What strange days we live in.
Passing car dealer lots and seeing them empty give me a real uneasy feeling. Seeing empty store shelves which is common in 3rd world countries does not bode well.
Clean used trucks are in high demand. I checked the value of my 2014 RAM and it is around $20k. Even for these days that seem a bit high. But there are other things I'm thinking about. I really wouldn't mind banking the cash. I bought the truck when there was a great need to haul things and pull a trailer. Those things have kind of run their course. I work from home so I don't drive it much. Literally I'm driving it to the county trash collection center once a week. Maybe 10 miles round trip. For most all errands we take the wife's 300. For basic pickup truck duties; I have a '79 Ramcharger that needs a transmission. I can have that on the street again investing about $500 in it. Reason I've not done that yet is I don't have a garage or any kind of shop space here so I would have to work in the dirt. (long story).
Funny as it seem I wouldn't mind driving a 43 year old truck. I would fit in better with the locals for sure.
Anyone else considering parting with their RAM in these strange days?
