Just a couple things,
When we sold our 2001 Ram 2500 with 315,000 miles, I got just shy of $10,000 for it. We had bought it eight years earlier for $14,000 with 234,000 miles. So for a 18 year old truck with 314,000 miles don't think that is too bad.
A gasser would have gotten maybe $1,500.
Just a couple more things.
By the logic in this thread a 10 yr old gasser comparable to the 10 yr old diesel would have only been worth $6,000
8 years later.
$14,000 less $10,000 = $4,000 diff
$ 6,000 less $1,500. = $4,500 diff
Oh goody, $500 more.
