That seems like a heck of a lot of money for a truck that old, even with the low miles. I'd expect that on a truck at least 4 years newer. Is it maybe the heavy duty stuff making it that much?
-
One would think its a little steep but considering used truck prices right now thats no surprise.I dont know if these people are actually getting these prices. Ive read some good things about that airliner airride susp. Id imagine it would ride like a dream with a 280" wb.
-
yes, heavy spec makes a lot of difference, I saw freightliner 2009 with same spec for 69000 but with 700000 km
-
You running it in Canada? Wheelbase laws can be a PITA .... otherwise price seems a bit high, I think this truck should be more like 45-50,000 CDN$$ ... but depends if you want to play the emissions gamble ...
-
45-50; thats quite a difference, you think its not worth 62- 65 considering low mileage and heavy spec?

Martens Peterbilt sells trucks equipped with heavy rearends because they deal with coal haulers. They are located in London, Ky. I-75 exit 38 I think. You could check their prices for comparison .
bubbahotep Thanks this. -
thanks lone ranger, compared to those petes this looks like a good deal, i just have to check regulation about wheelbase in alberta and manitoba
-
I didn't think they still made the fld 120 in 2007?
-
That engine can brake you. Make sure you want that emissions nightmare before you buy.
gokiddogo Thanks this.
