I bought a new 2004 GMC Envoy fully loaded for 32K back in 2005. It was the last 2004 on the lot.
Contemplating a 47K purchase, so that's a big jump. Mid life crisis purchase.

Maybe sticker was $49 and I payed right at $40?
Otherwise it was my Dakota that I bought 6 months out of college. It was $12,700. Paid cash.
Before that I had a jeep cherokee that my dad bought for $3500.
That's it. Only vehicles I've ever bought in my 40 years on this Erf.

I buy used cars now. I did spend around 38k on a Toyota 4Runner Limited in 1998. That was expensive then. I felt I had something fancy. Also, I loved that car. Somebody crashed into me 7 years or so later and it was totaled.

Although I'm not adjusting for inflation and I'm talking out the door price, which includes trade-in, taxes, miscellaneous poundmeintheass fees, etc.

I don't even like to think about all time. I try to block out those kinds of wasteful numbers.
I bought a 2018 GMC Denali 3500 Duramax for $60k, and sold it to CarMax 3 years later for $59K and some change. So really, I don't count that one. I've got a little less than $40K in my current '21 Ram 1500...and that's gonna HURT when I go to trade/sell it. It's prob worth about $25K now. And it only has 30K miles on it.

$2500 in value from what I paid new. (Private party avg value).
Trade in would be a $5,500 loss.

Teh F150 has been teh best selling truck for like 50 years or something. They hold their value well.
I've been toying with the idea of moving into a Ram 2500 (gas) but I'm not will to come off the ~$40K (plus my truck) I'd need to do it.

If you drive a car that screams “I keep a butterfly knife in my sock”, it might as well be a red and blue banded over the calf athletic sock.

6.0 liter, had no issues, sold it for a good price in 2015. Could probably get 2x more today for it than I got then.

After you'd have to put $10K in the 6.0L to keep it running

What do you hear most from people who had those engines?
"Its a great engine! (mumbling) after you tear it apart and basically redesign it"
