Why can't I get this stupid money tree to grow?

Not only is it NP it’s the best looking Ford truck (I may be biased)

I once owned an F-350 of that era and chassis configuration (with a shell, too) , but with the 7.3 IDI. Besides being long, the steering set up on those era of 4x4 HD trucks limited the amount of steering angle available . The turning radius of that truck was best described as, well, we’re just parking at the end of the lot by default. My later crew cab/ long bed 2002 GMC 3500 dually was vastly easier to park.

just because i find this interesting:

$28,270 in 1997 is roughly equivalent to $45.5 k based on inflation.

If I’m getting rust, I’m going all out.   https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/779674470/overview?aff=share_other

Not from the midwest or northeast? That’s very minimal rust for this age vehicle around here

Trucks have been beating inflation for awhile.

It’s about right on track...I optioned it as close as I could tell.

Oh man I just noticed the rust around the windshield...that drops it out of the NP category for me.

My 2000 Tundra AC was $30k in 2000. That is $44k in today’s money and it buys a much nicer truck with way, way more goodies as well, and that intoxicating power of the 5.7L . My salary also increased by more or less 300% since those days.

The kicker is, I still loath spending more than $30k on a car. It is like a mental barrier of what a car should cost.

Maybe it’s just more luxury trim levels and dealers not stocking base level trims anymore.
