5 year old buck +
My work truck (05" f350 diesel) has 580k miles on it currently. Most of which is pulling around 14,000 pound dump trailers of old shingles, skidsteer and other construction stuff. I bought that one used with 50k miles in 2009. Almost traded it in on a new one about 3 years ago and they offered me $500 less than I originally paid. Yes after adding about 400 thousand miles at that time. Just a little reminder of the deals that may likely come after this current economy possibly mimics what we experienced in 08/09. Granted if you're set on brand new, maybe need to hustle if lines stay shut down
Im anticipating buying alot of equipment and toys for cash deals in the next year. Can't lie, I loved the last horrible economy from a personal gain standpoint. Do feel terrible for older folks thou right now
Also, if you use milage for your deductions you'll benefit highly from a one ton truck. Can't remember exactly but I think it's another 20 cents a mile if over 8k pounds. For this reason all my guys who get company vehicles are in one ton vans with 10k pound license plates even though a half ton van with 6k pound license plates would be sufficient.
