    23000 is in the ballpark for that. My '02 was 25k after all said and done. Mileage is of course the other big factor. Mine had 600k. If the one you're looking at has a million then try to get it wayy down. But I don't know how you win that one though since it will probably need a 10 or 15k overhaul VERY soon.

    That sounds like a good 'un. An out of frame almost seems like beyond the call of duty. Really great if you're pretty sure they actually did it.

    My truck has recaps :biggrin_25511: But they've been doing fine.

    yeah thats what i said hell the rebuild was 14,500 alone the sales men told me its been sitting on the lot for awhile thats why its so cheap but it just goes to show how the trucking industry is doing from what the guy told me it used to be a bull hauler and the op babied his trucks he traded this one in on a new 389

    now if i can figure out what i wanna haul id be set:biggrin_2552:.... i got the credit to rent a trailer so getting stuck with one is not a prob I'm leaning in to a hopper or a reefer. Hoppers are all over the place around here and they seem to be moving pretty good as for reefers not that great I seen 3 just sitting in a field. I asked the owner and he said they havent moved in a week (he was sitting out front working on one of them half crocked with about 10 empty beer cans on the ground...I swear lol)

    Its funny...reefers are doing as well as the person who you talk to says they are. Different response for every person. I chalk it up to reefers being just like everything else that isn't CHRobinson right now. Worse than usual, not too horrible.
