Low dealer inventory, trucks

In reply to John Welsh :

Exactly. I won't be trading it in.   I'd be more likely to put a brand new engine in it if it was ever needed.

I just thought it was amazing they would offer that. 

My local ford dealer has a lot full. Many 30 trucks or more.

$18,500 will get you the same truck in metro Ft Lauderdale, FL with just 128k miles which looks like a bargain compared to the $25.8k in Memphis

I'd also suggest that the stimulus check has almost no bearing on this- if you are getting a stimulus, it's not likely that you can afford a brand new truck where there are no discounts.  

Huh? You know that households with up to $150k income got those checks, right?

Actually the first couple rounds were up to $200k and on the last printing it didn't phase out until $160k. 

If you're married I thought it was $150k for round 3, no kids.

I'll just say that I never received the full amount for the first two, and didn't receive any for the last one. Not married.

But I didn't really need them, nor did I need them to suspend my student loan payment.

Round 3 was 

• Single filers: $80,000
• Married filing jointly: $160,000

get nothing.

you got full at 75k and 150k
