    Post it on truckpaper. It will be gone quick if priced right. There are plenty of banks that will finance that truck.

    Thats the problem some folks want to finance and most places won't lend on a older trk. But that trk will sell for sure. Unless on inspection in person and something is wrong. Just wondering? what is mpg on it?

    Maintenance will offset the fuel gain in a newer truck. Pre-eld E motor treasure that like gold

    If you have a paid for truck like that and fuel cost is cutting into your profits, you're not making enough revenue.

    Dealers will lie through their teeth about anything they can on a trade in to cut the price they give you down. In this case, "banks wont finance on a truck that old" anyone who has to finance that truck doesn't need to own a truck like that. In reality they were drooling over trying to get that truck cheap and sell it for top dollar.

    That Truck has everything. If I needed a Truck, I’d buy it. List it, it should sell itself. Agree,40 k fair market price.

    All last year I looked for a w900 pre eld- pre emissions truck. I finally found a glider a few months ago. Prices from private sellers and dealers were outrageous but every time I called about one they were gone!!! That truck should have no problem being sold and 40k is more than fair

    100 k? For the w900?, He might get 60 k, never know. From what I see, maybe $46 k tops. But you never know. It looks to be in great shape. Claims Mint condition. Mint gets thrown around a lot. Maybe it really is.

    In my neighborhood. 100+ is the going asking price. And they ALL have rebuilds. No matter how old the truck is. Or what brand and model it is.

    I'm just saying what's advertised in the local ads. And that's all I'm saying. I know nothing about the trucks.

    My own company truck would go bye bye if someone were to show up with 80. And I'm just going to leave it at that.
