    I Finally Bought Another Ride!

    I'll get some pic's up by the end of next week. Won't pick it up until mid week because of banking and so on. It all started out with me going up to kenworth of Columbus Ohio for the 10th time in the past two weeks and there sat a 387 peterbilt that look to be in real good shape. Test drove it and it ran good but noticed the front-end felt messed up and the stopping power was weak. It has a 435 cat with 430,000 on it with all new rubber and a APU unit. Clean truck.. Next was the question of price which was crazy high at $79,500. It's a 09.. Yesterday I took my truck up the to hear the offer on trade in which they offered me $30,000 which the pay off is $27,000. I left and never said a word.. He called today asking what I thought? I told him with my bank going $70,000 and my $3,000 trade that was all I could do!! He said he would see what he could do and would call me back which he did with-in 30 min's. He offered me $34,500 on mine which put me at $72,000 which I know is still high but It's about the best deal I've been able to do since looking.. Truck will be going to the front-end shop on Monday. Fuel average before taking off the speed limit was 7.6 MPG.. I paid $37,200 for the century 18 months ago and put on 150,000 miles which it now has 642,000 miles.
