    my advice is buy used so if anything happens to go wrong your not in the hole for 140k. Right now is not the best time to buy new. you want low risk in this economy so you don't lose your shirt. My old man is buying a used truck and if it goes south he only has a 250 monthly payment. If you can take out a home equity loan, Its much better than being stuck with $1500 month bill

    I plan on buying a used truck I am selling my 2 family home and using the funds for the truck I might finance 1/2 only to build commercial credit and I can get financing at 2% . I will more than likley get a trailer from Mercer or buy a new one and do the same financing
    I received a call from Gary at Mercer looking for a copy of my long form physical and a missing phone number

    Something used maby a T2000,Pete 386/7, an international 9400, I even like Mack Vision/Pinnacle Cummins or Mack power with a 13 speed and hopefully it will have an APU. I am not opposed to a freightliner I am just not a fan of freightliner doors or dashboards.
    I have been looking and watching the Truck Papper. I have several offers on the house just need to pick one and sign the purchase and sale then after the closing I will purchase the truck until then I am just waiting for the weather to break into spring so I can pour a foundation on my new shop
