Considering buying a truck

If you're thinking, even for a second, you might be getting hosed then maybe that's your common sense trying to tell you something. Don't ignore your intuition. I wouldn't recommend buying any truck from the hand that feeds you. You'd be in a much better place to get your own truck via your own methods and then taking it to them to lease on with. That way they can't starve you if they decide to punish you for something later down the road.

 

$25k.

 

What I mean is you already don't trust them to sell you the truck at an honest price because if you did you wouldn't be here asking us. So if you can't trust them at that level; what makes you think you can trust them in the more serious avenues of the business? The truck and driving it is the easiest part of trucking. Once you're in neck deep the real issues begin. As a company guy you can walk away with ease. Not so much when you have thousands upon thousands of dollars in debt hanging over your head. I guess what I'm trying to say is you better think about this as rationally as possible while leaving your emotions at the door. I know you didn't ask for all this and I don't want to push it on you. Just trying to give a heads up in case you haven't read all the horror stories here about lease purchases.

 

I bought my truck this way, former employer asked if I wanted to buy a truck he was going to sell. I didn't have any financing. We struck a deal like the old sammons lease purchase. I may have paid a little more than it's worth but it's just cost of doing business. I paid it off in 6 months, including some tires, and repairs.

What I'm getting at is, if you trust them and you want a truck, jump in and get to it.

 

I wouldn’t pay over 15k Max

Truck has rust.
Small sleeper.
And it’s a western star.
And it’s ready for an Inframe.

 

Then go pay $50k for a truck that’s worth $15k.

You asked what is worth.

Remember when you go to buy it, it’s the highest in the market.
Go to sale it, no one wants it.


25k for 594k miles.
