True but every dealer was adding $20k+ surcharge on their allotment so everyone who got one was paying over $100k and had a 1+ year wait time. That's why every used one you see now is still the cost of a new one because the sellers are so underwater on them. Now you could negotiate a new one on the lot for well under $90k.I remember back in the old days
In comparison a '20 F150 Lariat was $60k then as well though ($85k now).

Zero sympathy. Dumb enough to pay the premiums? You deserve it.
For that model, and on a car you're going to drive, for sure. Sometimes it works out but you've got to be selective (C7 ZR1 knowing it's a one year and final year as well as any Ford GT40 those guys have all worked out nicely).
Sure. But paying premiums on odyssey, sienna, Maverick or any car that’s normal and high production…fools.
Paying extra for a GT3RS or anything in limited numbers…one can make a profit.

There were some dealerships that weren't jacking up the price, but they were few and far between. I haven't found a car I like enough to pay over list. The Honda dealer downtown on Richmond and Sherbourne ****** me off when I went to buy an S2000 and told me they wanted $50k even though the list was $38k. I bought elsewhere.
I’ve had multiple dealers tell me I’m out to lunch asking for a discount on their cars…shockingly those cars are still up for sale….6-8 months later.
Guess I wasn’t out to lunch as far as they said.
First time we’ve taken the Maverick to the cottage with all 3 kids.
Not as roomy as the odyssey but 3 seats fit (2 boosters + 1 forward facing).
All the stuff fit. Comfortable. Efficient.
Overall very happy with how the Maverick is turning out for our family.

Found a truck that is of interest to me.
Nissan frontier 198k for a few hundred bucks. Know and trust the current owner.
Everything works, but has some rear fender rot and a busted leaf spring in the rear.
Anyone know where I could get it "safetied" without breaking the bank?
This will be 90% farm truck 10% home Depot runs.

Outlook not so good. Busted leaf spring is easy to replace (afaik, busted spring is automatic fail). See section 8 for rust. If it could hurt a pedestrian, that's a fail. Imo, if a pedestrian is tangled in your rear fenders, they are already pretty hurt.

How much are you looking to spend on a decent truck?

Good luck. Any mechanic I've talked to over the last 6 months have said they're a lot more scared of ministry repercussions now that they are required to take photos and measurements and document things better. Even getting my trailer safetied was a bigger deal this year. I'm sure if you head Brampton way you may increase your odds but who knows.
Still searching for my dream truck for about a year now. 2022 F250 lariat diesel. I check about once a week. Still the only thing coming up (sparsely) are stripped XL and XLT work trucks. One came up in Hamilton a couple weeks ago at Ford dealer but sold within a day or two. They are also still holding their value well, can get a 2023 or 2024 gmc or chevy for about the same price as a 22 Ford. Waiting for all these people that will supposedly default on their loans but not having any luck.
You probably know this but checking once a week likely won't cut it. Put a search-save in both Kijiji and Autotrader and Marketplace so you get notified the same day one gets listed otherwise it'll likely get snagged before you even see it if it's a desired vehicle.Good luck.

Sports/muscle cars are dropping in price fast over the past few months. Maybe they do this every year as Spring turns to Summer and people have stopped looking and already have they're ride for the year at this point but I'm seeing cars that were scooped at one price 2 months ago now sitting at the same price now.
I couldn't get a good enough deal on a 2-3yr old truck and everyone wanted 20k less than a new one on a truck that's 3yrs old and has 75k on it with no warranty so I ordered new at a good price.
Concur, OEM dealer network can typically see all in country stock and what's due to land in Canada shortly.

That’s level of trim in a 250/2500 is common with farmers, they need the sturdier truck and they almost always go for the premium trims.Good luck.

Problem is those trucks are worked, and farmers sweat them hard and put on big kms before they sell.
Like I stated this one would have been a few hundred bucks, as I know the owner.
Currently My truck budget is zero dollars.
