#1 Selling Vehicle in America... Used to be a truck.....Does anyone know by what percentage truck sales are down?......How many units the big dealers were moving compared to now? It seems like the dealers/manufactures are desperate to get rid of them...
When I have talked to them, they dont want to budge off the price much at all. They want to play the 0% interest game....

Better to get price off tag rather then 0% interest. I never saw how people got fooled with that.
Ex: $37,000 truck
Better to take $7k off than 0% interest. So say you want to sell it or trade it in 6 months, better to owe $30k than $37k, roughly. Its as if youre being charged interest as if you were doing the whole 60 months, you instantly got a higher balance to work with.

in my case tho,
I could buy the car for 37,000, and have it paid off in less than 2 years, and not have any interest tacked on to it...
thats the way I do it..
Plus I have never kept a vehicle less than 5 years..
I drive them until they are a problem, or I need a different setup
Not everyones cup of tea tho..

On second thought, I think 0% is good only if you plan on keeping it for the long term, but it is not for those that jump from car to car every year.
Good luck if you do decide to get a truck.
