I did not. I test drove a 2019 F150, 2020 GMC Sierra and a 2020 Ram. The Ram surprised me and is tied with the F150 currently at most interest. However, discussing with the salesman, being the used market is what it is right now, it makes more sense for me to consider leasing a new truck instead with the option to buy at lease end. The cost of a new truck is not much more than used right now.

At the risk of sounding like your dad, leasing is the most expensive way to get a vehicle. Salesman recommends it because it makes the dealership the most money. Not because he wants to help you out. Ask 'em what the interest rate on that lease is.. 12 to 14% is about average.. better to pay the credit union 3-5%. If you can wait until computer chips come back in stock, there may be some real deals on a new truck.

You spelled Chevy wrong.

Thanks, I'll take that into consideration.

Managed to get a magazine for my CZ 455 on the 30th before they went OOS. It shipped on the 31st and showed up in my mailbox yesterday the 2nd. I do believe Go Outdoor Gear is a GTG site and I will be ordering from them again.

Ditto….never lease a vehicle. Just be patient, the market will come back down. The market is crazy right now, I’ve been offered $10,000 more for my 2018 GMC 3500 than what I paid for it 2 years ago….from a dealer…

Exactly. My CX-5 is worth about $7k more than I owe on it. Does me no good since the new models are hard to find and too expensive when you do.

The other thing to watch out for at a dealership is the finance manager. If he's trying to sell ANYTHING to you, you don't want it. He'll happily sell you everything from an extraordinarily overpriced extended warranty to a $200 undercoating job for $1200. Go with your financing already secured. 0% interest never is. Only difference is they'll overcharge you up front. And if you miss a payment or are late, even on the last payment, you owe ALL the interest. Go in knowing what you think is a fair price. If they want to haggle you above that, get up and leave. Make 'em give back anything they asked for in order to take your offer to the sales mgr, go find your trade and if they chase you down you prolly bought a car at your price.
