    Looking for recommendations on lenders who will finance a private sale. Tractor and Trailer are going for 55k total. All help is greatly appreciated.

    Talk to you friendly bankers. Hitting the lottery probably won't work. Any wealthy relatives?

    There are quite a few that will finance a private sale, but like Ridgline said, is it worth it.

    To address that question, the sale was proposed by my brother-in-law who isn’t happy with the larger payout he thought he would get. The truck is currently moving water from Niagra to Costco’s and Sams. Averaging 2-4 loads per day and right at 3k per week. So yes I suppose it’s worth it.

    There’s a reason he wants out. It’s because he’s not making any money. The bank doesn’t care too much about the cheap freight the truck’s hauling, they care about what the truck is worth so when they repo it, they don’t lose money. What are the specs on the truck and trailer

    3k a week isn't worth it

    4 maybe.
