2023 price increases are insane

Just for the hell of it i priced out a plain jane 2023 SR5 tonight like the one i bought end of december . Pricing courtesy of Toyota.ca online msrp which I assume is accurate or a reasonable estimate . It is now 2k more than i paid and I thought i got a decent deal . Both of my brother in laws have tacomas and they agreed with me on that ( at least in this low inventory climate ) .
The one I purchased was on the lot , I test drove and made a deal . It was supposedly someones cancelled order . I actually went to look at another truck they had .

Perhaps these increases are a Canada only phenomenon but if they are not is it just a matter of time before no one can afford a new truck .
Keep in mind this has been posted on my second scotch of the night so there is the possibility of slight inaccuracies and perhaps a lot of spelling mistakes .

 

I thought Saturday nights y’all drank Molson?

 

Molson is the standard Monday to Friday drink…

 

seriously? Has Canada not seen inflation nearly everywhere?

 

it is snowing bad i can't see across the road , need a beverage that keeps me warm and reminds me of where my great grand parents came from . Besides Coors bought molsons or was it the other way around .

 

The internet doesn’t say and I can’t recall. However I was shocked that Anheuser-Busch paid 107 billion for SAB Miller. That’s some serious cheddar.

 

It’s chalked up to inflation. Your loonies are shrinking bro.

 

Just glad I got disk brakes

 

That’s nothing - F150’s have gone up almost $5k

 

There’s this thing called inflation. And greed.

 

I agree ! I’m in BC Canada and ALL trucks are through the roof now.. if the Tacoma didn’t have such a great resale value I wouldn’t have put deposit down on my incoming 2023 OR Acess cab … I was reviewing 1/2 ton market too before deciding but here the Ford and Ram are just insane compared to a year or two.

 

In less than 3 months 2 k is fn ridiculous

 

Mostly greed. While some inflation is the norm when the economy is booming ( jobs galore ) the rate we are seeing is manufactured inflation.
The good news is what goes up must ( and will ) come down.

I understand there is some 120 million barrels of oil glutting the market. Supply has far outpaced demand, and they expect oil to drop to $40 a barrel.
Will we see a reflection at the pump?
Will we see a reflection for food prices and everything else?

Pffffft, don't hold your breath.

Rejoice - Capitalism lives.

 

I checked this out earlier. A 2023 model exactly like my 2022 cost $2,000 more now MSRP. I paid sticker last June and was indifferent about it. Now I’m glad I got a 2022.

 

I haven't seen any bargains on anything lately. I miss the days of getting a new car for invoice.

 

I agree, just seems about the the same for every other increase. Go enjoy your truck and lock it up when you’re done.

 

Wow - I just bought in January and the MSRP on the SR is up another $500.

 

Trucks are overpriced because that's all people will buy anymore. In a market of unlimited options, the people have decided that we want one of two vehicles. We either want a full sized four door truck with a 5 foot bed, or a wheeled toaster that's just a Nissan rogue under 20 different brand names.

Sorry, everything else. It's either toaster or man-wagon with an open air trunk.

Good. I hope that those things do become unaffordable, so that we're reminded that there are other, more interesting choices out in the world.

 

It’s not just trucks.
I bought Wildpeaks 2 years ago for $161.00 each. They wore out way fast (33k) so I went to get new ones. $218!
Insane. 30% increase in 2 years.
