I know there will be people who come back and disagree but when you get 10-15yrs out, don't count on getting a $10k premium on resale for a diesel.
Last couple times we were shopping, there was little if any premium at that price point.
The difference in salvage value is still directly related to the condition and miles of the vehicle. 15 years old, rusted out and 300k miles, you're correct, neither truck is worth schitt.
10 years old, 150k miles, assuming both in identical great condition, you are 100% wrong. Heck, even NADA puts the diesel at $7500 more apples to apples and the real world prices support this.
Which if I'm not mistaken, is as much or more than the diesel upgrade cost 10 years ago.
If there was little or no price premium where you shop, there are 3 possible reasons for that.
1. You're not comparing even close to apples to apples.
2. You WANT a gasser and some salesmen were blowing smoke up your skirt and you liked it.
3. Your full of _it.
