Default Re: NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY AN SUV.......

To be fair, there are a few people for whom the low desireability of large vehicles is a small windfall. Take my parents as an example. They live at the top of a long, steep driveway in New England. That means plowing, for which they have a truck. It's a 1991 GMC Sierra with...get this...9,000 miles on it. No, I did not forget to add a zero. It goes up and down the driveway with the plow, it goes to the dump, it goes to home depot, it goes up and down the driveway some more...and fifteen years later the thing is turning to dust. All they have to do is wait until gas prices take another major swing in the right direction for the rebates on that new Tundra to get enormous.
