    Say you wanna buy a 2002 or older cheap truck and run it to the ground until it blows up.
    Where's a good place to lease onto that'll accept your truck and give you a good % and etc?

    Most places I see say your truck must be 10 year or newer.

    new trucks are very expensive
    semi new trucks are 50-60K and done are warranty so still you'll have to pay for problems
    that's why I'm think just getting a cheap dog of a truck and making money with it for however long it lasts.

    I'm done with this company driver bs

    Look to buy an older truck from an o/o, not a dealer. You stand a much better chance of getting a lot better cared for truck for less dough.

    You don't make money buying a POS truck and running it til it blows. You can make money with an older truck if you find one in good shape and invest wisely in maintenance and repairs. And catch some luck.

    I agree, but I think the poster was writing as a figure of speech not literally.
