    The prices of 3-4 year old used trucks going back to $50k - $60k is more than possible. Maybe in 6 - 8 months...

    It is still too much to my liking.
    But...how much is a brand new T680 specd for a general freight...$190k-210k?
    The alternative would be to get that Arrow Truck Sales Paccar KW for $75 000 ...after some huddling, spent $10- $15k on a complete aftertreatment overhaul, than 20-30K on whatever else is going to pop out in the next 50 000-100 000 miles, and it is still a decent value for the truck.
    The payments should not exceed $2000
    with 20k down payment.
    At this setup, you're still able to withstand the pressure of 2 - 2.5 dol a mile freight at $4-5 per gal diesel, if you are not planning go beyond the spot market freight.

    That's what I always say to my children. If you don't have those two have enough money to pay or it will stay broke. They have me for now so they save. :D:D

    Well if you must know, I paid zero for the truck I'm driving right now. I took a pay cut and borrowed it from the owner for the time being. But prior to this truck I've never had a truck payment since buying my first one back in 2009.
     
    lynchy, Siinman, SL3406 and 3 others Thank this.

    There's a revolving door for new truck owners. Also a similar one for people who are experts at other peoples' business. Neither seem to actually go away over time.
