But that's tricked out.
Priced a new 32t Scania x480 dual drive day cab with hook gear and vbg hitch this week.
£190k for a work truck. It's to move a skidsteer planer. So not even earning any money.

Concrete lad I know has just bought a brand new Renault 8x4 mixer with liebherr gear for 180k.

Wrong badge though. The hook gear is stupidly expensive for what it is. 40-50 grand depending on brand. Plus upgraded running gear and vbg hitch to run at 44t. Would be cheaper on another chassis but thats a non negotiable.

What do you reckon he has lost on it in a year ?

What he's asking is not much less than he paid for it I'd think. Its not a top spec one.

Know that feeling.

Thing is, it doesn’t owe much now and it’ll come in handy over the next decade or so.

Don't forget there's idiots who have that much in two or three cars that will be worth half that in 3 years time

That fits - the palms are very tropical, the NJ barriers look like they are designed to kill you rather than keep in your lane - that's Asia all over..
