Buy 2023 37 or wait for 2024

[GordoJay]

I didn’t think Ford could design a front end uglier than the new SuperDuty… they have out did themselves with the 24 Raptor:

I like the new look. Stealthy. It looks almost like a plain-Jane F150 if you get a dark color.

 

[Question]

Guess I better hope another one that I’m looking for shows up somehow, but sounds like they are stopping productions for 23s if I’m understanding it right or are they still pumping them out until 24s go into production?

So does this mean you’re upgrading?

Some are saying rates are going up again in August.

The fed is more than likely looking at two 1/4 point FF rate bumps the rest of this year. However, auto rates aren’t necessarily tied to the FF rate so we will have to wait and see how the markets react to see what auto rates do.

Man, it’s worse than I thought. And what the hell is going on with the bumper on the far right one?

All other things equal - the newer MY truck will always be worth a few grand more at trade in.

The plan is to upgrade in MY2025. I'm not happy about the ginormous screen and lack of physical knobs and buttons, but every car in the world is headed that direction because it's cheaper to build. I'm not eager to jump yet because it's so hard to get invoice.

I hear you on that.

You know something we don't know; you think getting invoice will be easier in 2025?

It's unlikely to be harder. It's a gamble. Which I could lose. And I'm OK with that. I'm a strong believer in buying the last production year of a generation. They tend to have fewer issues and demand is usually lower because it's not the new shiny thing and folks are starting to speculate about the new new thing. If we get an economic slowdown and inventory builds up? Easy peasy.

Those alien bug eye headlights and DOOD grille are very stealthy. With those kind of aesthetics, you’ll be able to pick up an R for invoice. Just give it time sir.

I thought the same thing with that partial white front bumper. I guess Ford is testing a color matched bumper where it can “identify” more as a regular F150 lol.
