Buying a 2006 Columbia, $18000, good deal?

Egr delete. That’s the only emissions thing ny 07 had.

 

Awesome rig Dave.

 

I had a aftermarket DPF installed. It’s in my profile pics.

 

Not to sound harsh, but you DO realize I mentioned putting the 28-35000 towards a used Pete or KW, right? Never said all million mile trucks are junk.

 

If the cat house did the work and has warranty than I would consider it, if backyard bob did the work then offer 8 -10k and that’s if he has receipts of parts from back yard bob..Plenty of Columbia parts out there and they are fairly easy and “cheapish” to work on. .. Not a bad choice for a first truck.. the engine makes or breaks a Columbia since they are throw away trucks and are a dime a dozen... not hating on a Columbia just pointing out the facts..

Fyi that yellow motor is worth more Than the truck even tho it is a acert..

 

Gotta say Dave’s truck is sexy.

 

How much did it cost you to retrofit DPF into that piece of junk?

Also, how much time did that effort buy you?

 

Going rate was about 15k to 16k to retrofit a S60. But 2020 the retrofit is no longer allowed to run anymore in California do to the lower NoX requirement of epa2010.

 

To be clear I wasn't calling million milers junk. That's all I own. My every day truck is a 91 model. Seems any more everyone holds an inframe like a holy grail. A good one is close for sure but with so many having to be gone back into keep that in mind on the price

 

I would never get your truck and a 2006 Columbia mixed up. No mater how many miles they have in them.
