Should i sell my brand new 389

You should ...lot of guys purchase 389 or w900 for pride ...not for flip

 

Do u need the truck? Sell it while its hot. Take the profit while u can get it. Can always buy another new truck.

 

I guess the biggest question is do you actually need the new truck, you can make money flipping it, but once it’s sold it’s gone

 

Well just think. You may never have the option to flip a brand new truck like this ever again and make money doing basically nothing.

 

I just saw a 2022 T-680 sell at auction for a touch over $300k

Don’t leave any money on the table if you’re serious about selling it.

I got another identical 389 being built in January..probably have to wait a couple months more for them to complete it though.

Be careful because Peterbilt is cutting their production way back next year. It will be very difficult getting another one if you sell.

 

Honestly if you already have a working 2016 that fits your needs i would flip the new truck take the 30-60K profit you make and just invest in a complete inframe and full emissions service upto and including new DPF. Hell you could even do a full like for like engine swap for 50k including wireing harnesses and pull any hard to get but working parts like sensors off as spares from the old engine and have what is esentially a brand new truck for a small fraction of what the new rig goes for.

 

Be prepared for 5mpg in the 389 if you haven’t owned one yet. It’s a whole bunch more money for fuel than the 579. I did the math because I had a 579 on order and for the miles I run it came out to $2,700 more just for the fuel.
