We were all asked to stay on and given a health bonus for staying. I had to leave after the first bonus . I was so friggin bored. There was absolutely nothing to do and the managers were going home at noon on a regular basis. It was kinda fun for the first month or so, but got really old after that.
No thank you, that would suck.

That is one of the cleanest trucks I have ever seen but not worth that kind of money at all! It's still a 2001 truck!
Good morning Troy.

Happy last day working for a major moron Friday Dave!



Good morning Troy.

Good morning Jay

Wow, that is one clean truck. I think it looks like a brand new one right off the showroom floor. Jay I know that truck probably sold in the high 30's. Vewry close to his asking price. So it's 11 yrs old, used and he wants original sticker?
Good morning Cory.

This one is equally as ridiculous.

I would NOT pay $10K for this, no matter what the mileage.

1992 Ford F-250 XLT 4x4

The extreme low mileage for the age can present it's own issues if it was never driven and sat.

Sure it is in this case Dustin. The truck is hardly a classic. You are comparing apples and oranges.

I have to agree with Jay on this one Dustin. Not really comparing like vehicles.

Good morning Mike! Good thing you went to the gym after all those donuts. They cancel each other out that way! LOL

Tell ya what, I'll give you the sticker price on a catalytic converter in 2001. Heck, I'll buy 10 at that price. Those aren't classic either.

I'm not saying it's worth that (it's not), but what you pay for something doesn't determine it's future value.

Obviously we see this situation differently so I will walk away from this one.

Looks like the Super Duty pushed all the cars onto the sidewalk in this picture.

I'm apparantly in an argumenative mood today...

(but I think we view it the same, just have different logic to get there )

Ok, back from the eye doc. I got an eye exam and another year of contacts for under $4. Then went to lunch at Mc Donalds with the kids and spent $14. So I got contacts and lunch for under $20. Thats is pretty good.

What you pay for something has little to do with it's value. Supply and Demand determine the value of a vehicle. The supply of this type of truck compared to it's demand is very high. This results in a low value.

The supply for a '66 Mustang (in any condition) is very low. The demand is high compare to the supply. This results in a much higher value.

This is the fundamental of how our markets work.
