1. 80 Series

There is a similar thread in both the 100 and 200 Classifieds Sections, makes sense here too. These trucks are changing hands at a rapid rate these days, having consolidated live market data is a nice thing for both buyers and sellers.

If you have recently bought or sold an 80 series and are comfortable sharing the details, post it here.

Does that have an NV4500? Sweet rig!

Thx, really enjoying it! LS swap had the NVA4500, Cummins has a Newly rebuilt A442F transmission with billet torque converter and a Compushift II transmission controller to handle the serious motor torque

Definitely wish I had held on to my 1995 locked, but that was years ago. Bought it for $3,500 with 250k or something

If you want a 93+, don't compromise. It's a big difference. Keep waiting.

Probably recession within 12 months

LOL at probably.

We already have negative GDP growth and the crappiest inflation numbers in 40 years. The consumer spending data and retail sales volumes I see at work every day suggests we're already in a recession. The only thing still propping us up is workforce/ hiring numbers which are just a long tail normalizing after a hot job market for two years. Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Walmart, Facebook, etc. have already shifted to human capital draw down strategies which suggests that hot job market is closing fast.

Nothing wrong with a good recession though. Means all but the cleanest 80s will continue to see downward price pressure, especially when coupled with high gas prices. Sounds like we're headed for a buyers market to me.

I wonder if it’ll eventually be like 2008 again, where you literally could barely give these away.

I do wonder if this recession will be muted or shortened compared to that one though, just because of how much everyone’s anticipating it. In fact that anticipation might be the main cause of the downturn; after all, the economy’s all about perception.

I think it'll depend on what degree of credit default is triggered by the downturn. I don't think we're in nearly as poor shape as we were in 2008 when people had been pulling "free money" out of their houses for years and had mortgaged to the hilt. Increasing interest rates will put a crimp on household budgets and free cash flow, but the way the US economy works it's not as big a problem as countries where most mortgages carry variable rates.

The majority of 80's will definitely take a hit I'd imagine. The sad part is many of them currently owned by non-enthusiasts will find their way to wrecking yards because the owners don't know any better.

I am looking forward to seeing a change in Gen Z applicants I interview ... Hopefully they'll finally realize they can't demand daily neck rubs, afternoon nap time and the CEO's parking spot with zero experience and realize like the rest of us that without a job they're going to have a hard time feeding themselves, paying rent and buying their next new iPhone.

Whenever someone is ready to give theirs away, I am ready.

Running 80s need be priced $5,000-$15,000, depending on condition, miles, and lockers.

Unlocked should rarely be more than $10,000. Most clean unlocked 80 prices are starting to enter that range, so that's comforting.

 

[acc1]

Seems like a good time to be patient then

 

[sogafarm]

I'm hanging on to my '94 for at least a few more years. I remember during the last downturn, 60's were cheap, but recently have exploded in price. The 80 series will do the same, go down temporarily, then sky rocket when(if) the economy recovers. The more 80's that get scrapped or modded makes the remaining nice examples go up in value.

I’m impatiently waiting for clean 80s to fall below $10k

I attempted to list my ‘97 LX. 450 triple locked, 225k mi. On BAT . They denied me, said they have too many already. Really?

They've had a ton lately and part of the allure to bat is variety and quality.

List it in cars and bids?

 

[acc1]

Which one of you was it haha

 

[mjosoba]

Oh man. Not I. I wish!

They just did the same for me and my 96 LX450 with 166K miles, when they just had one on there the month prior that didn’t hold a candle to mine at 211K and got bid to 23k

I wonder if this will get me too, at some point I’m hoping to list my 86k LX450 on there.

So I heard back from BaT, the first email they sent me denying was based on the fact that I wanted to protect myself with a reserve. They are looking for more sellers willing to go no reserve at this time with 80’s series they said.

That's such a scary risk to me.
