[shtferbrains]

Takes two bidders to make an auction.
Even Pete Rafter couldn't get that high.

Thing are more than crazy right now.
When covid started they though stimulus was needed to keep a bottom in the market.
How will history see this?

Was told that if you are stopped on a steep grade with trains and a 13sp you will smoke the clutch?
It's a 9sp in low with a splitter on the top 4?

if youre clutch isnt set up perhaps...

Low on 13 is 12.31:1, L-Low on 18 is better at 14.40:1, but i seldom launched in that gear on even 7-8% grades as you struggled to gather enough momentum to even be able to grab the split from L-Low to H-Low. I regularly launched in H-Low which is 12.29:1 so very much the same as a 13.

No matter how you managed it, at 7-8% plus there was always a little polishing of the flywheel...

Only time the splits ever mattered to me when pulling the hills was finding a "sweet spot" that you could basically drop a brick on the pedal for 20 or 30 minutes and bang away at 17-1800.

And only 40000# diffs?
13 speed?
Only 475 hp ?
Amazing

1) not many "long haulers" want anything more than 40,000lb diffs. If they are super 40's (highly likely) they have the same guts as a 46, just less oil and cast steel.

2) Even dragging 140,000lb through the mountains, a 13sp would have been hardly any disadvantage as compared to an 18.

3) Most all C15 cats are listed as 475. That's what's stamped on the side of the engine. In that vintage every C15 shipped as a 475 from factory and the ECM was re-flashed to max 550 if the customer wanted it.

If he ended up with the BXS model C15 then someone could have been looking for that truck for years... They were, and it would seem still, are highly coveted. They came with most of the upgrades that mattered for the 2006 model year (better doors/handles, and cab mounted mirrors rather than door mounted) with the aesthetic appeal of the pre 2006 "canadian class interior."

Since I paid just a bit more than a third that much for mine in 2011, perhaps the proud new owner wants a second one?

What is so special about a truck with 1.5 million km?

if you sell it for more than you purchase it for the difference is a capital gain which 50% is taxed at your marginal rate... then the balance is deducted from your cca schedule till it hits nill then is taxed fully as recaptured capital cost allowance.

these new accelerated cca deductions can get a person in trouble if you take the full amount to reduce taxes while using a loan for the purchase. this may be why trading multiple units often is so popular.

I have been told bin leases can really hit hard. You actually only purchased the bin for 10% of the original value and it holds its value at a sale.

Do you actually need the purchase price? Once it has been depreciated to zero, isn't that the book value you have to use?
