Bye Bye Red Truck

Not sure that all the tradein difference is whether it is made in the USA or not. Quite often +demand+ is the biggest denominator. Vans used to be much higher - both in buying and tradein - now it is SUVs & pickups. I have passed on buying anything brand new for quite a while - a low mileage vehicle that is a couple of years old, seems to keep it's value very well. New vehicles drop several thousand dollars the minute you drive them home.

My ego just isn't that big, to have to have NEW! I don't have to impress anyone but myself & the SAVINGS impresses ME more.
