A friend of mine just bought a new F-150, I was blown away at what a relatively spartan model costs. So I found myself on Ford’s website trying to find out how much one could spend on a new F-150. At the Platinum trim, the base price is $60k!
It does not appear that Ford is offering a raptor for the 2016 model year, and that led me to wonder how much it would cost to get into a slightly used one. The answer is (at least in my area)is...55 thousand dollars!
Maybe this comes as such a shock to me because the Raptor is in a segment of automobile that I have little interest in. Dayum trucks, why you so spensive?
The only vehicles that exist in my brain between $60-100k come from Stuttgart.

Trucks in general are insanely expensive.

I’m asking the same question about the Fiat 124. I noticed that when I was making my joke pic for the fp. That darn thing costs $25k minimum!
Then again, I drive a smart, so I shouldn’t be surprised about absurd pricing lol
My X-type is too a real Jaguar

my brother in law bought a 2014 FX4 crew cab, and that was about 60000 canadian.
My ex boss bought a brand new 2011 or 2012 F350 king ranch for something like 85000 cnd.

I’m just now finding this out...crazy. Fun as far as vehicles are concerned, for me looks a lot smaller/ligher/tighter and lower to the ground for 60k.
My best friend is a stone mason and a bro. He has a gigantic F350 complete w/ chip and exhaust that I could fit my head into, and it is awesome. Just not my cup of tea, it is terrifying to go around a turn any faster than slow...turns are my favorite

I would have guessed that you wouldn’t walk with one for less than 25, is the miata the same price?

You get a lot for your money, though. For that Platnium f150, imagine a loaded 5 series that can also haul a (small) motor home through ten inches of mud with five people inside, while three dogs and two jet skis ride in the bed.

Less than $100 cheaper. Huh...maybe I’m still living in 2008 before post-recession inflation. lol

I think the Fiat is more powerful, plus you can get the Abarth exhaust note...so I guess between the two I’d choose the Fiat.

Yea I agree that you get a lot for your money. My best friend has an F350 KR and it is a really nice truck. I wouldn’t go a far to say 5 series nice inside, but fords best rendition of that.
