[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 630808, member: 2152"] Covid had a massive effect, in that supply of essential parts to build new, and new vehicle availability dropping due to shipping pushed the 2nd hand market to levels comparitive to new. On top of that preCovid dealer pricing for 20/21 models were only honoured to a certain number of vehicles once the production issues were identified. This Years Dmax (MY22) prices were significant rises over previous, more than 15%. I took possession of mine in Oct 20, and it was worth more than I purchased it for by April/May 21, and the old boys (19) was around 8k dearer than purchase price at the cheap end of the market for kms at the same time. I would never have purchased new but everything at that time on the used market was around or above new, with kms and less warranty. Started with a budget of 20k (hahaha), in a market that needed 30 to 35k. Not that much has changed in the ute/diesel market best I can tell since then. Buyers are still waiting months for delivery. Omicron hasnt helped that any. If theres a cheap one, well half your luck. [/QUOTE]
