RE: 1990 TRUGKlCHASSIS
With the bid split with two options, I did some research
concerning whieh truck would be best and which options we stcould
take.
Looking over the truck bids i have found the trueks to meet the
specifications we have asked for. We have also visually .
inspected the trucks and found very little difference in the two
models. The Ford has better visibility and a better ride. The
service from both dealers would be very good. We have dealt with
one of the dealers and received exeellent service and parts
availability.
I took � very lonq �ook �t the trade in opt%on offe��d. Z took
mhat th+ay had off�r+�d and re���rahed how �hat �amount comp�x�d
with selling the old truck straight out. I talked with twa truck
dealers and Barb Sutey (Hcnnepin County Cooperative Purchasing)
concerning selling the truc�C outright. The two dealers felt we
would be better off seiling the old truck on our own. They felt
Crading it in would not be in our best interest. Barb Sutey
stated that the Coun�y does better by selling them at aci�tion
rather than trading them in. She stated we could sell the truck
at their auction next spring. She stated several exampies of
truck prices and years old to indi�ate how the older trucks sell
at auction. It �ppeared to be in our fav4r.
With �11 this informatxon in hand, I would recommend that we buy
the truck straight out and se11 our old truck at the County
Auctian next spring, This would mean we would purchase the law
bid (Lakeland Fard) for a cost of $42,213.54.
A note on the selling of the old truck, if we wanted to see what
the market is, we could advertise in the local papers, put a
minimum bid amount with it and see if we wauld reeeive some bids
for the truck. If this did not wark Qut we could then take it to
the County Auction.
