Is it just me or does it seem like used trucks are way over priced?

There's no way trucks with more than 100k should be over 15grand.

I've been in the market to add a truck to the fleet, and I'm actually finding good deals. I just haven't found the one I want yet

The market shifted when Cash For Clunkers was in effect. That program removed thousands of affordable trucks from the market, so everyone who use to pay 4000-5000 for a truck ended up moving to a higher price category. The market hasn't leveled out since for vehicles with mediocre fuel economy. Hard to believe in 2008 I bought a 2004 4wd silverado with 69k miles for $8500. It's practically still worth that much, and would be worth more if it was an extended cab.

It's crazy around here. I was just on the CL, some guy wants 18k for his 98 F250 with 225k on it because it has the 7.3. Thing looks beat to heck.

I'm finding the same with vans here. I've been checking cl and auto trader as I'm preparing to go out on my own. Vans with 250k that want 7000 for. I might end up going the truck and trailer route.

Seams that way around here. There is an 08 dually 2wd Cummins work truck model guy wants $29500 has 275000 miles.

Prices are high at the moment nothing to do with cash for clonkers that was almost 10 years ago. More abiut supply and demand. I was looking for a new full size van but I am going to go fro a ford transit and set up a small service crew with that and see how we go

Cash for clunkers was 5 years ago.

I got a 97 chevy 3500 with a hole in the head, a ford f450 dump with a bad head, and a vw golf with a blown engine. All available real cheap. Who says theres no deals out there......

 

[jlsconstruction]

I know a few used car dealers, and they said a bunch of Mexicans are coming here to the auctions and buying all the trucks, along with over seas guys are buying up stuff too. I guess it's cheaper to buy them here and ship them than to buy them in there countries.

So a clunker 5 years ago would have been at least 10 years old. So those trucks are now 15 years old

Like I said, 16 years old and still wants 18k.

Look hard. I bought a 2010 F150 4x4 crew cab in december 2011 for 19,500. Mint, but 70k miles. My brother (PM) is driving it now. I bought a 2012 F 250 4x4 crew cab for 25k in December. 61k mikes, mint. I looked for 6 weeks for both.

Like I said, 16 years old and still wants 18k.

Well he's retarded. I've checked out 3 duramaxs crewcab long box, all 07 and 08s with miles from 66k to 120k in better than average condition with prices from $18500 to $23000.

 

[jlsconstruction]

That's all been in the last week. And I lied one was a short box. It had 66k and was the cheapest. But was only the lt package

Yeah in my opinion those are still crazy prices. I got my 04 2500HD in 2010 for 18.

I know that's what they go for but still. Dang, it's just 4 wheels and a motor.

 

[Jaws]

Our 08 Ford extended cab 3/4 diesil I bought last year with 105k miles, 13k.

Our 07 Ford 3/4 crew cab diesil 4xr crew cab Lariat we bought for 31k in 09.

Our Chevy one ton van was like 8k, its an 02. My old 01 3/4 Chevy standard transmission single cab was 21k new.....

Get in with a dude who goes to auctions....

They are diesels. That's why. I've got a 13 duramax that was 53k new, and a '11 1500 short bed regular cab that was 28k new. I retired my powerJOKE so we need to replace it.
