Kind of kicking myself for letting myself lose out on a f250 that I don't think will come up again anytime soon. It was for sale for 12 weeks at a dealer while I was out of the country over the winter, I came back and made them a somewhat low (but I felt fair offer given how long it had been sitting, probably around what they paid for it to be honest) Long story short they came down a bit but we were $1000 apart, and when I made up my mind to buy it a week later, it finally sold... had a very rare factory installed Warn winch ($4,000 option) $700 ford bed ramps, $500 center console safe, factory spray in liner, etc and extremely clean and low km for the year....
Now will be paying the same $$ or more for one with more than double the km on it, and not as many options from what's been popping up for sale. Prices haven't dropped a penny since last summer on this model... Every single one that gets listed is within a grand or two of last years prices, if not more. So much for a bad economy.

There's going to be one coming through the auctions soon. There is no way @GP_RZ 's truck requires $42K to get it back on the road. As a work truck, the salvage title may not matter as you plan on using it for work which beats up the value of any truck.
 

I know this is borderline ridiculous, but I want one so much.

With Ford doing their LOBO trucks, good on Dodge for joining the party and seeing how the market is. We may not see many of these trucks sell in Canada but the US is a plenty with people putting supercharger kits on V8 trucks right out of the showroom floor.
Buddy of mine has a TRX and loves it (he has no use for a truck, never puts anything in it, just wanted it). Obviously these trucks aren't for everyone but hey if they sell, cool. I like it as it reminds me of my youth with the lowered trucks, S10's with V8 swaps, and the GMC 454.
 
Wonder what insurance will be like . Or when the insurance companies don’t want to touch them . My sixty yr old friend is just over two grand for his Raptor, he drives under ten thousand Km per

Well I ended up getting a new 26 f250, Insurance was trying to give me the gears, last Monday the agent called and said it going to be around 42k to fix your truck by Trillium Ford Alliston, so it look like it will be a total loss. I asked him if i should go and clear out truck and start looking for another truck, he said he would advise that. 20 minutes later I was at dealership clearing out my belongings, then went in and asked sales if they could get a truck I saw in Ottawa, said yes and left a deposit. Fast forward to Friday and get home and wife says they want to fix the truck for 42k...I was ******, turns out the agent opened his mouth to soon, we complained they reviewed the calls and had to do the right thing...cut me a cheque for 70k , so kicked in another 10k and got the truck I wanted with 430 gears, pick up next week just waiting for new tires and line-x installed....thank the lord for recorded phone calls, all happy now!
