As the 2009 Reports roll in I will continue to give updates.
As for values, as the month closes out the numbers will be tabulated. Some conversations I have had say values continue to fall. A few believe the second half of 2009 will be a comeback of sorts, so don't drop values much. But I think we all thought that about 2008... Used truck folks seem to always be an optimistic group, guess it comes from us having to 'turn lemons into lemonade, if not strawberries'.
No matter how the year goes for you (and I do hope steady or a lot better) if you have the means, please know there is someone, some family, some child that needs your help. Tightening times is no time to look inward.

I am used trucks
I am in the fellowship of the 2%. The die has been cast, I have stepped out of the comfort zone, and the decision has been made. I am used trucks.
I won’t look back, let up, slow down or back away, my past is forgiven, my present focused, my future secured, I am finished and done with low living, side walking, small planning, faithless dreams, tainted visions, mundane talking, cheap excuses and dwarf goals.
I live by faith; learn by submitting, labor by love, lead by example, and lift by prayer. My dream is developed, my decision definite, my desire determined, my discipline dedicated, my devotion distinct, my path is set, my pace is fast, my road is narrow, my way is tough, my companion strong, my counselors reliable, my purpose pure, and my mission clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, diluted, delayed or denied. I will not fletch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the advisory, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t give up, shut up, let up until I’ve stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and stood up for the prices and cost of freedom. I must fight when others faint, go when others won’t, give till I drop, teach till all know and work until the task is finished and when it is all said and done I hope this amazing used truck industry will recognize me as one of their own.
