    It is priced low because they know the truck has been through it's lifetime and needs a heart transplant. By the time the buyer spends a year or two in it he or she will wish it were wrecked. Been there Done that and finaly paid off the debts that proved it.

    Dang, how did I ever get to 1.3 million miles in my current truck?

    2-300k 2011's are $90-100k. If the motor dynos good and has a good oil analysis, he should be good to for a while. If he puts 20k in a rebuild next year, he's still ahead of the game. I've bought two former team trucks, high mileage, 3 years old and they were fine.

    I'd just be to scared to make that investment is all. Now if it had a good body and interior and I was able to do the overhaul myself...well that's a different story. But most trucks used that hard,smell like arse inside them anyway bc the motor never shut off. :biggrin_25523:

    That's VERY cheap for an 11 lonestar. Blood samples, dyno, blow by check, find out when the last EGR valve and cooler were done, or do it right away, if the body and running gear are In Good shape I'd do it. That's cheap.

    Now if that is 800,000 km instead of miles it would be around 480,000 miles which would be a different ball game.
