    Does anyone have any experience with this truck? I found one that was a really good price. Miles on the truck is 460k. Is being that low a red flag?

    Not yet. I think I'm going to pass on this one. Price is to low and it doesn't seem right. Saw it on Craigslist

    I think thats what they are going for these days. I am finding them all day long for that price range and at dealerships. I am working with Mack of Nashville on the one im looking at. They have 2 more of them. Heck, I found a penske unit here in Nashville they are asking 41 k for the same spec'd 2012 FL Cascadia as we are looking at. They have had it for a while (a year) but the service history history looks good on it. Im talking about the real service history, not the generic one posted on the listing from penske. But i got that guy considering 34,500. I don't think they are going to go for it but he hasn't told me to pound sand yet

    I think the market is flooded with used trucks right now and suspect it has been for a while.

    Do you know who had it and what they used it for before? If it was with a private fleet, that could explain the lower mileage.

    I actually bought a 2013 Volvo 730 today. It was a nice truck but something didn't feel right.
