Ouch, that will probably be my Ex-Fiance' in that stupid Explorer.

 

How many miles were on the Explorer she traded in?

 

I think she had quite a few, she puts a good 25 to 30 on each year.

 

My dad put 20K a year on his vehicle, but he has good credit and always pays them off early!

 

In the last 10 to 15 years she still owes money on every vehicle she trades in and that balance gets transferred to the new one putting her further under water.

 

That's how she is ending up paying $800 per month for 7 years on this Explorer.

 

What's the MSRP on that Explorer? I just added it up and that amounts to more than $67K!

 

I am not sure what she paid for this one but I know a lot got added in on top, cant even begin to grasp paying almost $70K for an Explorer!

 

I couldn't even grasp paying $70K for a Mustang, but I know $70K+ Mustangs do exist!

 

A loaded 2020 Explorer Platinum comes less than $65K! I'll bet she did not get the Platinum...

 

Yeah, she definitely didn't get the top model, hers does have 2nd row captain chairs if that helps determine what it is.

 

I think those are available on the XLT, but only with leather; Does her Explorer have leather?

 

I think a Shelby GT350 is right around $60K, at least you are getting something other than a run of the mill SUV.

 

Yeah, pretty sure she said heated leather.

 

People are borrowing record amounts of money to buy cars right now...

 

Is the Goodman heat pump installed yet?

 

Yeah the price of new vehicles is off the charts, a TRD Pro Tacoma is as much as my house was!

 

That's a good question, next time I talk to her I will ask, last time she said it was only half installed.

 

I wish houses were that cheap around here...

My Tacoma had a sticker of less than $18K when new, and my dad paid less than $15K!
