Mid 90’s Kenworth w900L??

Ohio Truck Sales? They are proof that you CAN polish a turd! They put a cheap paint job on the truck and clean it up. As far as as the engine and drive train, good luck.

 

Guys with your thinking are the reason the used truck prices are 3x higher than they should be
Hope you have a nice shop and are mechanically inclined.. with a hefty check book
Best of luck to ya

 

When I hear the term "quality" when refering to a used truck, I define it as 100% work ready, ultra-clean and with all major components overhauled in the last year or so. You're not getting a 25-30 year old truck like that for under $100k.

 

Thing folks don't tend to think about with used trucks of that vintage is the nickle and dime crap like air lines, wiring, bolts and fasteners corroding, 30 years of frame stress etc.

Personally, I'd pay more $$$$ for a truck with a brand new frame, new wiring/hoses and a half worn out engine than an old beater with a fresh inframe.

 

Your spot on ..
Wait till he's sitting along side the road with 45 mins to make his unload appointment because a airline broke due to age and he misses his unload or load appointment.. and that 30.00 line now costs him a 1500 load .. .. But he'll look good sitting there with his shinny quality pre computer truck while he waits for the 200. Service truck

 

ahh one of the new guys 7 months in the business, can’t wait for your bankruptcy.
