    Your question about prices going up or down has to be directed to a future teller)

    Preachers can not be poor, cuz they are obligated to give.. give to dealer to buy a nice ride, give to real estate to get a nice place to live in, etc.)

    So are banks really financing at these inflated prices? Especially the used ones? I can't see someone sticking with a used rig they paid 130K for that now has expensive issues starting to pop up and they aren't able to keep up with the maintenance because of the high monthly payment. Repos galore.

    From my experience most all of the foreign buyers laugh and delete them immediately. While muttering something like stupid American rules. Then they throw a team in and roll in big money.

    Not sure how banks look at it but I would guess they look at current market rather than yesteryears market

    If your making over 12K a week the price isn’t out of question. Inflation is happening. Rates move with inflation. 240 k is not what it was worth a year ago. We may have to get used to making 12K or more a week. If your not making that or more you may have to see what you are doing wrong. So… we shall see.

    I'm not even at half of 12k a week. And I think this bomb of a cascadia has started ticking. Valued at twice what I paid. If I didn't love what I do. I would be out by now
