Yeah but tt is all gas price and market perception. It's summer and the sheep believe the gas prices will soar. So any big vechicle market value will drop hard. But also the small suv's and cars will good mpg. Their market value goes up. It's a tietter totter effect.

This is what I'm hoping for. Need to find a great deal on a F150/F250.

LOL @ $31K for the Jeep Commander. Doesn't that thing use 30 year old tech?

If they use the tech they brought to the arena, its pretty bulletproof. The switch to V-6 engines by Jeep sucks, I have a 3.7 v6 and my Wrangler had a 4.0 H.O. I-6, and the I-6 was bombproof. The suspension tech at jeep is pretty good and proven. Just because its old tech, doesn'y mean its bad. I am still looking for a Jeepster, FC, Scrambler or older CJ to make a toy.
