Normal wear and tear doesn't bother potential used truck buyers, because they are buying a truck for a purpose, not a luxury. Having a used truck for sale with general wear and tear, like scratches, and dents just adds character to a dependable investment. As mentioned, buying a used truck for a purpose means that the truck will be used for work and be more susceptible to these imperfections by the new owner anyway.

Small pick up trucks experience a little bit more depreciation on the market when comparing used truck prices.  This is due to the fact that a typical small truck will not have the durability or longevity of a heavy duty full size pickup truck.  Furthermore the uses for a full size pickup far outweigh what can be done with a small size, like a Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado.

New Truck Buyers

The good news for those looking to buy a brand new pick up truck is that you could expect the resale value to hold.  The less depreciation you expect when driving off the lot, the better and the more likely you will be able to resell in a few years and recoop some of the original buying price.  There is always a market for used trucks that are priced right, because you just can't haul a mattress or tow a trailer with a gas saving small car.  Everyone needs a friend with a truck to help them move...right?

Used Truck Prices

Now's a great time to be buying too, since there are so many cheap used cars on the market.  There are an influx of quality cars on the market that people can no longer afford, so they are willing to part with them for pratically nothing.  Furthermore in this economy people are essentially liquidating their garage for extra spending money, including the car out back that had 1 ft tall grass growing around it.  Yes, I'm willing to capitalize on someone elses misfortune, as long as it means a good deal.

Used Jeep

After looking around for some deals, I've also got a few ideas for a new toy as well.  I've always wanted a used Jeep, possibly an old Wrangler, to toy around with.  I'm really looking for a project Jeep that I don't have to be dependent on, but will provide a little fun after a hard rain.  Well, there are plenty of Jeep's under $1,000 right now on the internet just begging to be bought and played with.  As soon as I make my purchase I'll be sure to start posting my project pics, until then happy hunting for your own next project.
