new or used truck

for the first truck buy new or used one

Depends on 2 things. Does u has enough cash to burn, get em new. If ya don't just get em used! But beware get em used means u get to repair em much early then new one, I think.

Just started a new profile with all DLCs and mods disabled, except the Peterbilt 389 DLC(cause you need at least 1 truck to drive). I bought a used truck, the cheapest available. It had 5 stars, about 1% permenant damage, for like 85,000. I've already paid back like 1/3 my loan before level 4. Within a few more trips, I could definitely trade-in this used one towards a new one with no loan probably.

Buy new, the good used trucks can still cost quite a bit, but may need some fixes without the engine stalling every now and then so why not save a few drives longer to buy new.
A bad used truck is cheap, but very near undrivable and you need extensive repairs before you can use it.

Or, borrow 70.000, buy 2 used trucks for 30.000 each and hire 2 drivers, by the end of the day you're 400.000 in the red, but I suppose, haven't tested that, that you then get more money for the used trucks when selling them.

It also depends on what truck you want. The Western Star 5700X and International 9900i can only be bought used, for example.

9900i has its side mirrors farther back than any other stock truck. Mirrors and windshield view are better in 5700x. The stock engine sounds are better in 9900i, but I use engine mods anyway.

I like the 9900i because its a classic and I like the instrument panel. Really, the 5700x is probably better overall but I still drive the 9900i more.

The only reason I see to buy used is to get the trucks that aren't available as new anymore. Otherwise they serve no purpose.

New all the way.

Playing on the original economy, there is no point in buying used trucks. After all, you can earn money for a new one after driving 3-4 longer routes, and repaying the loan is very easy. A used truck only makes sense if you use the mod for a difficult economy where earnings are many times lower. SCS introducing used trucks without introducing economic difficulty levels (so that you can set much lower earnings in the game) is completely pointless.

Some truck models are not available anymore at the Truck Dealers. These trucks have to be purchased at the Used Truck dealer. You may then restore them to tip-top as new if you want.
