    If your not interested in keeping it I'd be interested in buying it from you. I have a 2014 389 already. Might be interested in your truck for parts

    I would make sure title does not have any leins against it first of all. Then you can get a key for the truck at peterbilt that way if you can't start it you could get the mileage on truck. If you buy you will need to get key anyways. Seems like a very good deal maybe to good of a deal. Cab along on truck is probably worth 10 grand. If it had a cat engine in it I would not even give it a second though.

    To get the key via the vin, you’re gonna have to provide proof of ownership. They won’t just cut you a key because you might want to buy a truck

    I am going to revise my post, offer $5000 for the truck, that is all it is worth.

    Why do you guys keep chasing junk and then paying a lot of money for it?

    No more than 5000, and provided the #### thing has a title.

    No key is a problem. I for one would have a bridge to sell if anyone would believe a legitimate truck for sale without a key.

    Yeah the title thing knocks off $3000.

    What's the big deal about the key, who cares if it has one, you don't need a key to tow it.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    It’s too cheap. I see wrecked trucks like that that go for double. Something sounds fishy. I would do some research on that vin number.
