At this time of global economic crises this is almost impossible to answer. Anything is only worth what somebody will pay and at present at auction some fleets are only making a small fraction of what they should be worth. However as a starting point, maybe if the trucks are well maintained, an optimistic value maybe made by devaluing as follows
20% year 1
20% year 2
15% every year after.

it is unlikely that in any market in the world that they will be worth more than that.

As said that I believe is optimistic and a s/hand dealer might offer a lot less.

hope this helps

The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
