How does $121700 turn into $126000 ?

I have seen a few Pete/KW trucks in the mid $120's for left over 2012's on truck paper stateside. Not sure what sort of freight you are moving & not even sure this is fact, but remember reading that the 86" studio sleepers were heavy. If weight is a issue...
So finding a ISX powered 72" middle of the road T660/386 may not be too tough to pull off.

 

ELROY if you get to Toronto , checkout TORONTO KENWORTH they have a pile of 2013 T660's 72" Areocabs ISX 450 , 236" wheelbase 22.5 rubber on their lot and are offering them with SPECIAL PRICING only thing is they are WHITE.

 

Not trying to be a jerk, but you're only going to get a Freightliner w/ a Detroit for $110K. If you like Freightliners with Detroits, that's a good thing. But if you want a Peterbilt with a CAT, you'll need about $50K more for a "hard spec'd" chassis if you're starting out without an engine/trans core. In my case, late this year I'll be special ordering a loaded 389 with an ISX for about $15K less than an identically spec'd glider with a 6NZ. I'm not concerned with emissions engines, as my '09 ISX has been very reliable, so I'm not as gun shy as others are.

 

Another couple realistic reasons why your prices were different. One is that the truck on the ground may have been ordered when business was good and the factories were able to have a back log. At that point, pricing would have been normal. When they see a slow down, they will give dealer incentives on multiple truck order purchases for stock. Another reason is how often the pricing on the trucks change. I see $1,000 or $2,000 changes within a few months pretty frequently. You would be surprised at the variability of tire pricing. It can be massive. A dealer may also be prepared to give a stock truck away at cost or very close to it, where they're not going to order a truck for you at cost, we are in this to make money and stay in business to service you
