Resale Value

Alot will depend on the make and style of truck to along with its spec's. In my area flattop's bring the most used then midroof's 2nd the last condo's.

 

$250/week $1000/month 12000/year $60000/ 5 years
how could you get your value out of a condo?

 

Well, it has been my experience that flattops, and midroofs will get you the most bucks at resale. A lot of seasonal agriculture use for them. Somewhat difficult to take a condo under a grain chute in most places. Frankly, except for teams, I have not ever seen the need to even buy a condo to begin with. They are harder to cool in the summer, heat in the winter. And overall, just a lot of wasted space. Unless you are a pro basketball player, virtually all midroofs will have the space and storage anyone would need, and it is easier to sell when that time comes. Just have an air dam on top for aerodynamics (unless you are doing skateboards). It can be easily removed by the next buyer.

If you spec the cabinets and such in the interior of a midroof sleeper right, you can actually have more storage than a typical condo with two bunks in it. I have full cabinet top and mid cabinet low, behind passenger seat, midway cabinet behind drivers seat with built in refrigerator freezer below that, and airline style overhead cabinets all the way around the sides and back of the interior. I have slide out desks for both sides which have extra storage in them for paperwork, laptop, etc.

No way a condo is worth an extra $250 a week. You need to bank that for maintenance and other things.

 

Same opinion here....Condo no good for tanker work either. Get a mid or a flat top with 12'6" pipes ( OR 12's ) so you don't cut out any potential buyers......

Also, IMO you're selling it too late on the hub side. To maximize profit in this market you'll do much better offering the truck in the high 4's to low 5's on the hub. Value drops big time as you approach 600k.

JMO..... good luck

 

Resale value? Why worry about resale value? Do you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket? Buy the truck. Run it until the wheels fall off. Rebuild it. Run it until the wheels fall off, again. Rebuild it again. Run it until the wheels fall off, again. Sell to a scrap yard and retire. You'll be way ahead, in the long run.

 

There's NO WAY a condo bunk costs that much more>check your numbers or your sales guys numbers as something is way off.

 

Its about 6k more not 60 k! Some one must be trying to retire?

 

$250 a week will buy you a real condo. Course it'll take more than 4 years

$25 a week?
