How much was is your truck?

2016 pete 579 with 300,000 miles for 67 k bought it last year in september . Runs great good milage and reliable.

 

2006 Western Star with 190,000 on full rebuild. Paid $29,000

 

There are lots of gliders for sale, DO NOT buy an emission truck. Find a glider with a FACTORY rebuilt s60. Columbia or coronado. I like my columbia, cheapest truck to get fixed, lots of new and used parts available. Less downtime, less drama.

 

What's wrong with my house?

 

One thing to remember when buying a truck, if you buy an older cheap one there’s a lot more downtime and expense with it. A truck only a couple years old with low miles should be much more reliable. I know emission trucks have a bad name, but the newer ones are doing fairly well. Wouldn’t buy one more than 3 years old with much over 350-400,000 miles.

An older cheap truck has little depreciation. You very possibly will make nearly a truck payment every month on the taxes you will pay. A newer more expensive truck gives you good depreciation saving thousands every year on taxes. I know people tell you get a different accountant that will “work” with you so if you want to be dishonest like many others this advice is no good. Personally I don’t feel right not paying taxes

For me, buying a newer truck has bumped my payment up a good bit every month, but was financially a much smarter move for me I feel like.

 

Good post. My thoughts exactly.

 

Nice! House is nice, shop is really nice. You need taller garage doors though. I put a 10'x10' door in my 24x36 shop just before I bought my tractor and need a 14' door now.

 

This is a great starter/project truck. Pre-eld with a 3406. Theres old heads that are retiring and don’t even know what truckersreport is, still use flip phones.

Pre-eld= Paper logs= MONEY. I have two gold bars that I can clap together. Cash is king but gold is the language of the gods, just saying.

Mechanical CAT= you have to really murder a motor like this to even break it down.

 

good luck finding parts for those, hell about done rebuilding my uncles 97 LTL9000 and we all about passed out when we figured out what those stupid sev marshell lights in the bumper are gong for used now.......

One thing I will give KW is if we call for something like a blower motor switch for the 1976 before 2pm in will be in the shop by beer time
