    I have a hard time looking at either one of those trucks thru my monitor... get an independent shop to look them over.

    Personally FL and Volvo would be at the bottom of my list... you can get better prices at smaller, independent dealers BTW... big time $$$ saver.

    These are real prices...

    If you are going to spend $24K... you won't beat this truck...ex-WalMart...pre-'07 (no EGR BS) engine...

    Thanks for your reply, however the truck i am buying is $28k it only has 508000 miles, and is a 2005 century with a detroit/fuller 10 speed, looking at the links you have sent me, it seems like i have a good deal, happy christmas

    I have a truck paper here, too bad it is from 4 months ago. hillcrest motors had several 2005 centry's with 400.000 miles for $20,000. I called them & they had other trucks & the best deal out there. but the $20,000 ones were gone.

    We picked up my 05 Columbia, Detroit/Meritor 10 spd, with 310,000 for right at
    20k..

    The one your looking at seems over priced to me..
