Considering buying a truck

Thank you all for all of your input. It has provided perspective that I was looking for. I'm hoping to meet with the powers that be during the first half of this week to see what the deal is, or if there is one.

The flatbed director has already offered me back a company position (repeatedly for months lol) and has encouraged the possibility of the truck purchase, but the owner is the guy who makes the deals.

Freight is steady. Rates are decent but not amazing. They average 5k a week linehaul revenue most weeks. That's regional and home usually 2 nights a week. The option to run more is certainly there. Other owner ops are getting 89% but I haven't seen it in writing myself.

What are the biggest questions and concerns I should be having here when I meet? I need to make myself a list or I'll miss things I need to know

 

The western star is the truck I want. It was my baby when I was company there. That being said, I can't use my attachment as a reason to overspend or make a poor choice in purchasing a truck.

So, in line with that, I need opinions on one other truck. I know this one is for sale, and I've driven it, but I don't know much history.

2011 Mack CHU613 flat top. MP8 at 500hp, Eaton 13spd, 40k rears, 400k miles, overall in clean condition visually minus a bent bumper. Ex Venezia truck.

Cons:
single fuel tank
Modified "against forum policy"
Bent bumper

Pros:
Clean
Lower miles
Listed for sale for less than 30k

I know nothing about macks... Should I inquire on this lower mileage larger bunk truck? Or run from the low price tag and unknowns?
