I been asked that. I tell them the truth I took my superduty in for service they had two mannequins I got to drive one as a loaner overnight. My wife say drop a deposit on it if it’s not spoken for. Done deal. Dealer did not as any mark up other than the accessories ford made them add.
Why wait to lose $15K in depreciation over 2 years when you can lose $15K in the stock market in an hour?!
Why do some big spenders assume critique, is just other people wishing they could afford to be like them? Talk about being full of yourselves.This is kind of an unfair way to judge people. I paid 20k over MSRP because I can. I wanted one right now, and I have the money to get what I want. The kind of people that are spending 70k on an outer banks, or 90k on a WT aren't doing it while working minimum wage jobs. You have to think about it in the mind of someone that spends 20k on things like a nice weekend. Frankly, anyone that tells me I'm an idiot or judges me, or anyone I know based on how we spend money is just them projecting on how bad they feel they can't afford to just throw away 20k on a literal toy.
Wouldn't that be the same as calling those people dumb for doing it? Perhaps the ones that say that are actually just as dumb because they can't get a job to afford it?

based on a financial decision judgement only, Spending $20k ADM just because you CAN, doesn’t make it smart financially. Spending $20k ADM when you really CAN’T just makes it a worse decision. So yes, mathematically paying an ADM is dumb. Emotionally, if it makes you feel better, life is short, you got money, can’t take it with you, understood.This is kind of an unfair way to judge people.

Everything you're saying is all subjective. My point is there are numerous people on these here forums, and on the Facebook groups that seem to think people who paid more than MSRP by large sums of money are ignorant, or dumb. I'm merely pointing out that perhaps it's those people that are projecting ignorance since they don't have the capability to earn as much as the people throwing down an extra 20k just because they can.
I think that this is probably the best way to put it. Even more so for homes. My wife and I paid 1.9MM for our home that was literally sold 3 years ago for 1.2. They were asking 1.4MM, but just like everything else in the world right now, if you want something, it's going to cost you. We could have probably kept searching for another few months and spent a little less, but we liked it. It's the same for cars. Almost identically in fact, the amounts are just a bit lower.

According to the independent Insurance industry evaluation service that evaluated my totalled Bronco, yes. The insurance evaluation service said Bronco's are retailing for $20k over sticker and that's what they gave me without me arguing anything.
