4-4.5k..... ok, so you lost over $2,000 to get the "Deal of a life time"
