well let me give you my opinion as i just looked at their website i am also in the market for another truck....
2001 pete 379.....$10,000 dn 1800 per mo for 18 mo =$42,400
same truck $30,000 cash....financed for 18 mo w/6000 dn(20%plus 10%interest=1533 per mo=$33,594....
$8800 savings versus them....now this is just straight finance talk i have no idea as to the credability of this company....now they do state their trucks come with a "warranty" and again i do not know their terms just stating fact....hope this helps -

Places like this are the subprime/payday lenders of the truck financing world. Almost always best to be avoided.
Why would you consider financing through them instead of a bank,credit union or well known finance company? What benefit is there for you?
Unlike some on this board I believe leasing is a legitimate way to finance equipment. But when it comes to trucks NEVER lease a used truck.You will be liable for accumulated wear and tear inflicted prior to you leasing/operating the truck.
With a true lease, there is no such thing as a down payment. With a $7,000 "down payment" you are financing that truck for them.
Ask yourself this: Why are they leasing trucks instead selling them?
Answer: Because they plan on owning the truck after you are gone, i.e. they are planning on you to fail.ky wildcat 4ever Thanks this. -
I believe these outfits finance anyone and that is why he is asking. Some people have no credit or bad credit and cant get a bank loan. For someone who needs a in house financing program to get financed you may try Blackmun equipment. I will say I have not bought from them but did look at there trucks when I was looking. Nice people and the deal would of been if I bought the truck I put 5k down and paid 1000 a month till it was payed for. Real easy to deal with and in my opinion a fair deal. DIdnt seem like the trucks were over priced and everything I looked at was clean. The biggest issue is there in stockton CA.
IMTruckingIThink Thanks this. -
I don't think having bad credit is a good enough reason to consider a lot of these programs just to fulfill the need for instant gratification. -
