    Thanks driver. People saying too expensive but they haven’t seen the videos that I have of the truck. It’s just gorgeous in and out. Yea there’s some raggedy trucks, I don’t pick on anyone cause they are probably struggling. I just worry about myself. Tbh tho some are nasty lol

    A new heavy haul spec W900 with the 600 x-15 and a 18 speed trans and a 80”
    Sleeper is just over $220k

    the folks saying you’re price is too high evidently haven’t bought a w900 lately .

    Heck yea they’re expensive! To me, 113k is good considering it’s a 565 x15 w900L. I even talked to a salesperson from Kenworth and asked him about it. He said that’s a good price for it. The market is high right now for KWs

    It doesn't matter what a bu ch of idiots on a truck forum think. Will you be able to make the payments and make money?

    We’re not doing payments man. I work for my dad, I average 3400 a week and he does too. I’m sure that truck will pay itself off in no time! Oh and we sold our other sleeper KW so that’s going as down as well. It’s not too bad tbh plus the truck is beyond beautiful

    At one kenworth dealer I deal with occasionally, I was talking to the sales dweeb manager who asked me if I wanted a 900, I said no because I’m not in the business of having a truck that costs more money than it is worth. He laughed, he said he loves it when someone buys one, they have a good markup and makes them money but if it wasn’t the money that he gets from these fans of out dated trucks, he would push the better trucks harder.

    If you like the truck then you should buy it, plain and simple. Life’s too short to drive a truck you don’t enjoy and doesn’t make you proud to drive it.
     
    John E., Geronimo17, Gsm and 3 others Thank this.

    He sounds like an idiot. It's the same tech wrapped in a different body style, and doing work where aerodynamics aren't as important. Sounds to me like he was subtly kissing your ###. I'll bet he talks plenty of #### about plastic aero trucks when he's with a customer that specs heavy haul.

    Point being, neither truck is "better". They're suited for different tasks.
