yes, crazy around here. Good time to sell and horrible time to buy. Seems like all the gov money is starting to dry up some as I have seen things last for sale a little longer than they did a few months back.
Yep! I just purchased a 1999 F350 7.3 turbo diesel with 70K miles for $16K. Blue book is $7K. Was offered $18K the very next day! I need it for my business and hopefully will not have to replace it ever. I’m thinking of selling my 1996 F250 5.8l gas 170k miles for $4K and have 3 people begging for it. Some dealers are telling me to ask more. Crazy times! I paid $1500 for the F250 3 yrs ago.
Trucks are still crazy, but lead time on a new one is 6-9 months. I saw a new F250 with a 50k dealer markup in Missoula, it's the only one sitting on the lot for 500 miles around. 1/2 tons are easier to find, 3/4 tons and 1 tons are thin. I think our local toyota dealer has less than 1/2 dozen new cars on the lot, no trucks.
Two examples of recent. I traded in my 2012 F150 king ranch on a 21 Ram. I bought the f150 used with just over a 100k miles. Paid 19000 about three years ago. Dealer gave me 17500 despite 160k and both cab corners rusting out. Similar trucks are on lots for around 22 to 23.
My brother leased a Toyota Tacoma just over a year ago. Had another kid small truck ain't making much sense. Dealer bought him out of the lease. He got paid 7500 bucks to drive it for a year. He put 20k on the truck and walked away with 7500 bucks more than the total of his lease payments.
So yes it is easy crazy money right now on used trucks. But your gonna get screwed if your trying to replace something right now.
Whatcha think a 2001 Chevy 3500 extended cab 4x4 dually with a duramax and Allison would go for these days in your area ? Extremely clean truck with 64k miles
We had a 2017 and a 2016 F-150's 4x4 four door's a little over 100k on both. Took them in to trade came home with a 2021 F-150 XLT 4x4 four door and a few $$. I told them they were crazy. But they were going to do just fine. Cannot find used anything around here if you do higher than a Georgia pine. So yes, Sale it!!
I bought a 2018 Tundra Crewmax in 2019 for $35K. 10,000 miles. Looked up the value now with 75,000 miles. KBB shows $40K. Not that I'm selling or trading it. Used prices at the dealer now are just crazy. I live in a small town with a GM and a Ford dealer. Their lots are full of other brand used cars. Almost no new ones.

I have got to throw the bs flag on this post....bob
My favorite John Wayne quote from the Searchers... "No, a human rides a horse until it dies, then he goes on afoot. A Comanche comes along, gets that horse up, rides him 20 more miles... and then he eats him."
I own trucks with 450k miles and wouldn't think twice about driving them anywhere.
Vanity and stupidly complex chit breaking is why folks are always buying new... or low mileage trucks.
I own four Cummins rigs... every one of them is worth twice what I paid.
Moral of the story... get smarter in what you buy. New does NOT mean better always.
After rebates and taxes I paid $39k for my 2019 F250 gasser when it was new over 3 years ago. It only has 30k miles on it but I was offered $48k a few weeks ago on a trade.
