Expected price now "Mid-Twenties" for Slate truck

In your opinion.

* AI generated answer * kind of disqualifies the entire thing. The early 4.0s are super sought after, in 2001 they swapped over the the overhead cam ones and they went to shit. Same applies to the explorer.

AI is useless for most things, but it is particularly useless for cars and mechanical things. Please don't be one of those people who uses AI for opinions and answers, its already an epidemic

AI surfs the web and finds out what people actually say there.

AI surfs the web and finds out what people actually say there.

AI is notoriously inaccurate in almost all regards and has told people to do everything from shoving pennies into sockets to using glue to thicken pizza sauce. It is often horrendous at providing context or using reason

It is not and should never be used as a valid source for anything but the most basic, simple of tasks

AI is notoriously inaccurate

Because what people say on the net is inaccurate.

In this instance it's based on observed opinions, with references.

Now let's leave this thread to discussion of the OT.

And these observed opinions are still inaccurate lol, also the AI was unable to differentiate between the versions of the 4.0.

Again, I get you're a tech guy and you love this type of stuff, but don't be an AI person. There are entire youtube series dedicated to making fun of people who listen to AI. Don't be part of that.

Only the SOHC version was offered.

Like any other tool, AI can be misused or used properly.

Pushrod until '01. Pushrod 4.0 and its base architecture existed for far longer than the SOHC did

The discussion is about "A used Ford Ranger from the 2000s could operate for the next 10-15 years".

Eidt: The 2001 was equipped with a 4.0L SOHC V6 engine, not the pushrod version.

The discussion is about "A used Ford Ranger from the 2000s could operate for the next 10-15 years".

Discussion was about the 90s and 2000s trucks the Slate is designed to emulate.

I get that you have no intention of having an actual discussion and just want to defend the Slate at all costs, but I assumed that there wasnt pedantic behavior here and that a generalization could be made seeing the topic at hand.

That said, 2000 is 2000, so. If you want to go down that road

Fair enough. There's where our opinions diverge. I'm saying value is objectively the amount paid by the buyer, not what someone else thinks the buyer should have paid.

I'd argue that it's a small mix of both opinions, sort of an "en masse". I.E. the Slate at 20k vs at 30k. Buyers exist at both price points, a lot more at the former I'd assume.

More a market-level use of the word than a individual buyer.

I quoted exactly what you wrote.

Let it go.

You're exactly right because the value at the time of the transaction is ephemeral. It's only a current market value for that exact item at that exact time.

When you plot quantity demanded at various prices you get a demand curve. The slope of that curve represents price elasticity of demand (price sensitivity).

How does this relate to this thread, you ask?

Slate needs to guesstimate what the demand curve and price accordingly.

Penetration pricing means "erring on the low side" for the jump-start effect of selling units rapidly while things are getting going.

Eventually guesstimating the demand curve will be easier based on how things go.
