So this all leads us to the question:

If you were offered 33% more for your new Ram than you paid for it, would you sell it, knowing that you might have to wait over a year to buy another one as well-equipped as the one you have now?

We might soon find ourselves living in that world. Just something to think about.

It's not all bad.

Sold my Big Horn and bought a Laramie and with the upside on the Big Horn the Laramie is going to cost me less to own than the Big Horn.

Stock is limited though. You might get lucky or you might not.

If I could trade in my Bighorn and can get a Limited plus come out ahead financially, I’d do it lol. This time I’d get a crew cab instead of the quad.

Yes, just did that with one i ordered in april. But did not clear 33%, not even close. So now waiting on a 2022

Hell yes I'd sell my 3 month old Limited for 33% more than what I paid for it. It's just a truck. I have other vehicles I can drive if needed. Just not as nice as the Limited.

I would if the math worked that way, but the problem is the market probably wont let it happen to that extreme. I see your point though

I’d sell my 2021 Laramie with only 4500 miles in excellent condition to anyone for 33% over what I have in it. It stickers at $65,000, I have about $55,000 in it! So 33% of 55,000 is like $18,000. I’d sell it to anyone right now for $72,000 write the check and it’s all yours
