    Then why keep asking? If insurance is too much, write it off as not being a good business decision. If you're just looking for a reason not to do it, then I guess the high cost of insurance is as good as any. You sure seem to want it though... or you wouldn't keep thinking about it. So do it. You can retire with it and enjoy the end of your career. Sometimes irresponsible decisions are the best. :)

    The dude's had it for awhile too. Over a year. He has 3 of them.

    I'm one of those f up people that if I give my word, I'll keep it, so if he accepts my lowball offer I gotta follow through.

    Cause it's not like they're exactly flying off the shelves.

    THE accountant is going, "You'll be empty and moving again tomorrow, so don't do anything rash."

    So go back and see if the folks you got Otter's truck have another that you can trade Casper in on?

    Balance that business decision with Kitty House business decision.

    Keeping in mind you could probably buy property with the price difference of the 2 trucks.

    I agree... don't make the decision before knowing everything for a fact. However, if he's had those three for a while and if he has common sense, he's going to either forget selling them until the economy is back to normal, or he's going to unload it now before the situation gets worse. If it were me, I'd talk to him a couple times to feel him out and process the whole situation, then make the lowest reasonable offer I think he may even think about accepting. Just don't show your hand or let on how much you really want it. You'll really fornicate with the canine if you do that.

    They have a whole parking lot full lol. But they also don't want anymore used trucks.

    Now a new truck, right now, before things get moving again, yea KW would give me a deal. That's on a regular 680, not the kitty mommy 680.

    He's a dick. He'd go one way or the other. Either sell it, so he can bring in a newer model, or keep it, hoping to glean a little more out of it.
