I'm thinking that a lot of dealers are going to be pushing to sell used trucks more and more. If I were a few years younger, I would not be interested in buying a used truck anymore. In a few more years, you'll have very limited use of it because of the EPA regs that will require you to retro-fit that older truck. Spending $30,000 to upgrade a $20,000 truck just doesn't make any sense to me. Then, even with a nice new truck... To have to spend $1000 to have it professionally cleaned to maintain the "CERTIFIED CLEAN IDLE", doesn't seem worth it anymore. And, I've heard a number of other guys that had thought about buying, saying about the same thing. EPA regs are knocking the bottom out of the used truck market, and dealers are going to be facing losing money on them. They want to get rid of them.
I know a couple of drivers with BAD credit that had no problem buying a used truck. Many of us see it as, you're not going to be able to keep a used truck on the road long enough to make it worth it, and the new trucks are going to be "AN INVESTMENT".
