When you are saying a new truck was roughly the same as a one or two year old one, you could not have worked you best deal on the used one. It does not make sense. Yes, they want to move last year models, but they don't sell them cheaper than used vehicles. The markup is generally higher on used vehicles, so you have to work your best deal and you will get one for less than a new one. If that wasn't the case nobody would buy a used car, ever.
