    I don't think he'll pay more than 85k for that truck.

    You're either running a fleet or trolling

    No fleet and you can easily see my history to tell if I’m trolling..

    but why

    Edit: Comparing to similar trucks right now thats actually a decent deal but why wouldn't it be better to wait until things go down a bit?? Seems really high for the miles!

    How long do you think he would be waiting? My guess is 1.5 years at best the way new trucks are slowly coming out. He could easily make up that amount of money if he needed the truck.

    Guess theres no telling and no time to wait around and find out. Makes sense

    It would’ve been better to wait, however I picked up a new account pulling 13’6 wide loads and needed a truck that had more than 400 hp and 2.19 rears..
    on the plus side, I sold my cascades for 8k more than I paid for it plus I put 150k on it..
     
    JoeyJunk, Siinman and Badmon Thank this.
