Good deal on a Pete 387?

Personaly i wouldn't spend that kind of cash on a truck that has that many miles. Yes the engine and trans may be in good shape, but what about diffs, drive train, steering, electrical, air systems, interior...etc. The rest of the truck still has over a million

 

Me personally i wouldn't spend 32 on a trk with over million miles if u look in books the have trucks with over million miles 25k and below just like that trk it have new things done to it. I been researching it Im getting ready to buy a Pete 387 also. I would offer less. It's like richter said there are other components on truck that have over a million miles. U say the engine got 150000 miles on it u no everybody drive different.

 

I think that price is about 7-8K too high. Just my thinking. Truck paper has 5 of them under 25K and 7 under 30K, and that's just the 05's. There's newer ones for less on there. Check this one out for example; http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=4703125

 

0 down and 7-800 a month.. Is this a l/p deal?

 

What kind of fuel mileage are you hoping for? This set up might get you 6 if your lucky and probably more like 5.5. The million plus miles it has on it would be a non starter as well. I was looking on truckpaper last night and saw a '99 FLD with 600k miles and a Detroit for $12,000. I would be way more interested in that truck then the '05 pete your looking at.

 

20000- 25000 is what i have found for a trk with million miles and if u got them down to 26000 that's pretty fair but before u leave with that truck go thru it with fine tooth comb find anything wrong u can

 

Wow lots of trucks out there over a million miles fresh motor and trans sounds like just nickel and dime stuff left to fix to me nothing that is huge in terms of dollars if you like it go for it but check around get the best deal you can I don't know what its worht bit a 600k can have all the same problems in my opinion

 

i know 2 guys that bought 07 petes with 600k for $45G.

an 05 pete with a million miles probably goes for 25. but with a rebuilt motor and new trans. that HAS to add SOME value.

2 years ago. when i was looking. that same year was selling for $35G +. close to a million miles WITHOUT rebuilt motor or trans.

but now that carb compliance is an issue. that plays a big part in value of a truck.
