Is buying a brand new truck like buying a new car in a sense of haggling down the price? There's a new 2021 389 I'm looking at and the price they gave me over the internet is 165k. How much is everybody haggling down to? This will be my first truck purchase

Dang you put a good amount down! I only got 20k-25k I can put down. How much haggling do you think for 165k asking price I can bump down? What motor did you get in it and did you buy any additional warranty?
-
You got 25k to put down but lone mountain will only require like 5k down, and you have to show an additional 5k in the bank which you have so that would be my advice for a 1st time buyer.Jarhed1964, KullenTrucking, onetime42 and 2 others Thank this. -

If any used truck sales outfit will not let you take truck to a dimo. test and a full insp. do not buy a used truck from them, a lot of the stuff thats put on trucks now will show up bad on a hard run on dino. just like it will after you buy a uses truck on 1st big pull up a mt. loaded heavy on a truck you buy with out doing the ck. you need to, and you will be paying tow bills and shop bills to fix what should have been found with proper ck. before you buy a used truck?

The one I actually went to look at... the door didn’t fit up right and the striker almost fell off, looked like a “Repo” truck, quarter window had broken and redone without latch.
Guy pointed to a 17 Pete, Checked it all out, around 100 degrees outside, then started and went on a drive, 1 mile later took it back, AC didn’t work.
3rd was an no when I seen supersingle recaps.
Then I went to a Freightliner dealer, at least They’ll take the caps, replace with tires, and give credit for the caps(knowing They’ll use them again.)
All I had to put down was $2500 on a 16 model, could’ve put more or bought it, but I want to hang on to cash since we don’t know what’s going to happen with the sickness.OldeSkool, Doealex and Eggroll'n Trucker Thank this. -
