The old rigs are getting valuable

A truck is only as valuable as some one will pay for it. Ive got a w9 glider with a 12.7 Detroit. You can offer me 200k and I wouldn't take it........

 

bet they get close to it, truely rebuilt (not rattle can) or original low mile old trucks may not be for everyone but they do have their niche

 

still have to replace it with something if you do, and what’s that going to cost?…..

And no I’m not sitting in a freightliner or volvo

 

The headline should read, "older trucks are becoming valuable FOR SOME". Older drivers are naturally going to swing towards something they are familiar with, and will pay a hefty premium to still drive them. History has shown, certain items are today's "hot button", and older trucks are right in there, but rest assured, as more and more older drivers throw in the towel, those high prices will drop like a stone once they're gone or retire. O/O's will more than likely be the last to want older trucks, as they just don't fit in with trucking today. I also think, the ultimate blow is when, not if, the feds decide older trucks are more dangerous, and to a novice, they are, and will want a premium for license and insurance. The wonderful state of Colorado charges me an extra $7 bucks a year for my "classic" 44 year old pickup truck,, reason? "Age of vehicle",,,

 

He will settle for a Tim Hortons gift card and an old hockey jersey.

Because I like him.. I will offer ... 2 chickens a bag of skittles ( his choice of flavor)..a 100.00 gift card to Applebee's.... and a Stan Makita... Black Hawks Jersey..( that should be old enough..lol )
And I'll throw in a Big Mac & large fries.. for your brokage fee

 

Throw in a quart of maple syrup and a pound of that round ham “they” like to call bacon and you got yourself a deal!

 

With the sun having for the most part set on getting a delete done I would definitely look at an older truck if I were to replace my 2013 but I also agree older trucks arnt for everyone either ....pick your poison.

 

Yea your right, youre back at square one. Then id be complaining about the prices of pre emissions stuff when I take that money and go try to find another one.....
