    2020 would’ve been before prices went crazy. But even at $150k new they still took a big hit, that’s for sure. They should’ve sold them 8 months ago.

    A year ago I pulled into this dealer and they had maybe three trucks out front... Now today, doubled up on both sides of the building. Of course the good stuff is hidden out back, probably 10 or so 389s.... Talk about inflation, $423 for a air bag and air dyer cartridge :eek:

    Wonder if it had the instrument cluster changed 17K miles ago?

    There's exactly 1 truck at our Freightliner, and it's probably the biggest in western U.S.

    I think when you peel the bark off of some, if not all of your super deals, the buyer better have more than a few dollars to put into it.

    "Oh you mean it needs $7K in rubber?" Just to start with.

    Yup, I looked them over a bit better, 474+ chassis miles. Could have made a mint on the. 8 months ago as @Long FLD said

    8 months ago they probably didn't have the replacements available.

    None of those probably have APU either. So they've been idled to death.

    "Oh. OneBox no bueno?"

    How much??? $15K Ching gow man.

    And you no have OneBox? When I can get? 3 months? Mucho no Bueno essay.

    Radiator too??? Another $3K???

    I think somebody got the emissions altered and sold it to a dude that pulls cans out of Long Beach.
