    I'll bet if I worked at it, I could almost get what I paid for Casper 4 years and 350K miles ago.

    I'm still a bit unsettled selling Casper. If your truck breaks right now, something big, you could be really F'd just for parts.

    Well I think a truck is 155k now with inflation maybe 165k in a year. That's why I say it. I know vehicles are depreciating assets.

    You could just keep it. What do you clear a week or a month? Vs what is it worth now and when things slow again? If your only gaining say 10k by selling it now vs selling it at a normal time. The 10k is possible loss for the gaurentee of not being out of work for a week or four weeks. It's probably a push.
