Used Cummins 5.9's

I watch the used truck market sometimes. It is interesting watching the value of the older 5.9 Cummins(Pre 6.7L). It seems to me that lately they are starting to creep back up. Last summer when diesel was $4.50+/gal there were some really good deals. Now I am seeing 05's and 06's 4x4 with 60 -70K going for about $5k more than they were a year ago. Makes me glad I have mine and it is paid for.

I noticed that too. I bought mine in April of last year and values were dropping a little but not a lot.

Then a couple months later values really dropped and I wish I had waited about 3 or 4 months.

Now values are back up and feel pretty good about what I paid for my 03.

DON'T look at prices or other deals unless you need to buy.

If you bought your truck, just quit browsing and don't look back.

There will be ALWAYS a better deal, whether is a truck or a computer or a baseball bat. Just be happy with your purchase and enjoy it.
