    Make sure you read the fine print and know the terminology the part that say OPEN END LEASE can bite you when they tell you about that balloon payment. Not trying to steer you away but these companies have years of experience screwing people over. Get every thing in writing. The way they get you is tons of paperwork hoping you wont read it all. Make sure the truck is something you are satisfied with because once you sign you will be stuck with it. Check the prices of the same truck in the same condition and mileage online. And if you read some of my other post you will listen to this good. DON'T believe anything they say about the truck take a good mechanic with you or when you test drive it take it to a freightliner dealer. I have 10 years heavy equipment experience and I missed some things that I should have seen and some that might have been detected had I took it to a dealer but I though I was better than I really am costly mistake. But I'm still ahead so far seeing that I paid less than other 07 780's with same mileage and equipment and the APU was a plus.
