How do I Buy a truck?

Under $1 a mile? By the time you buy fuel and pay yourself you’ll be near $1 a mile. Then you have maintenance, insurance, truck replacement, and all your other expenses.

Nevermind the current market, but buying an emission truck with 550k on it will be buying someone else’s problems. There’s a reason the first owner got rid of it at that mileage.

 

All respect, Chi, but even if the freight economy were blowing up (which it ain't) you haven't been doing this anywhere near long enough to be contemplating this path.

 

You post this and then ask about buying a truck? Did you fall and hit your head real hard between then and now?

 

I do not know of any Manufacturer that will write a warranty out to 500k. Most you pay way too much to get 400k.

That would be the reason the fleet dumped that thing.

That is way too much money for a truck that may require about $30,000 to $50,000 engine rebuild very soon.

Unless it has a recent documented rebuild from a reputable shop, with a nationwide warranty from that shop, I would not touch it.

RigDig, Oil test, review of all service records, and 3rd party dyno test would still be required by me before any kind decision could be considered.

 

Even worse. It’s doubtful it’s had any preventative maintenance done on the emission system.
