If you have to then the Columbia. But 62k for a ten year old columbia is outrageous. You can buy a 2012 Schnieder glider for 48k, and have the same monthly payment. Check out Schnieder fllet sales and loo at their gliders. 2006 Columbias go for 20-30k on truckpaper.
If your serious about this o/o deal then check out the latter.NWAF, TheDudeAbides, RERM and 2 others Thank this. -
For what it's worth, the 9200 eagle in my avatar was pushing 800k miles and was still comfortable with a few squeaks inside, and the doors would shut fully with little effort.
My friend's Columbia was an absolute rattle trap, sleeper cabinets were loose, and the doors took a good slam to shut them. I don't know the mileage that his was at, but it was a 2007, mine was a 2005.
The 9200 had a cab mount , front heater motor, and a gauge cluster module replaced in the 2 years that I had it. All of my other repairs were engine-related (not an international thing) -
62k for a 06 columbia?? you do realize that is a 15-30k dollar truck right?
-
Make sure you have a 12.7 in the shaker. Some sales reps tell you it has a pre emissions 60 series in it and it really has a 14L with a egr and a egr cooler and all the sensors. Good luck
-
Any 12.7 built after 2002 will also have an egr and all the problems that come with it. And any 14L built in 02 or earlier will not have an egr.
But 62k for a truck you can buy all day long for 20ish. Ouch.
@Md420 can you remind me why buying used from a dealer isn't an option for you? -
My credit from a younger dumber me, plus a nasty divorce, plus me being broke and doing what I had to do to feed my kids.
I just haven't filed bankruptcy yet. I plan on doing that this fall and doing this l/p for about a year and going to get me a truck after that -
Why file bankruptcy? Just pay off the debt.
BoostedTeg, KenworthGuyNH and MJ1657 Thank this. -
Filing bankruptcy and signing a lease purchase deal. Extremely brilliant.
All of us that responsibly pay our bills can join in on the fun.fordconvert, BoostedTeg, spyder7723 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Dude, you could get that Columbia, way cheaper, even at a Buy Here Pay Here lot!!!!!!fordconvert Thanks this.
