Looking for ways to save money when trading tractors? Here’s a
tip from a larger midwestern truck dealer. He says, “We can
spend thousands of dollars on a trade-in and make profit on our
investment. There is always a market for clean used trucks in
good condition. And we allow a premium for trade-ins that require
little renewal work in our shops.”
Moral of the story, of course, is that the truck owner who keeps
his tractor in good mechanical condition – spending a few dollars
and some elbow grease to improve appearance before trading,
stands to be repaid handsomely. A fresh coat of paint and a
thorough clean-up job on the interior may even improve chances
of selling the used rig outright for a premium over trade-in price.
