Upgrading lease truck

i found out why the price is different. the recruiter said it was a 2012 when its actually a 2013. I was supposed to start on Tuesday but guess what. the ez pass and permit book is missing. so now ill be starting tomorrow. thanks for all the information

 

$65k buyout? sure seems expensive, 74 weeks left of a 4 year lease? almost $46k on the remaining plus the 65k = $110k paid

4 yr lease would be 128752 plus 65k
thats almost $200k for the truck

 

according to the paperwork the truck brand new was $140,000. the depreciated value of the truck right now is $101,000. it only has 301,346 miles on it. but don't think that I didn't say the same thing wolf

 

and another 74 weeks the $101k will be much lower, im guessing probably near that 65k mark but they dont take into consideration what you already paid in.

Its sad the way it works, I know as long as you are smart you still make much more than a company driver and its the way im looking at it too if I decide to do it myself soon. I cant afford a down on a truck and my credit isnt great right now.

 

I called a couple of places and most of them wanted 15 to 20 thousand down. im not rich like that. and I wanted to go thru lone mountain but they were bs'ing. so this was the only way for me. im just gonna do the 73 weeks and see how that turns out. I don't have no truck payments for 23 days so im about to run my arse off for the next 3 weeks

 

Those first three weeks are awesome paychecks. I recommend putting the extra money from the lack of lease payment into your maintenance account though, but you can do what you want with it.

The KW's have a high buyout because they retain their value and are a more expensive truck to begin with. The cascadia's buy out is $48k.

 

I wish the 2013 Cascadias buyout was $48k. the paper I saw said $65k

 

the cascadia is what I might be wanting, havent driven a kw to know if I would like it or not but I have driven the rest and freights are my favorite

 

ive driven them all except for the pete. even had an automatic Volvo that I really liked.

 

never driven an auto
