Is that 4x4?
Seem cheap in Australian dollars. A cab chassis (ie: not even a tray) 8 tonne Isuzu 4x4 is around $250K here, let alone with all the paraphernalia.
I think that’s a two wheel drive truck.
Never ceases to amaze me how much things have gone up. At that rate it seems damn near impossible to sell work at what it’s really worth. Kinda depressing.

It’ll even out
How much is that truck as a rear mount and with elevator going for now?

Same truck m2 106 with a rear mount is going for 189k or 219k with the elevator
So for comparison my unit with 330hp Cummins (12L?), 4x4, full lockers, and elevator was 207k in December of 2017 (2018 truck). The 4x4 alone added 30 or 35k back then. Allison 3500RDS and 6:18 gears. Plus custom paint on booms and truck and aluminum wheels).
Thank god it’s paid for now! Lol
I always thought it was bs the way they charge you more for a rear mount when it’s nothing more that an extra set of outriggers really? To have a dump body like that installed by SC or AT is probably close to 30k now.
I was quoted 160k for a plain Jane rear mount elevator XT 60-70 Pro back in 2017.
So in five years basically they went up a fully loaded G1200 with bucket, forks, and hardox (power rotating) grapple. Just to put it in perspective.

So maybe I'll keep it for 5 years then sell it for more than I paid. The economy is nuts
I just saw listed a very clean but basic 2017 m2 rear mount for 160k. You may be right.
What are the payments like for you? Are you selling the other one once the parts come in?

So that was without an elevator? The payments on this are about 3,000 but I believe I can get it down to 2,200 in a few months with a refinance option. Insurance will take the old truck for 35k it's an '05 GMC. Not sure if it's worth trying to fix and sell for more, it's easier to just take a check now. I paid 45k for that truck in 2019.
Trying to not kill the corn today
I wouldn’t hold your breath. Would be some serious competition from Lewis, Asplundh, Nelson, Davey, JJ Kane auctions and such lol
Lol, you guys all love me!!
