    Cool
    So if I fix everything I can raise the price up to 50k? You think?

    I don't even think you have a truck to sell,

    But, if so, you have a undesirable truck, and there's plenty more out there cheaper.

    You need to get rid of it this month

    Tons of hours

    Needed repairs could cost 10k$ or more

    That dahm broken fridge door.


    Fix all that stuff, and you'd have a 30k$ junker...... Maybe

    All of you with the idea this is worth $45k, you buy it because it isn't worth it.

    With the average sold price of a Cascadia 126 2020 being just below $40k, this one is far from being worth that much.

    So let's break it down.

    Did you keep good records? This matters more than just the mileage. And can the records be traced?
    A hell of a lot of hours. 19k should put the odometer about one third more than it has, so that's a lot of idling.
    When I look at trucks, I ask what is wrong and if they know how much it will cost to fix, if they don't know, I subtract the replacement cost of the unit, I am not messing around, so that is at least $5k off the asking price if they are using the average sold price of the truck.
    Same issue, replace the fridge, not the door, so that's another $500 off the asking prices.
    I take worst-case scenario for this one, $4k to replace the external parts and another $1500 for the evaporator - $5500.
    This is a problem, if the dealer could not fix it, then it will cost at least another $3-5k.
    It is more likely a wiring issue but still, it could be a lot worse than it appears to be, so $10k.
    Is the warranty transferable?
    Why was it installed?
    Is it a new one or a rebuilt one?

    first people get all hung up on the asking prices, it is like eBay, all this does is make people think they have a chance to get top dollar for something they think is worth more but they have just junk.

    A truck is a tool, people need to treat it like it is a CNC machine, or a forklift or what ever, stop being emotional about it.

    If there is a defect in the tool, and the buyer has to take the time and put money into it, the tool is worth a lot less on the market. We have thousands of trucks chasing owners, and many of them are overpriced junk, pure crap.
    At auction, it may do better than expected but who knows. I saw a couple with super high traffic but low prices, one I remember seeing in January ended up at $18k even with 140 bids.
    Well starting with the average price for a complete and working truck with the same mileage, not the hours - $40k.
    You have about $26k in repairs, so $14k is what I would offer you, so if someone is serious at $30k, take it.

    Look on Truckpaper. Sort out the 2020’s. Theres a ton on there for mid-30’s. Some mid-40’s. A few are higher into the 50’s.

    I did …

    which is why I’m asking you

    you’re saying a “ton “ are listed for 30k and insinuating that only a few only listed 40k and higher when that’s literally not true

    the majority are listed around 45-50k with a few around 60k and a few in the 30s


    wtf is the point of you lying and saying that the majority are listed for 30k weird ###

    Stop wasting time on here and go sell the truck. It’s only worth what someone will pay you for it.

    You can filter by price to get a sense of what’s priced where. It’s easy to do. The truck you’re supposedly wanting to sell has an insane amount of hours on the engine as well as other issues you’ve admitted to and you’re wanting to compare it to trucks that have way less miles and hours and are probably in better overall condition. And just because a truck is listed on TP for a certain price doesn’t mean that’s what it will sell for. Dealers are sitting on a ton of inventory right now. If you want a true sense of the market you can look at auction results.
