I love Kelley Blue Book. I've used it often over the years. Not so much, Carmax.
A friend of mine told me recently that he has a friend who bought a 2018 Ford pickup (I don't remember the model), and he spent $15,000 modifying the engine. I thought, that's ridiculous. You spend $20K to $25K on a brand new vehicle then modify the engine? Nutjob.
There are several pickups now that cost well into the $60,000 range and higher so depended on what he did he might not be that crazy and saved himself a bunch. Chances are though, he's just a nutjob like you said.
I'll will have to look; I thought I said CarFax not Carmax so now you got me wondering. Carmax is a car dealer and CarFax is just a vehicle history service.
Yes, I did say Carfax so I am good with what I wrote, so many companies with damn similar names can drive you nuts.
Thanks dropping by and sharing that with us, great to see you here.
Yeah, I guess you make a good point. If you bought something for $25K and spent $15K instead of the full $60K, it could have been a savings. My understanding is, he took out the old engine and put in a new one. And I wonder, why not just buy an old shell and build your own the way you want it?
Yeah, CarFax. I was thinking Carmax. My bad. I haven't tried either one. lol
I agree with you on taking an old one and building it the way you want it, I love the old classics.
