    Default Should I sell my truck to the states?

    I need some advice from Beyond.

    So I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. I bought it in 2019 for 42k out the door.

    I use the truck mainly just for work commuting and winter driving. I use to have a quad but I sold that too during the hot market we are seeing.

    I got a offer from a US buyer for 39k. Only loosing 3k depreciation after 18months of driving at 23,000Kms.

    So I am wondering if you guys think I should sell it now and take advantage of these ridiculous prices?

    I would like to get into a new F150 in a couple years when the prices stabilize and I can capitalize on a good employee pricing sale. In the mean time I was probably going to pick up a commuter type car for 15-20k like a Accord or TL.


    Also what is your guys opinion on the long term value of a truck like a Hemi Ram? With electrification of everything and increasing gas prices 5-10 years down the road I fear that these old V8 half tons might depreciate hard.

    The truck will never be worth more than it is right now.

    If you can part with it. Sell it.

    This, book values have levelled off over the last two weeks from what I’ve seen.

    I am thinking this might be true, but I don't know how long it is going to take for the chip shortage to sort itself out. There are literal stadiums and parking lots full of new builds waiting for semiconductors that will flood the market once they are available. It all comes down to how quickly those semi conductors can get produced and delivered.

    If you are thinking of selling, list it for $43k and see what responses you get.

    Just my brain… But as soon as I start consider selling a car, it’s already gone in my head. If I still wanted it I wouldn’t have thought about selling it.

    So… Sell it.

    39k vs 42k?
    Why not sell for full price?

    Hell, wait a few months and MAKE a couple grand.

    The thing I dont like about this truck is the HVAC. Its garbage. Takes forever to get hot in the winter and the windshield defrost has a cold spot right at your head. So if you drive in freezing rain you cant see anything lol.

    Anyway I appreciate the input from everyone and I will make a decision.

    Also to ExtraSlow I got it listed for 43k privately actually and all ive been getting is lowball offers of 37k and talking to guys that dont know the difference between quad cab and crew cab.....

    Is 37k on a 43k list a lowball?

    Maybe not what you want. But 30k, now that’s a lowball.
