The worst thing that you can possibly do when buying or selling a truck is a simple mistake.
Not understanding what your truck is worth!
The value of your truck is influenced in part by its blue book value, wear-and-tear, damage, and many other factors. So it’s important to understand how trucks are valued.
For the most part, the blue book value is an indicator of the true value of a truck.
The blue book value quotes is a median (middle-of-the-road) selling price for a vehicle. It’s not the highest price, not the lowest - so it takes into account an “average” amount of wear and tear to a truck (and let’s face it - trucks are work vehicles… a little bit of damage, some chipped paintwork - it’s expected!)
But if your truck has a lot of damage, or is in pristine condition, then your truck could be worth a lot more, or a lot less.
How much more or less?
Well, this is a function of the market - how much someone is willing to pay.
Obviously buyers and sellers both want to get the best deal possible.
Truck-owners want to get the biggest price for their truck;
And truck buyers want to get a bargain.
So naturally they will find a price that’s somewhere in the middle.
This is why the truck value blue book (the official Kelley’s book, or the NADA book, or another market value) is a reasonably good indicator of what a a truck is truly worth.

Few trucks retain 50% of their initial value after 5 years - so one takes a heavy hit in the first 3 years. Toyotas and Nissans tend to hold their resale value a little better than the American cars. Of the Big 3 - probably Dodge holds resale value better than Ford or Chevy.
Edmunds published the Top 10 Trucks and SUVs with the Best Residual Value. The Ford F350 Super Duty came in 9th - behind the Toyota Tundra and Tacoma.

On the other hand of the scale, The Ford Ranger and the Mazda B-Series Truck (basically the same vehicle) wound up having the Worst Residual Value.

Believe it or not, it is a skill to buy the right vehicle, at a good or better price than what a particular vehicle is sold for in the market.
Before you do anything else, apply for a bank loan to purchase a new vehicle, find out what is your maximum loan amount your bank or any lender is willing to lend you. Once you know how much your loan approval is, then you are ready to start looking for the car you want.
Decide on the vehicle you will truly be happy or at the least very satisfied with, so that the notes will not feel painful. This is very important.
Will your next vehicle be a truck, a car, a SUV? Whichever type of vehicle you prefer start comparing different makes and models and get a general idea of what they are worth in the market. One easy way to do this is by visiting the Kelly Blue Book online at: http://www.kbb.com. Here you can check what the MSRP value is (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price, is the price set by the manufacturer).
Once you have a check from your lender, that check will good as cash at the dealership. This will give you buying power. You will be able to get the best possible cash on a vehicle you really like.
As you shop around do not let car salesmen to intimidate you, remember, you have done your home work, you have research the market value for the car you want, you know a fair price down to the miles of it. Now you have a check in hand and can negotiate a cash deal. Make cash offers and see what reactions you get from salesman. Do not give any information to salesman.
Once you are down to a few dealers where you will buy your car from, go to each, or call each of them on the phone, work with the ones that have a decent sense of customer service and who are willing to work with you, and via telephone make a cash offer for one of the vehicle you are looking for. For instance, you have researched a vehicle that easily sells for $15K or $16K with less than 30K miles. Offer $12K cash and gauge each of their reactions and see what happens. It’s not for nothing that Cash still the reigning king!
