Can anyone smarten me up about truck prices? I have been looking at 3/4 ton diesel trucks, primarily on Autotrader.com, but see the same thing on the car lots.
Diesel Fords lowest price is around $38,000, Chevies a little higher. " Well," thought me, "I might be able to get by with a gasser, let's look at prices for a new gas 350". Not that much cheaper. Lowest prices for a 350 gas started at $36,000 or so.
Then I looked at low mileage 3/4 ton trucks, and those prices were darn near new prices. As a matter of fact, it looked like by the time you considered the favorable financing on new, they might even be cheaper than used.
What an I missing here?
