Trading in seemingly new trucks?
 
I've been noticing several threads of people getting new trucks and getting rid of '09s and '10s. Maybe I'm weird but DAMN, how can you justify that? Are people getting insane trade-in values on their "old" trucks? If so, it almost makes me want to look into trading in my '10 4.6 3v for a '11 5.0 EB. Still love my truck though

I bought a 2011 someone traded in with 7000 miles on a new HD edition truck. I saved a ton!

I buy a new truck every 2 to 3 years. I have a 2010 now with 13,000 miles and I'm looking to buy new next spring or fall. I like keeping that warranty all the time and I consider what I get in trade a good deal. At least I have so far.

Hell I keep mine until they die of old age and mileage....

As soon as the ashtray is dirty, trade it in!

I don't smoke so I just wait for the floormats to get dirty.

I traded in my 10 Lariat for an 11 Lariat Eco and pay the same plus I got the Ford extended warranty and maintenance and I put no money down. I can assure you that if I had not got a good deal, I would have just kept the 10.

I just get tired of any vehicle after a year or so; my normal pattern is to trade every 2 years but this time I was tired of the tranny problems with my '10 Lariat that the dealership refused to acknowledge.

I may not be the smartest or most financially secure person around but I do enjoy a new vehicle! :)

Can you explain this more to me? Have you increased the amount of months you are financing the truck over?

I find it hard to believe that you traded in a used 2010 and got a new 2011 and still owe the exact same amount on it as you did previously???

Obviously his new loan has to be for a longer term
