99 western star 500 detroit 13speed $10000?

I'd get it. Good spec, solid truck, solid motor, and even if it needs an inframe in the next 100k or so you're ahead of the game as opposed to someone carrying a truck payment.

 

For the money, it's sure worth a look.

 

Not a bad price compared to what they are asking for 1999's sitting on the dealers lots , see if you can look over the paperwork on the so called rebuilds if possible , might find out they were not full rebuilds as much as repairs.

 

hes trying to take your money, give me his contact info and Ill set him straight.....
Id oil sample that ole summgun asap and jump all over it. Id take that over a newer truck any day of the week. But thats me

 

I can't add much to what you've been told. for 10 K, even if you only drive it for a yr and sell it for parts, you'd still be ahead of the game. There is a lot of older guys that buy truck under 10K and run them for a yr or two and replace them. Better learn how to work on your truck otherwise you will go broke. parts are bad enough without paying $110 per hr or more (book rate)

 

In fact if you decide not to buy it, let me know cause I have a freight that is a detroit mechanic that has been looking for a WS with a detroit

 

It's a $10,000 truck. You can almost part it and scrap it for that.
