They can say what ever they want, but money is tight around here at least. Most of the people here are not spending money on much of anything they don't have to have right now. I don't think its so much they don't have the money, but it has the feeling that they are not willing to spend it. Lots of people that are scared right now about what is happening in this country.
Our area has always been the first area to feel a down economy, and is often one of the last to recover, has been for years. Money started getting tight about midway through last year, but this just doesn't feel like the normal kind of slow down. There are a lot of cool, very reasonably priced, projects that are not selling, and more seem to be turning up everyday. If the economy tanks like some are predicting, I believe there are going to be a lot of nice projects coming up for sale, if you have money to spend.
Not trying to tell you what to do with your truck. My point is, if you think you might have to sell the truck to move forward on the new project, and you have someone offering more then you think your truck is worth, you might not get that kind of money out it again it for years to come. I also understand the concern of not being able to find another one in the condition this one is in. Tough spot to be in.
Personally, if I didn't currently need the truck, I would probably sell it, keep 1/2 the funds back to replace it with later, and use the other 1/2 on the new project.
