Default low price of trucks?

what are you guys seeing for used trucks?

a buddy of mine just picked up a low mile 06 loaded dodge. 4wd, ext cab, 20's.... got it for $10k. also saw an 05 chevy about the same as above but with 160k miles, it went for $6500.

since the price of fuel has come down 50cents i am told they have bounced back up a little.

just curious how cheap a late model truck can really be had for.

that does seem cheap for a dmax. if they get any cheaper i might have to think about one. what kind of mileage can you get with one if they are chiped for mileage?

Ya im in the same boat. I've decided to just keep mine also, cant get anything for them. The diesel trucks really have dropped the most.

That is what I found. I have a 2005 and 2004 that I wanted to trade in on a NNBS ECSB. They would not even talk to me.

Looks like hers is a keeper and mine is garage art By the time I get mine back on the road it might be a classic.

Sounds like there's a stock pile going to auction.

Thats the bitch....I did that, pretty much stripped to the bone other than motor and NEW trans. Now I have a stock truck with a wounded 5.7L and new trans

I would LOVE to launch a missile at the refinery here, take about 4 billion in profits away from the *******.

Prob the less painful thing to do is drop a new block in and keep it. You know you're not going to get your money from the dealership.

Chevy's are so popular in the after market, that the Corp can't keep up. Listen, I have the GMAC manager from the local dealership wanting me to tell him when I'm going to sell my ride.. he sounded like he wanted to buy it. Prob is I wouldn't know what to buy....b/c I love my ride and I'm too damn picky. Salespeople don't like it when woman knows more than they do.
