Paying $80,000-90,000 for a 2016 semi truck with 800,000 miles?

Gesus, my 08 389 isn't that clean but I think that price is a little out to lunch. Maybe 80k for mine isn't so far fetched

 

Asking price means nothing, only what it sells for.
I know of 4 trucks near me for sale, been for sale for months.

 

Ain't that the truth. Nothing hurts in asking

 

I sold my 1994 379 3406E last year, I wonder how much would’ve it been worth now……

 

My sister and I purchased a house together in 2017. We looked at about 15 places for sale, put in an offer on 1, it was rejected. Made an offer on another place, it was also rejected.
About a month went buy, we get a call from the realtor of offer #1, asking if our expired offer, could be revisited. After some talking, we put in another offer, but for $5,000 less than our original. They accepted it, and we have been happy homeowners since August 2017 now. Lesson for them, they would have got more money, and a month earlier, if they didn't try to be so greedy.
When vehicle shopping in 2014 I went to the closest Ford dealership. They were not willing to accept my offer on an F150 I liked.
My next day off I drove 50 minutes to a different dealer, they had an almost identical F150 in stock, it was just a bit nicer. This F150 should have sold for a bit more money, but still I made them the identical offer on the out the door price, taxes, fees, everything in.
Sales lady went inside, i waited for her to return, standing beside my car in the parking lot, ready to drive off. She came back out smiling, and shook my hand, they accepted my offer.
Always be willing to walk/drive away.
Clown boy at Ford dealer #1 called me the day after I bought my new vehicle, asking me to come back, I said no need I already bought a nicer truck from your competition.
Sellers need to stop thinking everything they own is made of gold, and take a reasonable offer. Just because they over priced an item, doesn't mean they can sell it for that.

 

Anything is only worth as much as somebody will pay for it, and not a penny more.

 

I like and appreciate your story. When I’m in buyer mode I think the same way!

I also like and appreciate the sellers story and when I’m in seller mode and think that way!

That’s what’s fun and beautiful about the entire thing. Some people are horrible at both, some are good at one or another, but to be good at both is when you can really start to respect and enjoy the whole process IMO.

 

I wonder if used prices will start to ease up. Kenworth, Peterbilt and Freightliner dealers by me all have substantially increased the amount of used trucks on their lots in the last couple of weeks.

 

I really doubt it man. I just got the one truck that was built early August and the other still is completely AWOL so I doubt there’s much movement going on.

 

They are stock piling, alot easier to get financed from a dealer then say your bank
