    I have been thinking about lightly used ,low mileage trucks.
    And I wanna bargain!!
    I'll take a truck like that Volvo. With low,low miles. Looking new.
    I'll pay $50k.
    And no, it can't be burned or crashed.

    I've been on the internet. I know they're not that cheap.

    3rd party warrantees can be pretty much useless. They tend to fight you on covering anything. Manufacturers warrantee can be ok. Cummins offers a pretty good warrantee. I think you have to be the 2nd owner of the truck to get it but it's worth the money.

    Yes. I thought my old one road smooth, but this one is like butter.

    Paccar (parent company of Kenworth and Peterbilt)has 4 or 5 used truck lots around the country.
    I think it says on their sight you get a one year warranty on the engine and emissions system.
    I don't know if it's free and whether it applies to all trucks.
    Some really low miles on some.
    Prices aren't cheap imo.
    I live 70 miles from Spartanburg where they have a lot.
    I rode by there. Their trucks look shiny.

    A friend was issued a new Volvo by his company. He has driven it over 200k miles.
    No problems. He likes it.
    I-shift transmission.
     
    Bakerman Thanks this.
