moog5050 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Being realistic, used truck prices are insane right now, especially on the harder to find trucks. I could definitely sell the raptor I bought in January for 5k more right now. Not really the best time to be evaluating the normal costs of turning over vehicle every few years in a typical market. Pre-covid craziness, I bought my last raptor for 49k. It was a year old with 12k miles and sold it 6.5 years later for 31.5k with 90k miles. Raptors are far better than most vehicles in retaining residual value. That to me was pretty crazy and still amounts to $224/mo or nearly $2700 per year to own (not including maintenance). If you are doing better than that regularly with a non-specialty vehicle without the covid market effects, hats off to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYTRPR Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 While the used truck market is hot right now ,there is alwys a possibility to negotiate great deals .like buck master ,ive negotiated throughout this state and 4 others at the same time .I have friends in that industry so it helps to get an inside scoop on what you can get numbers wise on vehicles .I negotiate mostly everything,from new 4wheelers to concrete work .guess it comes by being cheap .but It works . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did my Carvana for my 4runner...the offer was more than I paid for the vehicle new. Had it since 9/2019 LOL. Stupid.

Moho81 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I wonder how close they check it over before handing over the check ,.From what I’ve read they show up with the check in hand the test drive and once over is the truck going from your drive way onto the flatbed and you never hear from them again.
