Newbie - T600 KW 2007

wow, first of all not be mean but are you sure your ready to own a truck ? new to the industry,little experience. owning your own set up is huge under taking lots to know starting with the industry.

 

what is this truck listed at ?

 

If you are planning to take loads in and out of California I don't think the 2007 truck will meet the standards. The deadline for registering out of spec trucks has already passed, and even if you have registered the deadline for getting a new engine or adding a $10K filter will be 1/1/14. If you are going to use the truck anywhere BUT California then it could be a good truck. The California situation is what is driving down the cost of older trucks.

If it were me I'd have at least $10K-$20K in reserve for immediate mechanical and tire issues.

 

it's always looks easier than it is,just dont like seeing folks fail.

how much they asking for the truck?

 

If the history of this truck is a fleet truck and it has 700K miles on it, the fact that it has two owners raises a question in my mind. Usually a fleet truck will be sold with 500K miles. Second owner has only 200K miles. I'm wondering if the truck has "issues" that prompted the second owner to dump it or whether there were other circumstances behind the decision to sell it? If you can take a trusted mechanic to check it out I think that would be money very very well spent, in addition to oil analysis and a dyno.

 

only you can really decide if you go that far to buy a truck.

it looks to be in good shape, problem is in this area used is still high demand so the price fits the area.

I have a truck just like this one, only differences color and engine.
the only things I had issues with to look for shackle bushings and steering gear box leaked on top took 3 trys before a shop found the right o-ring.


if you have the ability to a mechanic with you do it,if they are trustworthy.
