Dealerships getting way to full of themselves?

Anything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I guess if I was him and dealerships are not willing to work with him I would try a private party.

 

try paccar used truck centers. the 2 times i've been to the local deal.er we're the best prices i've run into.

he'll still pay 60G. but the miles are around 400k. and the trucks are 4 and 5 years old.

carb regulations has deflated truckers older then 07. and inflated trucks newer then 07.

last year was a much better year for prices then this year. paccar was selling 08's for 45G with 450k miles.

 

If you ar looking in NJ like you info says you live, then I thought being rude and ####y was a requirement to work and live there. lol

 

I've had dealers see the name on my truck, find me on the net and call me wanting me to trade my 2000 379 in, because there's a demand for them and not for the newer emissions trucks, unless you run to Commifornia....

 

carb regs have inflated prices of 07 and older,deflated 07 because of too much carb ####

 

Just seen buddy sell two of his trucks,one a 90 other 91 model both Pete's,one driptoit other b model. He got same price for both,if my truck wasn't in such good shape would have snatched up b model.

 

Geeze....but typical for the area. Yooze guys, wise guys, chawwcket stuff too.

Tell your bud to leave the are on the web and truck paper. Out of compliance iron is cheap in Cal. and pricing is better in the south and mid west. Ok has some real hot dealers. Couple of buddies have done well there. ( 07 379 / C15 / 10 / 800k) 32k or same in day cab but with 493k went 55k. Be glad to make a call and get you some phone numbers.

I know of a 07 379 / 10 needing a motor reman. (C15) showing 900k. A pretty gal, big walkin..anyway I like it at 15k. Dunno if the owner will bite that low but he might. I'm out at 15k but your bud may want to go a little deeper...... just sayin...

Your bud can let the Jersey boys choke on the arrogance and ignorance. He's paying cash (right? ) He'll have no problem.

Good luck

 

Tell him to wait till Jan/Feb (3 months) when trucks are being cited and shut down in California, reality will set in for thousands of truck owners. If he really doesn't ever plan on running CA, there will be a massive amount of trucks available in a few months. Those of us who run CA are still seeing more than half of the trucks on the road are non compliant. Dozens of impound yards are being set up all over the state, CARB has a new office being built at Banning...

We are in that funky limbo right now, deniers are hoping 1). They will never have to go back to CA after CARB is in effect. 2). There will be a "moratorium" on the mandates. 3) they wont enforce it....

When the reality of one or more of those hits, there will be plenty of old trucks available (cheap).

 

Hey GT,
I'm also in the market...and I have a little vulture in me too. IYHO what exactly ( years etc ) will not be compliant.... pre 08's?

I could certainly wait a few months for a fire sale.......
