I've reached rock bottom... (long)

Cat,type in Truckpaper Kenworth T660...........they are not giving them away.
They are mostly a little above what Lucar is looking for.

 

sounds like the finance company is letting him just get another truck, I don't think they are gonna give him cash to boot, the original truck has to be paid off, if the dealer taking trade gives the payoff amount for trade and he gets this other truck for what will be owed on it, hes a lucky man.

this deal wont work with buying a Schneider truck, this deal is only going to work doing a trade in, he is basically swapping one truck for another

 

Learned a lot from this thread, I am a new o/o and was wondering what is the best truck (specs if possible) to have that will do well on fuel and have decent prices on repairs etc? Have a 07 Volvo 780 ISX 10 speed now with almost 800k on it...also what are the pros and cons with this year 780? Thanks

 

There are plenty of other threads that discuss this, this one is not one of them, you should search some other threads or start your own.

 

Ok.............

 

While looking at Truckpaper i found this:
http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=4902109
Looks like the dealer Lucar will make a deal with might be smiling.
Similiar unit to Lucar's,selling it 12 000$ more then he is offering Lucar.

Might be you are right.
But it is a assumption.
Has he asked the financecompagny?
They might be willing to make a deal as the listprice on that Schneider unit is higher.

I will shut up now...............hope Lucar keeps us updated.

And again,i wish from the bottom off my heart Lucar makes it.(but i doubt it)

 

I am very interested to see how this plays out. I was in a similar, but much less extreme circumstance than Lucar and have managed to turn things around by cutting my losses and making some tough decisions. Looks like Lucar is on a path to turn his situation around too. It isn't easy. In fact, it's real hard work every step of the way. The fact that he's persistent with this is testament to his likely success when it's behind him.

I agree the financing element to this deal adds a lot of risk. On the other hand, Lucar already has an established business. So not quite the same as a new guy with a stack of money saved up, yet still driving off the lot with a huge truck payment.

 

Ahh, see, you are reading to much into things. The dealer can ask $1 million for it if they choose to, but that doesn't mean that they are going to sell it for that.
