    How many hours? Make sure to verify that's it's not actually 1.4M. I've saw some not so honest listings on the truck paper like that and they neglected to put the 1 1st Lol

    It’s a Freightliner. I can’t find anything around here for less than 35k. Anywhere I should be looking online?

    Right now it’s a sellers market and the dealers have prices jacked up $10-20k over what they should be.
    I’d look for private sellers,so Craigslist,truck paper,commercial truck trader. There’s a couple older Freightliner’s on Craigslist for around $15k but you need to know what you’re looking at.
    Allstate in Greensboro has a green T800 with a decent price $24k but shows some rust in the pics, and I wouldn’t trust any paperwork he shows unless it’s a dealer invoice and then confirm the vin.

    I know! The prices have almost doubled since the first of the year. The worst part is I need an automatic due to an injury I suffered

    Is there a place I can look up the vin and see if the truck I want to go see actually had a out of frame rebuild?
