When I got rid of my 2500, I could have gotten an extra $10,000 for it if it was a diesel.
I didn't buy my diesel for the resale value, but NJRVer makes a really good point. I have a local small used dealer that sells only diesel trucks. They clean them up nice, put on a few bling pieces, and sell trucks with 150,000+ miles for $25,000 or higher depending on mileage or condition. That price sounds high, right? Nope....they sell them at those prices all day long. You almost never see the same truck on the lot for more than a week.
There is still really strong demand for diesel trucks and that's keep the values high. I bought my truck at a great price 3 years ago. I've put 60,000 miles on it during that time and I could probably sell it today for nearly the exact same amount that I paid. Crazy, but true.
