I have no idea what the resale will be...but I do know HD trucks right now...clean back to 2013 are hardly any cheaper than buying a new 4th Gen with rebates.
The 2018 I was just looking at $41000 out the door...2017 exact configuration but less overall options...$36500 and 54000 miles.
And that was several months ago.
The 2018s still on the lot...I am guessing will be discounted more...considering how well the 5th Gen 1500 still sold with heavily discounted 2018s on the lot and the cheaper 2019 classic also.
Trucks are expensive. All ofthe sudden 2nd Gens are worth 20 grand and 3rd Gens are back to 30 grand.
I secretly wish the truck bubble would pop. Unfortunately it just keeps getting bigger
I concur! 4-5 wk's ago I was looking and there were lots more options in low mi. (reg. cab diesel, drw's) on cars.com & autotrader (Nationwide search). Now there are maybe 5 or 6 that meet all my specifications - from color to tow package etc. I am looking at 48K prior to tax & any dealer fees for the truck that meets my criterion check list. That's why I'm going to wait until after the 19 debut.
I am amazed at how well the trucks hold their value in general, but especially the diesels. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless there is just a marked limitation in supply. When U consider that a 2012 - 2014 has no original warranty it just doesn't make sense that people would pay close to 40K for them unless there is just a flat out shortage with a disproportionate demand...
Given the fact that there is NO current 'supply' of newish 4th gen diesel, reg. cab drw's; da 2019's coming out can do nothing but help with supply of 4th gen's (ie. cant get more limited than it is now), lol... As far as the price, who knows... they may even increase, as ugly as the new gen seems to be
