Got tired of my lady complaining about the 2017 Lincoln SUV.

Today. I took us back to the place we belong... the poorhouse.

And for how many years?

As of 4/1/2021, I owe no one nothing and it's dammed nice.

It ain’t so bad. It’s an ‘18 so somebody else paid down the depreciation for me.

We traded a paid for Mercedes for the Lincoln last year. It was a mistake. We lost a little on the whole ordeal but worth it in the long run to keep the red-head happy.

And that’s the last car I plan to buy her so I’ll save in the long run ......

I'm the only German engineering in my family. My oldest and only sister is a mistake!

Every time I had to work on or buy a part for our old one, I would refer to it as Germany’s revenge for all that crap back in ‘45. Lol

Out with the old in with the new.

2019 f150 purchased 16 months ago as a dealer demo during truck month with a 5K private cash offer from ford. sticker was 51K out of pocket was 32k or 34k for the xlt with almost every option. It did not offer several things I wanted in the xlt package but for the price I could live with it.

I got offered 36K trade in for it and went with a new xlt with all the options I wanted as they were added in 2021.

So I got paid 2-4K for putting 14K miles on a truck lol.

I was going to do the hybrid f150 but the thought of if any problems arise it would almost have to go back to the dealer for work and the thought of a new first year electric motor in the transmission just did not seem worth the power gains.

So I nixed it and just got another 3.5 twin again. it does have a power outlet in the back just not the 7.4kw Think its 2.Xkw

And for the people who say they are not willing to deal on new trucks are not trying hard enough.

I know its complicated with a trade but after 3 dealers all offering 35-36.5 I figured that was the best I was going to do and should not skew the numbers much.

Sticker was 57700, out the door was 54K and they tried to sneak in almost 3K in dealer added stuff. Not on my watch. I ended up letting them keep the "what they paid for it ya right" on a few things . One was a spray in liner that I would have done,window tint,tire protection, and a stain and paint protection for a total add in of 800 bucks. Was a couple others I said no way. One was 600 bucks for a key fob replacement "with my luck this will be the first time I ever lost or killed a fob lol" the 800 was included in the 54k.

I would have fought harder but after a total of 5-6 dealers over the last month I had had enough and the fight was just no longer worth it. I also think I was fairly close to the please leave but they did the deal so there was obviously still cash on the table lol.

Just found this thread. Now I need to go get some pictures of the Lil' Red Express. She's a work in progress that I haven't paid attention to in several years but now want to get back out there and finish her up.

Once they perfect "Ultra-Capacitors", the days of the internal combustion engine will be numbered.
Charge time for refueling will be about the same or less than filling a gas tank now.

Meh I have owned just about every main stream brand car. I get the one that fits my needs and looks like I want it to.

Over saying one brand is better than another because its what I own.

New (to me) ride ... 2010 KTM 990 SMT

She's a goer ...

 

[Coiled]

I swear TG you change bikes more often than I change my drawers. Does that replace the scooter in post #60?

I just read most of this, seems like a pretty nice ride. I realize it's an open ended question but how reliable are KTMs?

 

[mitchntx]

I have 30K trouble free miles on this 2016 1290 SA.

KTM has a bad rep and I don't understand why. This bike has been WAY more reliable than a previous 06 BMW 1200RT and 05 1200GS. both were plagued with rear diff, ABS and dry clutch issues.

 

[Brains]

BMW and reliable go together like liberal and intelligent.

 

[TxBigfoot]

Got a new to me 2020 Ram Hemi work truck with 14k miles on it. This makes my 3rd Ram, 2nd Hemi. F**k I didn't want a truck payment, haven't had one in almost 10 years. Hopefully I can pay this off in a couple years.
