Why are people buying overpriced semi trucks?

Go to a dealer and try and buy a new truck today for $160k and you’ll understand why used truck prices are high. If you order one today for 2023 delivery it will probably be around $180k but you won’t be seeing it for a while.

 

$210k with heavy specs for me!

 

You’re a minority when it comes to buying new trucks though. Mine was $168 in December and if I ordered the exact same truck again they said it would be around $180.

You would only get a slap on the wrist for bank robbery now if you told them you needed the money because you had covid and lost your job

 

About $260K for a Cascadia IF you could get one.

I actually put a deposit on a newer truck today.

Without question the most reasonable price I've seen since Joe Bananas and his followers starting passing around the fruit punch kool-aid.

Now we'll have to see what the interest might be.

If the interest is bananas, it will be a moot point.

ie- Keep walkin.

 

New truck prices have been reasonable. I bought one, with good interest rate. My truck was about 15k more than a new one 3 years ago. Compare that to everything else that has gone up it’s not a deal breaker. It’s the folks buying new and turning around and reselling their equipment that was crazy.

 

my 2023 will be about $35K more than my 2019 was, if they don’t increase the prices again.

 

Yep, my 2023 389 was 37k over an identical 2021 that was stolen. Unfortunately I really didn’t have a choice.
