...And we complain about the price of Pros.....

My first house cost $72000

 

There is an ass for every seat...

 

I like it, not the price though.

 

This is no different than that $90k Tacoma some dealer was wanting.

 

I haven't seen that one.

 

I think I paid $69,500 for my first house in 1982. I was "lucky" to assume a 16.5% mortgage when the going rate was 20%.

 

Sorry.

The smart ass comment wasn't needed or expected from a moderator. Class act.

 

Sadly, the tires will never see dirt.

 

You must be new here

It is very different. $69k is a modest reach from the msrp of a loaded Gladiator.

$90k is an insane leap from the price of a loaded Tacoma.

 

Really cannot understand how or why people pay most-of-a-hundred-grand on cars. I think I do okay, but most calculators 'suggest' i spend no more than about $40,000 on a car. God - even thinking of that gives me hives. And I am a car-guy for sure. My current car - 07 Mini CooperS (see avatar) was $7000. And it's hilariously fun. As much fun, probably, as a 2017 CooperS at, what? $17000? more?

I'm gonna spend a bit when I pick up a Tacoma when I get back from Europe. But certainly won't look for anything newer than about 2015.

 

This was for a 1300 square foot two car garage in 2007.

 

They named it “honcho” who is their target audience holy shit. That is so embarrassing lol.

 

Still ugly you can put lipstick on a pig ,it's still a pig.

 

Did the dealership damage this "Jeep" prior to applying this custom paint job? Why bother with the paint work? The vehicle would sell with out the dress up pkg, or charge the same mark up for the rest of the add ons, minus the paint work.

 

Is there anyone STUPID enough to spent 70K on a gladiator? Just WOW... Im way better off having a Raptor instead.

 

Yeah I mean, I know we're doing really well and even paying what I do for a $32k Tacoma feels like a huge obligation. All the financial advice articles tell me I should be able to buy this monstrosity without issue but that would be over twice what I pay now. That just doesn't feel sustainable with any sort of responsibility assumed.
