I'm also in the market and I have to do it this year for tax reasons. I can answer all of that if it will help me. I kind of gave up on buying new and have been looking for a year old or so. I'm wondering if waiting a month will help me? It looks like the economy and pile up of trucks is starting to show and reduce prices out of need to move em?
Watch ALL the ADS!!
20-25% off with interest BEFORE negotiations are best. No extras.
15% is good if that is all they are doing now.
Cloth half ton has 3500-5000k to play with marhin wise.
LOADED Leather one ton has 7-9k to play with.
Leather Diesel has 9-12k to play with.
