Geocache Description:


After having completed a local Adventure Lab, five cachers – DieselsDad, Eggs4Lunch, FlightAttendant_71, Perogy23, and the TwoAmigos – were inspired to buy a "new to them" cachemobile.

They all attended the local vehicle auction to bid on some vehicles that were being sold – Toyota Rav4, Jeep Cherokee, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram, Nissan Pathfinder.

While one cacher got a great deal, no one paid the same price which increases by $1,000 from $35,000 to $39,000.

From the clues provided below, determine who bought which vehicle, how much they paid and the year (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022) of the cachemobile.

 

Use the last digit of the year for each of the cachemobiles to solve for the final coordinates.

North 52 10.ABC West 106 39.XYZ

A = (Chevy + Nissan) – Dodge

B = Jeep + Toyota + Nissan

C = (Dodge + Jeep) – Nissan

X = Jeep – Nissan

Y = Chevy + Toyota

Z = (Chevy + Nissan) – (Dodge – Jeep)

 

Clues:

  1. The Rav4 purchased by DieselsDad is neither the 2019 nor 2021, and is older than at least one other cachemobile.

  2. FlightAttendant_71 cachemobile is newer than the Silverado, they spent less than what the Nissan cost, but more than the Toyota’s price.

  3. The Dodge was not bought by TwoAmigos, or FlightAttendant_71.

  4. The 2021 vehicle did not cost $37,000.

  5. The Jeep cost less than at least 3 other cachemobiles, and is a newer model than at least three others.

  6. “Bam Bam” the Ram cost less than $39,000, and more than $36,000. It is also the oldest model.

  7. Perogy_23 bought a truck, as did Eggs4Lunch, because there’s a lot of caching to be done on and off road!

  8. Beep! Beep! FlightAttendant_71 bought a Jeep!  And it just so happens to be the newest.

  9. Eggs4Lunch got an awesome deal paying only $37,000 but it wasn’t for the 2018 or 2022 model. It even has running boards to make it easier to get in and out!

  10. Perogy_23’s “never get stuck” truck is an older model than the SUV bought by the TwoAmigos, which is newer than 2020.

 

 

 

Of course the cache name is a song title laugh  It's from one of my all time favourite albums, A Night at the Opera.

*Cacher names are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual cachers is entirely coincidental.
