I'm hoping someone can help me crunch these numbers.
Here recently I've been on a two year trade cycle - due to the amount of work miles I put on every year. So far, I've had really good equity versus the loan value at the 1.5-2 year mark (5 year loans - zero down/good interest rate).
Looking at purchase price and historical resales of Rams vs F150 and the Ram is considerably lower. This could put me in a bad spot two years down the road.
That being said - Ford puts big rebate $$$ on the hood of their trucks - as does Ram. That'll affect resale.
Looking at my current vehicle, I"m at a 75% value of what I paid two years ago to right now. That's a tick better than what I came up with looking at black book and nada guide values. Stepping up to the Lariat trim (Laramie @ Ram) - the resale gets a few percentage points better to about a 76%. XLT is a 73%.
Ram, however is a 66%. Big difference. That is factoring the $1,000 rebate FCA just put on them. If I bump it up to a $4,000 rebate (possibly in December?) it pushes it to a 70%...5% difference is huge!
What have you noticed in regards to resale on Rams in the US?
