I probably should have shopped aggressively around the country for units like I did the trailers. I just wanted to get a relationship going with my local TK branch. Never had bought units directly before.

[QUOTE=" I now think it's a bad idea to burn into your cash reserves paying in full for equipment when financing is so cheap and easy to get.[/QUOTE]
Excellent point regarding the cost of money today.
I drive by this place.... Truck Mart in PA.... all the time.... Their schtick is arranging crazy high financing to put under capitalized drivers into ex company trucks that are right at the point of costing major money... as bad as lease purchase deals are, a deal from Truck Mart is probably even worse.... If Truck Mart financing is needed, one would be better off taking a year or two to save up some money so you get the kind of financing a successful person like Rollin' Coal can access.Dino soar, Rideandrepair, JoeyJunk and 1 other person Thank this. -
This thread got Me looking online last night for Trailers. Very few even advertised. Their just not out there. Best thing I could find were some 07-08’s for 17k-22k. That’s the best. Just goes to show, you never know what’s going to happen in this Business. Things change very fast.

Lol, I'm not killing it by most people's standards but I do just fine by my own needs. Even if a person has marginal credit they are way better off seeking financing thru a traditional bank rather than paying used truck lot sharks 10%, 20% or even more in interest.Rideandrepair and Crassius Thank this.
