Selling a truck
New England Native:
Although I have a friend that is making lots of money from trucks right now. He is a dealer that goes to auctions and whenever a truck comes up everyone turns away not wanting to touch it. So he is almost stealing them, he picks one's that would be an excellent work truck and sells them to contractor's landscapers etc. these people can't just start using a kia to save on gas, they need a truck! :IBCOOL:

I'm in the same boat and haven't even gone to a dealer because i know i'll get low balled.

IMO, after Chevy closed 4 plants yesterday, sell it now cause its going to get worse. Truck market is down 22% since Jan.
8000 dollars trucks are getting about 3000 for trade in on avarage. It really also depends on how much you want to spend.
My bro's girlfriends 2002 Dodge 1500 took a year to sell and they finally traded it in 2 months ago and got 7000 on a new limited Sub Legacy. I suspect if they were buying a 13000 eco box they would have maybe got 5g's.
Look at the Hummer dealer in Fife. The Hummers are stacked so close you can barely open the doors.
Sell now. Or forever keep your truck...
Im keeping my 95 powerstroke. I have a 3000 pound, 2005 camper I have to haul with the boat. Vaca's cost more and I always have at least 3 to split costs.
This shait really blows!

My 99 power stroke has low mileage, 80K but it's been used for work in the hills, pulling horse trailers, wood logs etc. It has a few small dings and has been brush rubbed lots so I'm stuck, no way I could get anything on a trade. But that's OK, it runs just as good as a new one.
