Yeah, the currency exchange is an absolute killer here, whether on parts, or new vehicle purchases, it's just insane. It ain't hard to drop $100k on a new 1/2 ton truck, don't matter what brand. I honestly don't know how people who are just starting out can manage, but I still see big houses with a newer pickup and an sun in the driveway, plus a camper or a big boat. **** I think I make a decent living, but I have only a modest mortgage paent and I still can't afford to spend much. My daily driver is a 1997 that I picked up last summer for $500.00 as a fixer upper, and my wife's car is a 2002.
